The document discusses the replication processes of various DNA viruses, including parvovirus, polyomavirus, adenovirus, herpes viruses, and poxvirus. It outlines the necessary viral and cellular enzymes involved in these processes, emphasizing the role of DNA polymerases, helicases, and various gene products in viral DNA synthesis, assembly, and gene expression. Each virus showcases unique characteristics regarding their DNA structure and replication mechanisms within host cells.

3. Several virus-coded enzyme activities are generally required
for the replication of viral DNA
 Helicase (with ATPase activity) to unwind the double
helix
 helix-destabilizing protein to keep the two separated
strands apart
 DNA polymerase to copy each strand from the origin of
replication
 RNAse to degrade the RNA primer after it has served its
purpose
 DNA ligase to join the Okazaki fragments together

Papovavirus genome, with its associated
cellular histones, morphologically and
functionally resembles cellular DNA and utilizes
host cell enzymes, including DNA polymerase A
for its replication.
An early viral protein, large-T, binds to sites in the
regulatory sequence of the viral genome, thereby
initiating DNA replication. Replication of this circular
double-stranded DNA commences from a unique
palindromic sequence and proceeds simultaneously
in both directions

6.  Adenovirus DNA is linear, with the 5' end of each strand
being a mirror image of the other (terminally repeated
inverted sequences)
 Each is linked covalently to a protein, the precursor of
which serves as the primer for viral DNA synthesis.
 DNA replication proceeds from both ends, continuously
but asynchronously in a 5' --~ 3' direction, using a virus-
coded DNA polymerase.
 It does not require the synthesis of Okazaki fragments
