The similarity between circovirus and nanovirus ori sequences shows that the ori was conserved after it was transferred from a plant to a vertebrate, but the ori sequence does not code for a protein. This conservation can be explained only if the ori maintained its function as a nucleotide sequence. Rep specifically binds, cleaves, and ligates DNA at conserved sequences within the ori (18, 35, 38, 39); hence, the conservation of ori indicates that some or all of these activities were maintained.
