Journal ArticleDOI
DNA nicking favors PCR recombination
TL;DR: It is shown that false positives caused by in vitro recombination in a plasmid containing directly repeated sequences are attributable to a small degree of nicking and/or breaking of the DNA template.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decapsidation of polyoma virus: Identification of subviral species☆
Eric Frost,Pierre Bourgaux +1 more
TL;DR: Mouse embryo cells that had been exposed to polyoma virus (Py) labeled in its protein and/or DNA moiety were fractionated at various times after infection and Sedimentation analysis of the cytoplasm revealed the presence of a labeled viral DNA-protein complex, termed NP, which is absent from virus preparations used for infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is a specific protein responsible for the supercoiling of polyoma DNA
TL;DR: In an attempt to explore the nature and function of polyoma DNA, the effect of various inhibitors of protein synthesis on the formation and properties of this complex are investigated with puromycin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unwinding of replicating polyoma virus DNA
TL;DR: Physical characterization of two cyclic template chains similar to those observed for replicating SV40 DNA showed that they are unwound during replication, and the covalently-closed template duplex exhibits negative supercoils in neutral solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The replication of the ring-shaped dna of polyoma virus, i. identification of the replicative intermediate
TL;DR: The replication of the ring-shaped polyoma DNA has been investigated and the replicative intermediate has been identified and characterized; it consists of molecules containing both circular and nicked strands, not longer than the strands of the DNA found in viral particles.
