Herpesvirus papio (HVP) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are closely related biologically and biochemically; lymphoblastoid cells infected with either virus contain episomal viral DNA. The putative origin of replication for EBV plasmids (oriP) has been assigned to a 1,790-base-pair fragment (cis) in the short unique region of the genome which requires a viral function supplied in trans from elsewhere in the genome (J. Yates, N. Warren, D. Reisman, and B. Sugden, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:3806-3810, 1984). We report here the identification of the putative origin of replication (cis) in HVP; we assigned it to the HVP EcoRI K fragment. The results indicate that the HVP replication process requires both a cis and a trans-acting function, analogous to that found in EBV.
狒狒疱疹病毒(HVP)和爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)在生物学和生物化学上密切相关;感染这两种病毒的淋巴母细胞都含有游离的病毒DNA。EBV质粒的假定复制起点(oriP)已被定位到基因组短独特区域中的一个1790碱基对的片段(顺式作用元件),该片段需要从基因组其他位置反式提供的病毒功能(J. 耶茨、N. 沃伦、D. 赖斯曼和B. 萨格登,《美国国家科学院院刊》81:3806 - 3810,1984年)。我们在此报告HVP假定复制起点(顺式作用元件)的鉴定;我们将其定位到HVP EcoRI K片段。结果表明,HVP复制过程需要顺式和反式作用功能,这与在EBV中发现的情况类似。
