Covalent association of protein with replicative form DNA of parvovirus H-1. 1979

D Revie, and B Y Tseng, and R H Grafstrom, and M Goulian

The double-stranded replicative form (RF) DNA of the autonomous parvovirus H-1 can be isolated from infected cells in a covalent complex with protein. The protein is present on most or all of the RF DNA, including actively replicating molecules, and is associated with the 5'-terminal endonuclease Hae III fragments of both the viral and complementary strands of RF. The size of the protein is estimated to be 60,000-70,000 daltons from its effect on buoyant density of DNA. DNA with covalently bound protein has not been found in H-1 virions.

D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D009698	Nucleoproteins	Proteins conjugated with nucleic acids.	Nucleoprotein
D010321	Parvoviridae	A family of very small DNA viruses containing a single molecule of single-stranded DNA and consisting of two subfamilies: PARVOVIRINAE and DENSOVIRINAE. They infect both vertebrates and invertebrates.	Picodnaviruses
D002500	Centrifugation, Isopycnic	A technique used to separate particles according to their densities in a continuous density gradient. The sample is usually mixed with a solution of known gradient materials and subjected to centrifugation. Each particle sediments to the position at which the gradient density is equal to its own. The range of the density gradient is usually greater than that of the sample particles. It is used in purifying biological materials such as proteins, nucleic acids, organelles, and cell types.
