[Complementary-addressed elimination of E1a sequence of simian adenovirus oncogene SA7 from circular single-stranded
Abstract:
The G fragment of the simian adenovirus SA7 oncogene corresponding to E1a region was cloned into M13mp8 and M13mp9 phages. Single-stranded DNAs of the recombinant phages thus obtained (mp8G and mp9G) partially digested with DNAse II were used to synthesize polyalkylating derivatives capable of specific hybridisation and subsequent alkylation of complementary G sequences of corresponding phage DNAs. After incubation of complementary alkylated DNA in the presence of lysine, the preselected region (G fragment) was specifically eliminated without damaging vector sequences. The method of complementary-addressed cleavage proved to be useful for precise analysis of reactions of polyalkylating derivatives within complementary complexes.
