Abstract
A 4-kb HindIII fragment that supported the efficient autonomous replication of plasmid vector pDY-, a replication-defective construct based on Epstein-Barr virus sequences, in human K562 cells was rescued from amplified double-minute chromosomes containing the murine adenosine deaminase locus. Polymerase chain reaction assays of size-fractionated nascent strands demonstrated that replication initiation occurred within the same 1- to 2-kb region of this fragment in autonomously replicating plasmids containing the sequence in either orientation, in double-minute chromosomes, and in the single-copy locus at its normal chromosomal location. The complete sequence of this fragment was determined; it contains a 248-bp polypurine tract and consensus binding site sequences for several putative transcription and replication factors.Entities:
