Bidirectional replication of adenovirus type 2 DNA.

M S Horwitz
PMCID: PMC515549  PMID: 1255873

Abstract

After short periods of labeling with [3H]thymidine, recently completed adenovirus DNA molecules were isolated and cleaved with restriction endonucleases. The strands (heavy and light) of most of the restriction endonuclease fragments were separated. The pattern of labeling clearly shows an asymmetry of radioactivity on the isolated strands of each restriction endonuclease piece. The data is consistent with replication proceeding in the 5' to 3' direction on each strand. Thus, there is an initiation point placed at or near each end of the molecule.
