Adenovirus sequence required for replication in vivo

Received February 21, 1985. Revised June 3, 1985. Accepted June 17, 1985.
We have studied the in vivo replication properties of plasmids carrying deletion mutations within cloned adenovirus terminal sequences. Deletion mapping located the adenovirus DNA replication origin entirely within the first 67 bp of the adenovirus inverted terminal repeat. This region could be further subdivided into two functional domains: a minimal replication origin and an adjacent auxiliary region which boosted the efficiency of replication by more than 100-fold. The minimal origin occupies the first 18 to 21 bp and includes sequences conserved between all adenovirus serotypes. The adjacent auxiliary region extends past nucleotide 36 but not past nucleotide 67 and contains the binding site for nuclear factor I.
