Formation of nucleoprotein complexes between polyoma empty capsides and DNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purified polyoma empty capsids and polyoma type I DNA interact in a cell-free system to form nucleoprotein complexes. Complexes that consist of one, two, three, and four empty capsids per DNA molecule have been detected. Polyoma virions or capsomers do not react with added DNA to form such complexes.

Chromatin-like structures in polyoma virus and simian virus 10 lytic cycle.
Nucleoprotein complexes containing viral DNA and cellular histones were extracted from nuclei of permissive cells infected with polyoma virus or simian virus 40 (SV40) and examined by electron microscopy. Polyoma and SV40 nucleoprotein complexes are almost identical. They appear as relaxed circular molecules consisting of 20 to 21 globular particles interconnected by thin filaments. Their conto...
متن کاملProperties of nucleoprotein complexes containing replicating polyoma DNA.
Short-lived nucleoprotein complexes (r-py complex) containing replicating polyoma DNA were isolated from infected cells after lysis with Triton X-100. The Triton lysing procedure of Green, Miller, and Hendler (1971) releases most complexes containing supercoiled viral DNA (py complex) from nuclei, but liberates only a portion of r-py complexes. r-py Complexes are associated more strongly with n...
متن کاملOrigin of DNA replication in papovavirus chromatin is recognized by endogenous endonuclease.
Isolated simian virus 40 (SV40) and polyoma nucleoprotein complexes contain endonuclease that, under in vitro conditions, converts part (up to 30%) of the covalently closed superhelical DNA to full-length linear rods. The positions of the cleavage sites within the genomes of SV40 and polyoma were determined by digestion with various single-cut restriction endonucleases and subsequent agarose ge...
متن کاملConversion of simian virus 40 DNA to ordered nucleoprotein structures by extracts that direct accurate initiation by eukaryotic RNA polymerase II.
Interaction of SV40 DNA with three different HeLa cell extracts capable of directing correct initiation of transcription leads to the formation of ordered nucleoprotein complexes that are structurally similar to SV40 minichromosomes and eukaryotic chromatin. These nucleoprotein complexes can be conveniently purified by band sedimentation or gel filtration. Their sedimentation and elution proper...
متن کاملDirect imaging of human Rad51 nucleoprotein dynamics on individual DNA molecules.
Rad51 protein (Rad51) is central to recombinational repair of double-strand DNA breaks. It polymerizes onto DNA and promotes strand exchange between homologous chromosomes. We visualized the real-time assembly and disassembly of human Rad51 nucleoprotein filaments on double-stranded DNA by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. Rad51 assembly extends the DNA by approximately 65%. Nucleoprotei...
