Deoxyribonucleic acid replication and cell division in Escherichia coli at 33 C.
نویسندگان
چکیده
At 33 C (60-min generation time) the time required to replicate the chromosome is C = 60 min. The time between the end of a round of replication and cell division is D = 20 min, as at 37 C. Nalidixic acid and a temperature shift in a dnaB mutant give identical results for the determination of the end of a round of replication.

Deoxyribonucleic acid-membrane interactions near the origin of replication and initiation of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli.
A previously reported salt-sensitive binding of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to the cell envelope in Escherichia coli, involving approximately one site per chromosome near the origin of DNA replication, is rapidly disrupted in vivo by rifampin or chloramphenicol treatment and by amino acid starvation. DNA replication still initiates with this origin-specific binding disrupted, even when the disr...
متن کاملPattern of meso-dl-2,6-diaminopimelic acid incorporation during the division cycle of Escherichia coli.
The topography of meso-DL-2,6-diaminopimelic acid incorportion into the cell envelope of Escherichia coli W7 (doubling time, tau, = 70 min) has been studied by autoradiography. To follow the incorporation pattern during the division cycle, cells have been classified according to length and the silver grain distributions have been determined in the two cell halves. In particular, the question of...
متن کاملRelation between deoxyribonucleic acid and intracytoplasmic membranes in Escherichia coli O111a.
The possibility of a relationship between intracytoplasmic membranes and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in Escherichia coli O111a(1) has been investigated. To facilitate this investigation, a simple enzymatic assay for the amount of internal membrane present in a culture was developed. This assay was then used to show that the appearance of intracytoplasmic membranes is accompanied by an increase ...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive cell division mutants of Escherichia coli with thermolabile penicillin-binding proteins.
The thermostability of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of 31 temperature-sensitive cell division mutants of Escherichia coli has been examined. Two independent cell division mutants have been found that have highly thermolabile PBP3. Binding of [(14)C]benzylpenicillin to PBP3 (measured in envelopes prepared from cells grown at the permissive temperature) was about 30% of the normal level...
متن کاملLoss of photoreversibility of damage to deoxyribonucleic acid replication in ultraviolet-irradiated Escherichia coli B-r thy trp.
Loss of photoreversibility (LOP) of the ultraviolet (UV) damage which prevents reinitiation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication occurred with incubation of Escherichia coli B/r thy trp cultures after UV doses of 240, 320, and 400 ergs/mm(2). LOP occurred at the time of reinitiation of DNA replication in the cultures (i.e., after postirradiation lag periods of 45 min or more). Neither the...
