RESUMO
The avian retrovirus pp32 DNA endonuclease prefers to nick supercoiled DNA containing long terminal repeat (LTR) circle junction sequences at one or the other of two sites, each which mapped two nucleotides back from the circle junction. The sequence at the sites of nicking was (sequence: see text) where increases indicates the positions of the two alternative nicked sites. This site-specific nicking was observed when the circle junction LTR DNA was present in supercoiled form, the divalent metal ion was Mg2+ and the molar ratio of protein to DNA was low. The majority of other LTR DNA sites nicked by pp32 in the presence of Mg2+ were adjacent to or within the dinucleotide CA.
