Figure 2. Analysis of linearized RIs arising from the HPV18wt genome.

Figure 2

(a) 2D N/N AGE of BglI-digested HPV18wt episomes extracted from U2OS cells 2, 3 or 5 days post-transfection. 1n, monomeric (8-kbp) linear molecules; 2n, dimeric (16-kbp) linear molecules. Black arrowhead, putative almost fully replicated, late theta RIs; black arrow, dY RIs arising via bidirectional theta replication; white arrows, non-theta molecules. The direction of the gel electrophoresis in the first (1D) and second (2D) dimension is indicated in the top left corner of the panel. (b) A schematic overview of possible RIs created following the digestion of circular molecules undergoing bidirectional theta replication and their migration patterns during 2D N/N AGE39. The approximate position of the origin of bidirectional theta replication is marked as ori13. (c) The position of the BglI restriction site in the HPV18wt genome with regard to the origin of bidirectional theta replication (ori).
