Localization of gene functions in polyoma virus DNA.

Abstract

Polyoma virus mutants of four functionally distinct groups have been mapped by the marker rescue technique using restriction enzyme fragments of wild-type viral DNA. Nontransforming host-range mutants map in the proximal part of the early region of the viral genome. The same DNA fragment that restores a normal host range also restores normal transforming ability to these mutants. ts-25D, a temperature-sensitive (ts)-a class mutant, maps in the distal part of the early region. ts-3 and ts-1260 map in the proximal and distal parts of the late region, respectively.
