A portion of the nicked circular DNA isolated from purified simian virus 40 contains a protein-DNA complex in which protein(s) is covalently attached to the end of a DNA single strand. (Nicked DNA is double-stranded DNA that contains at least one single-strand scission.) The protein was visualized by electron microscopy and labeled in vitro with 125I. The bond between the protein and the DNA is stable in alkali, 4 M guanidine-hydrochloride, 3.86 M hydroxylamine (pH 4,23), and in 98% formamide. Most of the molecules in the nicked circular DNA fraction contained one nick. The nick occurs on either of the two complementary strands; the specific nick sites on the two strands are staggered, but lie within a few hundred nucleotides of each other.
从纯化的猿猴病毒40中分离出的带切口环状DNA的一部分含有一种蛋白质-DNA复合物,其中蛋白质与DNA单链末端共价连接。(带切口的DNA是含有至少一个单链断裂的双链DNA。)通过电子显微镜观察到该蛋白质,并在体外用125I进行标记。蛋白质与DNA之间的键在碱、4M盐酸胍、3.86M羟胺(pH 4.23)和98%甲酰胺中稳定。带切口环状DNA部分中的大多数分子含有一个切口。切口出现在两条互补链中的任意一条上;两条链上的特定切口位点是错开的,但彼此相距几百个核苷酸。
