Analysis of DNA from human adenovirus type 6 with restriction endonucleases HindIII, BglIII and BamHI.
The genome of the type 6 human adenovirus has three restriction sites for R.BamHI, thirteen for R.HindIII and ten for R.BglII. The terminal fragments of DNA cleaved by each of the enzymes have been determined by means of terminal nucleotidyl transferase and by analysis of the DNA-terminal protein complex. The sequence of the cleaved fragments has been determined by partial cleavage of DNA, simultaneous digestion of DNA with various combinations of enzymes and secondary digestion of individual isolated fragments with other enzymes. The following order of the cleaved fragments in the adenovirus type 6 genome has been found (the figures in brackets are the weights in mega-daltons): for R.BamHI-B(7.1)-D(3.0)-C(4.05)-A(8.5); for R.HindIII-F(1.7)-C1(2.14)-A(3.44)-M(0.046)-I(1.24)-J(0.77)-D(2.1)-E(1.96)-B(3.18)-H(1.36)-L(0.18)-C2(2.14)-G(1.44)-K(0.16); for R.BglII-E(2.07)-B(3.58)-A(4.8)-C(3.36)-I(0.78)-D(3.25)-G(1.37)-J(0.21)-F(1.85)-K(0.17)-H(0.94).
