Abstract
The simian virus 40 chromosome, a model for the mammalian replicon, is a uniquely powerful system for the study of drugs and treatments which target enzymes of the mammalian replication apparatus. High resolution gel electrophoretic analysis of normal and aberrant viral replication intermediates can be used effectively to understand the molecular events of replication failure. These events include breakage of replication forks, aberrant topoisomerase action, failure to separate daughter chromosomes, proteinβDNA crosslinking, single and double strand DNA breakage, alterations in topology and inactivation of replication intermediates. The SV40 replication system can also be used to study the recombinational events which often follow drugβinduced replication failure.

increasing evidence has supported the concept that many of the enzymes and factors involved in the replication of mammalian DNA function together as a multiprotein complex. We have previously reported on the partial purification of a multiprotein form of DNA polymerase from human HeLa cells shown to
We have generated a panel of deletion mutants of ors12 (812-bp), a mammalian origin of DNA replication previously isolated by nascent strand extrusion from early replicating African Green monkey (CV-1) DNA. The deletion mutants were tested for their replication activity in vivo by the bromodeoxyurid
