Specific site of action for single-strand specific nuclease on the double-stranded circular DNA intermediates of an avian RNA tumor virus.

摘要

Circular viral DNA intermediates obtained from the quail tumor line, QT6, at 1 day after infection, were opened at one specific location by the single-strand specific nuclease, S1, of Aspergillus oryzae. This site was no longer accessible to the S1 nuclease when circles were first opened at another location with a restriction endonuclease.
