 | | OriP is somewhat misnamed, because it is really two distinct genetic components that are almost 1 kb apart, called FR and DS, only one of which supports replication directly. |
 | | Circumstantial evidence indicates that replication at oriP is governed by "licensing" and "delicensing", the cellular mechanisms that limit chromosomal replication to one round per S phase, suggesting that initiation at oriP involves some or all of the factors and mechanisms that are expected to govern initiation of replication on human chromosomes (Yates and Guan, 1991). |
 | | Studies in the laboratory of Carl Schildkraut have shown that replication initiates well away from oriP on most copies of the EBV chromosome most of the time, in at least one large zone that resembles the delocalized initiation that is typical of certain mammalian chromsomal loci. |
