Abstract

The DNA of herpesvirus pan, a primate B-lymphotropic herpesvirus, shares about 40% well-conserved sequence relatedness with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and herpesvirus papio DNAs. Labeled cloned fragments from the EBV recombinant DNA library were cross hybridized to blots of EcoRI, XbaI, and BamHI restriction endonuclease fragments of herpesvirus pan DNA to identify and map homologous sequences in the herpesvirus pan genome. Regions of colinear homology were demonstrated between 6 x 10(6) daltons and 108 x 10(6) daltons in the DNAs. The structural organization of herpesvirus pan DNA was similar to the format of Epstein-Barr virus and herpesvirus papio DNAs. The DNA consists of two domains of largely unique sequence complexity, a segment US of 9 x 10(6) daltons and a segment UL of 88 x 10(6) daltons. US and UL are separated by a variable number of tandem repetitions of a sequence IR (2 x 10(6) daltons). There was homology between DNA which mapped at 26 to 28 x 10(6) daltons and 93 to 95 x 10(6) daltons in UL. The terminal reiteration component, TR, of herpesvirus pan DNA and sequences which mapped to the left of 6 x 10(6) daltons and to the right of 108 x 10(6) daltons had no detectable homology with the corresponding regions of Epstein-Barr virus DNA.
