Mechanism of DNA Interaction and Translocation by the Replicase of a Circular Rep-Encoding Single-Stranded DNA Virus

ABSTRACT Circular Rep-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses infect members from all three domains of life (Archaea, Prokarya, and Eukarya). The replicase (Rep) from these viruses is responsible for initiating rolling circle replication (RCR) of their genomes. Rep is a multifunctional enzy...
