Nucleotide Sequences of the Noncoding Regions of Prototype Laboratory Strains (PTA, RA, and LID) and New Isolates of Polyoma Viruses (MB, Z1, Z2, H, N, D, C, and S)

The sequences cover the region from the translation start site for Vp2 on the late side (nucleotide 5002; NCBI accession number J02288 for polyomavirus strain A2) to the translation start site of the T antigens on the early side (nucleotide 177 in A2). The ori-core sequence (nucleotides 5276–44); [42] is boxed. marks nucleotide 1 in A2. Two PvuII sites (nucleotides 5130–5135 and 5267–5272 in A2) and one BglI site (nucleotides 89–99 in A2) are shaded for reference. All sequences are compared with PTA, which has a 40–base pair duplication on the early side of the replication origin (nucleotides 71–110 in A2, not duplicated). Variations from the PTA sequence are shown in red. (28 KB PDF)
