The DNA of Rhodomicrobium vannielii was analysed for the presence of inverted repeat sequences (IR DNA) by S1 nuclease digestion. Approximately 7% of chromosomal DNA was found to be IR DNA which comprised two size classes. The large IR DNA was heterogeneous and contained species in the size range 100-700 bp. The smaller size class contained species of 17 and 27 bp. Both size classes of IR DNA hybridized to many chromosomal restriction fragments, suggesting that these IR DNA sequences are dispersed throughout the genome. Hybridization studies also indicated sequence homology between the two classes of IR DNA and suggested that the 17 and 27 bp IR DNA sequences may exist in clusters.

The nucleotide sequence of the yeast glycolytic hexokinase isoenzyme PI-gene, HXK1, has been determined by sequencing the yeast DNA insert of the previously isolated plasmid HXK1 clone [Entian et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 198 (1984) 50-54]. The structural gene sequence included 1452 bp coding for 484 amino acid (aa) residues corresponding to the Mr of 153 605 for the HXK1 monomer. Several initiation regions and termination points were located using nuclease S1 mapping. The HXK1 sequence was 76% homologous with that of HXK2, which is responsible for triggering glucose repression in yeasts. Since HXK1 is not involved in this regulatory system, the regulatory function of HXK2 must correspond to one or more of the differences between both isoenzymes. Most changes in the amino acid sequence were statistically distributed; however, four clustered regions with more than five altered aa residues were identified.

The gene conferring resistance to kanamycin, aphA, and originating from the streptococcal plasmid pJH1 was inserted into a shuttle vector. Full expression of aphA was obtained in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The starting point for aphA transcription, determined by S1 nuclease mapping, was located 340 base pairs upstream from the ATG translational initiator codon. The sequence of the promoter consists of the hexanucleotides TTGACA and TATCTT, with a spacing of 17 base pairs. The stability profile of a 600 base-pair-long DNA fragment containing the aphA promoter and the translational initiation site indicated that, as already reported for Escherichia coli, both structures are located in domains of weak stability.

Variable amounts of cDNA were synthesized in vitro from RNA extracted from several flaviviruses, including the four prototype dengue (DEN) virus serotypes. The synthesis was carried out using an oligo(dT) primer, suggesting the presence of a short poly(A) region at or near the 3' end of some flavivirus genomes. The DEN-1 and DEN-2 prototype strains produced the largest amount of cDNA and were therefore used to investigate further the relatedness of flavivirus genomes by cDNA-RNA hybridization. The flaviviruses studied are related to each other to some extent since the hybrids formed exhibited about 30% S1 nuclease resistance, but a closer relationship was detected between dengue viruses of serotype 1 and 4 and between dengue virus serotype 2 and Edge Hill virus. A monoclonal antibody to the envelope protein (V3) of dengue viruses reacted with Edge Hill virus, confirming the genetic relationship between the viruses.

Intracytoplasmic A particles (CAP), previously identified as probably cytoplasmic nucleocapsid precursor structures to mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV), possess both DNA binding and DNA unwinding activities, CAP proteins bind to both single-stranded (ss)- and double-stranded (ds)DNA, with the ssDNA slightly preferred. This activity was linear over a 30-fold concentration of A particle protein and was not affected by NaCl concentrations as high as 0.6 M or pH changes over a wide range. DNA binding by CAP proteins was sensitive to heat or addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and was neutralized by pre-incubation of CAP with anti-MMTV p14, but not by anti-MMTV p27, p10 or anti-mouse casein. Incubation of CAP with dsDNA led to unwinding of the double helix as measured by its increased sensitivity to S1 nuclease digestion. This activity was also linear over a several-fold concentration of A particle protein and was heat labile. It was not inhibited by pre-incubation of CAP with either anti-MMTV p14 or with anti-MMTV, anti-MMTV p27 and anti-MMTV p10. DNA unwinding was inhibited by anti-A particle antiserum and to a lesser extent by anti-CAP p20-18.

S1 nuclease analysis and 3' terminal sequencing of the reovirus genome double-stranded RNAs and in vitro produced viral mRNAs has been used to establish the viral mRNA is a full length copy of the genome template. Sequence determination at the 3' end of the genome minus strand has by transposition allowed determination of the 5' terminal sequences of the viral mRNAs. In all but one case an AUG codon which could function in initiation of protein synthesis has been found within the determined sequence. The 3' ends of the plus strands from all genome segments were found to have a common sequence. The implications of these results on the mechanism of virus replication are discussed.

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA encoding the traM, finP and the promoter proximal segment of the traJ gene of the F plasmid has been determined. The predicted amino acid sequence for the traM protein shows that this inner membrane protein contains no signal sequence. The promoters for both the traM and traJ genes have been mapped by in vitro transcription and nuclease S1 protection experiments. No unambiguous location can be assigned to the finP gene but all candidates, if translated, would encode small proteins of between 24 and 52 amino acids.

Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) mRNAs present in cells transformed with left-terminal Ad5 DNA fragments (XhoI-C, 0 to 15.5%; HindIII-G, 0 to 7.7%; HpaI-E, 0 to 4.3% were characterized by 'Northern blotting' and S1 nuclease analysis. They were compared with the mRNAs transcribed from the Ad5 E1 region in the early and late stages of lytic infection. It is shown that in XhoI-C-transformed cells the same mRNAs were transcribed as early during lytic infection: two co-terminal mRNAs from region E1a, differing only in their splicing, and one major E1b transcript. In HindIII-G-transformed cells additional E1a mRNAs were detected with a novel 5' terminus, but with the normal splicing pattern. Instead of the normal E1b mRNA, HindIII-G-transformed cells were found to contain mRNAs consisting of a viral E1b segment and a non-viral segment. This E1b-encoded segment was shown not to be involved in RNA splicing. The mRNAs in cells transformed with Ad5 HpaI-E were similar to the E1a mRNAs found in XhoI-C- and HindIII-G-transformed, and in lytically infected cells but had aberrant 3' termini. These results are discussed in the light of the Ad5 E1 DNA and RNA sequences, and protein mapping data.

The 5' ends of two early herpes simplex virus type 1 mRNAs have been identified by nuclease S1 and exonuclease VII analysis using cloned virus DNA probes. These mRNAs (5.0 kb and 1.2 kb), located within the genome region between map coordinates 0.56 and 0.60, are unspliced and share a 3' terminus. Genomic DNA at the 5' ends has been sequenced and the 5' termini have been located on the virus DNA sequence. The DNA sequence has revealed signals involved in the initiation of transcription of both mRNAs, and the 5' end of the 1.2 mRNA is encoded within the internal sequences of the 5.0 kb mRNA. The probable translational initiation codons for the polypeptides specified by these mRNAs have been identified, and the results indicate that the coding regions of the two mRNAs do not overlap.

It has recently been established that infection with a virus is the most common cause of transient arrest of erythrocyte production in the bone marrow, leading to aplastic crisis, in persons suffering chronic haemolytic anaemias. The physical characteristics of this human virus have suggested that it may be a member of the Parvoviridae. We report here that extraction of nucleic acid from this virus under annealing conditions yielded a single species of double-stranded DNA 5.5 kb in length. Treatment with heat or alkali converted this DNA into a rapidly migrating form sensitive to the single-strand-specific nuclease S1. Extraction of the virion DNA under conditions of low ionic strength where annealing would not be expected to occur yielded DNA which comigrated with the 5.5 kb single-stranded molecule. The results indicate that this virus packages equal numbers of complementary DNA strands into separate virions. It is suggested that this virus can be classified as a member of the genus parvovirus.
