Cleavage map of BK virus DNA with restriction endonucleases MboI and HaeIII.
Specific cleavage of BK virus (MM) DNA with restriction endonuclease MboI gives rise to 10 fragments. Two techniques were used to determine the location of these fragments on the viral genome with respect to the three known sites for HindIII cleavage. In the first method, reciprocal digestion, individual MboI fragments were digested with HindIII and individual HindIII fragments were digested with MboI. In the second method, single-end 32P-labeled HindIII subfragments were partially digested with MboI, and then the sizes of the radioactive partial products were used to deduce the nearest neighboring fragment. Information from these two methods is more than adequate to map all the MboI enzyme sites. Cleavage of BK virus (MM) DNA with restriction enzyme HaeIII produces 21 fragments. With the aid of the same two methods, these fragments have also been ordered with respect to the known map locations of the HindIII and MboI sites.
