Appearance in vivo of single-stranded complementary ends on parental herpesvirus DNA.

Abstract

Intracellular forms of pseudorabies virus parental DNA were examined before and after the onset of viral DNA synthesis. Before initiation of synthesis, parental viral DNA acquires single-stranded ends. Circular and concatemeric molecules are also observed, indicating that the single-stranded ends are complementary. Viral DNA replication is initiated at an internal site within the DNA molecule, giving rise to characteristic replicative loops with single-stranded regions in the trans position. Such replicative loops were seen in unit-size (and smaller than unit-size) linear molecules as well as in circular and concatemeric molecules. These results show that the parental viral DNA molecules that acquire single-stranded ends, and consequently are able to form circles and concatemers, proceed to replicate.
