Analysis of the Epstein-Barr virus origin of plasmid replication (oriP) reveals an area of nucleosome sparing that spans the 3' dyad.
The Epstein-Barr virus oriP, when examined with the use of in vitro nucleosome reconstitution, was found to exhibit a partial sparing of nucleosome assembly within the 3' dyad. Analysis of the homologous region containing the origin of replication of herpesvirus papio disclosed that sparing of nucleosome assembly was conserved between these two related viruses.
