Restriction endonucleases from Providencia stuartii (Pst 1) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H (Bam 1) cleave SV 40 DNA at two and one specific sites, respectively. Using EcoRI and Hind III endonuclease restriction sites as reference, the two Pst I sites were mapped at 0.050; 0.265 and the Bam I site was mapped at 0.170 of the genome length, clockwise, from the single EcoRI cleavage site.

Previous data indicated that Epstein-Barr virus DNA is terminated at both ends by direct or inverted repeats of from 1 to 12 copies of a 3 X 10(5)-dalton sequence. Thus, restriction endonuclease fragments which include either terminus vary in size by 3 X 10(5)-dalton increments (D. Given and E. Kieff, J. Virol. 28:524--542, 1978; S. D. Hayward and E. Kieff, J. Virol. 23:421--429, 1977). Furthermore, defined fragments containing either terminus hybridize to each other (Given and Kieff, J. Virol. 28:524--542, 1978). The 5' ends of the DNA are susceptible to lambda exonuclease digestion (Hayward and Kieff, J. Virol. 23:421--429, 1977). To determine whether the terminal DNA is a direct or inverted repeat, the structures formed after denaturation and reannealing of the DNA from one terminus and after annealing of lambda exonuclease-treated DNA were examined in the electron microscope. The data were as follows. (i) No inverted repeats were detected within the SalI D or EcoRI D terminal fragments of Epstein-Barr virus DNA. The absence of "hairpin- or pan-handle-like" structures in denatured and partially reannealed preparations of the SalI D or EcoRI D fragment and the absence of repetitive hairpin- or pan-handle-like structures in the free 5' tails of DNA treated with lambda exonuclease indicate that there is no inverted repeat within the 3 X 10(5)-dalton terminal reiteration. (ii) Denatured SalI D or EcoRI D fragments reanneal to form circles ranging in size from 3 X 10(5) to 2.5 X 1O(6) daltons, indicating the presence of multiple direct repeats within this terminus. (iii) Lambda exonuclease treatment of the DNA extracted from virus that had accumulated in the extracellular fluid resulted in asynchronous digestion of ends and extensive internal digestion, probably a consequence of nicks and gaps in the DNA. Most full-length molecules, after 5 min of lambda exonuclease digestion, annealed to form circles, indicating that there exists a direct repeat at both ends of the DNA. (iv) The finding of several circularized molecules with small, largely double-strand circles at the juncture of the ends indicates that the direct repeat at both ends is directly repeated within each end. Hybridization between the direct repeats at the termini is likely to be the mechanism by which Epstein-Barr virus DNA circularizes within infected cells (T. Lindahl, A. Adams, G. Bjursell, G. W. Bornkamm, C. Kaschka-Dierich, and U. Jehn, J. Mol. Biol. 102:511-530, 1976).

We have developed a theory to estimate the degree of sequence divergence between related DNAs from the comparison of restriction endonuclease recognition sites. Two major improvements have been made upon a similar method reported by Upholt (1977). First, the most probable value is calculated by the collective use of all available data. This reduces intrinsic statistical error and extends the analyzable range of sequence divergence. Second, all variables are redefined so that they have strict mathematical implications. This corrects a serious error arising from the misinterpretation of the meaning of the fraction of conserved cleavage sites. With this refined method, sequence divergence between rat and mouse mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) was calculated to be about 25% substitutions/nucleotide, which is in good agreement with the DNA-DNA hybridization data obtained by Jakovcic et al. (1975). It was also estimated that the three types of rat mtDNAs differ from one another by 0.3 approximately 1% of total base pairs. These values are 2 approximately 5 times smaller than those obtained with the conventional method.

The region of the phage lambda chromosome containing the attachment site (P.P') and the genes int and xis, excised by the action of endonuclease R.EcoRI, has been inserted into the unique site for that enzyme on the promiscuous conjugative plasmid, RP4, generating the recombinant plasmid RP4att lambda. Transformants containing the hybrid plasmid were recognised by their ability to allow efficient lysogenization by phage lambda b2 (Weil and Signer, 1968; Echols et al., 1968) containing the mutant attachment site delta. P'. The construction and properties of the hybrid plasmid RP4att lambda are described.

Spontaneous tetracycline-sensitive, transfer-deficient mutants of R100-1 were selected and analysed by genetic complementation tests and with the restriction endonuclease EcoR1. While some of the Tets Tra- mutants were caused by a single deletion event which removed the Tetr genes and extended into the neighbouring transfer genes, other mutants were the result of the deletion of the Tetr genes within Tn10 which was accompanied by an inversion of adjacent DNA sequences. A clustering of deletion and inversion endpoints occurred in the traA gene. Some of the transfer genes of R100-1 were assigned to EcoR1 fragments.

Restriction endonucleases EcoRI, BamHI, Hind III and KpnI were used for analysis of acccinia virus DNA. The number and size of restriction endonuclease fragments were determined by gel electrophoresis and the analysis of 3H-labeled vaccinia virus DNA. It was shown that many EcoRI and BamHI fragments had the same and similar sizes. The exact number of EcoRI and BamHI fragments were estimated only after analysis of [3H]-labeled vaccinia DNA. The vaccinia genome sizes calculated from HindIII, KpnI and EcoRI are very close to the actual genome weight. But the sum of BamHI fragments is much lower than those determined by electron microscope method.

Mitotic chromosomes of L cells (metaphase plates) were dehistonized by centrifugation through a layer of 2 M NaCl and then treated with restriction endonuclease EcoRI and HindIII. Alternatively, they were pretreated with EcoRI endonuclease. The DNA remaining attached to the axial structure of the chromosomes was isolated and investigated in renaturation experiments. It was found to be enriched in reiterated base sequences belonging to the satellite and to abundant intermediate repeats.

The organization of alpha globin genes in normal human DNA was examined by restriction endonuclease mapping, alpha globin-specific fragments in endonuclease digests of total cell DNA were identified after electrophoresis by hybridization with [32P]cDNA following the blotting procedure of Southern [(1975) J. Mol. Biol. 98, 503--517]. The data provide direct evidence for the duplication of alpha genes and further indicate that these loci are closely linked within a single restriction fragment. The HindIII sites (codons 90/91) of these duplicated genes lie approximately 3.7 kilobases apart in the physical map proposed for this region. This organization of alpha genes can be altered in DNA of individuals with alpha-thalassemia.

Various molecules generated by transposition of the lactose transposon Tn 951 from plasmid pGC1 to plasmid RP1 were examined by DNA heteroduplex and restriction endonuclease analysis. Tn 951 was found to transpose to at least eight different sites on RP 1 in both possible orientations. A coordinate system for the lactose transposon Tn 951 is constructed.

A restriction endonuclease cleavage map of phage P2 was constructed. The enzymes used and, within parenthesis, the number of their cleavage sites on the P2 lg cc DNA molecule were: AvaI(3), BalI(1), BAMI(3), BglII(3), HaeIII (more than 40; only three were mapped), HindIII(0), HpaI(10), KpnI(3), PstI(3), SalI(2) and SmaI(2). The EcoRI cleavage sites (3), as determined earlier, were used as reference points for this study. The DNAs of a variety of P2 mutants carrying chromosomal aberrations (dell, del2, del3, del6, vir22, vir37(2), vir79 and vir94) were also similarly examined.
