Abstract

Highly compacted (40S) SV40 DNA replication intermediates formed in vivo during aphidicolin exposure and immediately broke down in two stages. In the rapid initial stage, single strand DNA breaks caused loss of superhelicity in the 40S replication intermediates. This DNA breakage was accompanied by the formation of strong, permanent protein-DNA crosslinks which reached a maximum as nicking of the aberrant DNA replication intermediates was completed. These protein-associated DNA strand breaks were not repaired. In the slower second stage of breakdown, the aberrant DNA replication intermediates remained nicked and strongly associated with protein as they underwent DNA replication fork breakage and recombinational changes to produce high molecular weight forms.
