[Detection and mapping of conserved nucleotidic sequences between the genomes of human papillomavirus 1 a and bovine papillomavirus 1 by electron microscope heteroduplex analysis (author's transl)]. 1982

O Croissant, and V Testanière, and G Orth

Three regions of partial homology have been detected between the genomes of human papillomavirus 1 a (HPV-1 a) and bovine papillomavirus 1 (BPV-1) by electron microscope analysis of heteroduplex molecules. These regions contain about 25% of non-homologous bases and represent 13% of the genome length. They have been mapped on the viral DNAs. This allowed a reciprocal orientation of the physical maps of the two genomes. Two regions are located in the middle of the transforming fragment of BPV-1 DNA and the third, at at diametrically opposite position, falls into the region of the genome coding most probably for a viral structural protein.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D009692	Nucleic Acid Heteroduplexes	Double-stranded nucleic acid molecules (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) which contain regions of nucleotide mismatches (non-complementary). In vivo, these heteroduplexes can result from mutation or genetic recombination; in vitro, they are formed by nucleic acid hybridization. Electron microscopic analysis of the resulting heteroduplexes facilitates the mapping of regions of base sequence homology of nucleic acids.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D027383	Papillomaviridae	A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
