Abstract

We have identified and purified to near homogeneity two specific single-stranded DNA-binding factors (SPSF I and II) with molecular masses of 42 and 39 kDa, respectively, from calf thymus. Gel retention analysis and competition experiments demonstrate that the ubiquitous proteins SPSF I and II specifically interact with single-stranded DNA derived from the minimal in vitro origin of replication of bovine papillomavirus type 1 and a region of the viral genome proposed to be involved in plasmid maintenance. Bovine papillomavirus type 1 proteins do not interfere with DNA binding of SPSF I and II. The exact location of the binding domains of SPSF I and II on the DNA has been determined by methylation interference and T4 DNA polymerase footprinting. A potential cellular binding site for SPSF I and II is the major promoter (P2) of the human c-myc gene.
