Abstract

The repetitive DNA sequences of the genome of Molluscum contagiosum virus type 1 (MCV-1) have been localized within the terminal regions of the viral genome corresponding to the BamHI MCV-1 DNA fragments B (18 kbp; 0 to 0.096 map units (m.u.)) and E (10.5 kbp; 0.944 to 1 m.u.). The fine mapping of these particular regions of the genome of MCV-1 revealed that the boundaries of the terminal repetitive DNA sequences of the viral genome are located within the DNA sequences of the HindIII MCV-1 DNA fragments K (3.8 kbp; 0.014 to 0.036 m.u.) and J1 (4.1 kbp; 0.962 to 0.985 m.u.). The exact position of the boundary of the repetitive DNA sequences was determined by DNA nucleotide sequencing. The HindIII DNA fragments K and J1 compose 3859 and 4107 bp, respectively. The DNA sequences of HindIII MCV-1 DNA fragment K possess repetitive DNA sequences between the nucleotide positions 1 and 1675 which are homologous to the inverted and complementary DNA sequences of the Hin dIII MCV-1 DNA fragment J1 between the nuclotide positions 2437 and 4107 (1670 bp). The degree of DNA sequence homology detected between the repetitive DNA sequences in the HindIII DNA fragments K and J1 of the viral genome was found to be 98%. The number of open reading frames (ORFs) detected by the analysis of the DNA sequences of the HindIII MCV-1 DNA fragments K and J1 was found to be 14 (70 to 219 amino acid residues) and 11 (70 to 365 amino acid residues), respectively.
