Initiation and velocity of chromosome replication in Escherichia coli B/r and K-12.
The macromolecular composition and a number of parameters affecting chromosome replication were examined over a range of exponential growth rates in two common Escherichia coli strains, B/r and K-12 AB1157. Based on improved measurements of DNA after treatment of exponential cultures with rifampin, the cell mass per chromosomal replication origin (initiation mass) and the time required to repli...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of the origin of replication of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome.
The origin of replication, oriC, of the Escherichia coli chromosome was mapped within a DNA segment of 422 base pairs. The nucleotide sequence of this segment was determined. The source of DNA for the sequence analysis was a minichromosome constructed in vivo, consisting exclusively of chromosomal DNA and a minichromosome constructed by cloning in vitro. The nucleotide sequence of the replicati...
متن کاملNonrandom F-plasmid replication in Escherichia coli K-12.
Both the autonomous and chromosomally integrated F plasmids were found to replicate in a nonrandom fashion after a density transfer from heavy medium ([13C]glucose, 15NH4) to light medium ([12C]glucose, 14NH4). The data are consistent with the hypothesis that both the chromosome and the F plasmid are replicated in a cell cycle-specific manner. Thus, these data support the proposal (J. D. Keasli...
متن کاملInhibition and restart of initiation of chromosome replication: effects on exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells.
Escherichia coli strains in which initiation of chromosome replication could be specifically blocked while other cellular processes continued uninhibited were constructed. Inhibition of replication resulted in a reduced growth rate and in inhibition of cell division after a time period roughly corresponding to the sum of the lengths of the C and D periods. The division inhibition was not mediat...
متن کاملStreptomyces and Escherichia coli, model organisms for the analysis of the initiation of bacterial chromosome replication.
Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and Escherichia coli are quite different in their life-style and the structures of their genomes. Streptomyces exhibit complex multicellular development including formation of multigenomic hyphae during growth. These organisms possess a large linear (8.7 Mb) and GC-rich (approximately 72%) chromosome. The genome sequence of S. coelicolor has just been completed. Th...
