The T-antigen-binding domain of the simian virus 40 core origin of replication.

The simian virus 40 origin of replication contains a 27-base-pair palindrome with the sequence 5'-CA-GAGGC-C-GAGGC-G-GCCTC-G-GCCTC-TG-3'. The four 5'-GAGGC-3'/5'-GCCTC-3' pentanucleotides are known contact sites for simian virus 40 T-antigen binding in vitro. We used ol...
