Structure of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPP1 DNA in relation to its transfection activity.

RESUMO
The availability of a detailed restriction map of SPP1 DNA allowed defined manipulations of such molecules. These were performed to investigate structural requirements for SPP1 transfection. (i) The transfection activity of SPP1 DNA was destroyed by degradation with restriction enzymes. Biological activity could be regenerated when transfection was performed with a combination of two different restriction endonuclease digests, provided that such digests generated widely overlapping DNA fragments. (ii) Unique DNA molecules were constructed from the natural population of circularly permuted SPP1 DNA molecules by using genetic engineering techniques. Such molecules had the same specific transfection activity as did the circularly permuted SPP1 DNA. These results are discussed in the context of current models of DNA processing in transfection.
