Restriction endonuclease cleavage map of the DNA of JC virus. 1979

J D Martin, and R J Frisque, and B L Padgett, and D L Walker

A physical map of the sites cleaved by the following restriction endonucleases was derived for the DNA of JC virus, a human polyomavirus: EcoRI, HpaI, and PstI (one site each); HindII (four sites); and HindIII (three sites). By agarose gel electrophoresis of fragmented DNA, the size of full-length DNA of JC virus was estimated to be 5,125 +/- 105 base pairs (98 +/- 2% of the length of simian virus 40 DNA).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011120 Polyomavirus A genus of potentially oncogenic viruses of the family POLYOMAVIRIDAE. These viruses are normally present in their natural hosts as latent infections. The virus is oncogenic in hosts different from the species of origin.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
