Abstract
The T4 gene 32 protein, which binds to single-stranded but not duplex DNA, forms a specifically located denaturation loop in covalently closed circular simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA. Cleavage of the SV40 DNA-gene 32 protein complex with a restriction endonuclease from Hemophilus parainfluenzae shows the loop center to be at 0.46 on the SV40 DNA map. This is within one of the regions of SV40 DNA cleaved preferentially by the single-strand-specific nuclease S1.
