The nucleotide sequence of the right-hand terminal SmaI-K fragment of adenovirus type 2 DNA.
The primary structure of the SmaI-K fragment of adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) DNA has been determined. This region includes one of the origins of DNA replication (Winnacker, 1978; Sussenbach and Kuijk, 1978). A leader sequence for an early mRNA in region 4 (Berk and Sharp, 1977; 1978) has also been mapped in this region. The comparison of the primary structure of this region in Ad2 DNA with the corresponding region in Ad5 DNA shows a remarkable homology which may be significant in view of the fact that Ad2 and Ad5 DNAs can interchangeably function in the in vitro replication system of Challberg and Kelly (1979).
