The Bacillus Subtilis genome: replication-order and map-position discrepancies--evidence for a second origin.
نویسنده
چکیده
Replication order to map position discrepancies have been documented in B. subtilis. The discrepancies were found to occur whenever the genome of B. subtilis was replicated under a variety of physiological conditions and in both 168 and W23 strains. The earliest replicating marker involved in these discrepancies was thr versus purB and aroA versus recA. A detailed linkage analysis of the ura to argA region was consistent with its being a continuous linkage group. This led to the conclusion that an origin for new starts at replication exists between recA and aroA.

The Essential Role of the 3′ Terminal Template Base in the First Steps of Protein-Primed DNA Replication
Bacteriophages ϕ29 and Nf from Bacillus subtilis start replication of their linear genomes at both ends using a protein-primed mechanism by means of which the DNA polymerase initiates replication by adding dAMP to the terminal protein, this insertion being directed by the second and third 3' terminal thymine of the template strand, respectively. In this work, we have obtained evidences about th...

influences are negligible, and that the changing environment and the nature of the gene product primarily determine those genes which evolve most rapidly. On the other hand, map position influences on evolutionary rate could be of such great importance that they provide selection pressure for map rearrangement. Because the genome of Bacillus subtilis is replicated in sequential order from one e...
متن کاملGenetic and physical maps of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome.
Sequencing of the complete Bacillus subtilis chromosome revealed the presence of approximately 4100 genes, 1000 of which were previously identified and mapped by classical genetic crosses. Comparison of these experimentally determined positions to those derived from the nucleotide sequence showed discrepancies reaching up to 24 degrees (approximately 280 kb). The size of these discrepancies as ...
متن کاملMutational bias suggests that replication termination occurs near the dif site, not at Ter sites.
In bacteria, Ter sites bound to Tus/Rtp proteins halt replication forks moving only in one direction, providing a convenient mechanism to terminate them once the chromosome had been replicated. Considering the importance of replication termination and its position as a checkpoint in cell division, the accumulated knowledge on these systems has not dispelled fundamental questions regarding its r...
متن کاملOverreplication of the origin region in the dnaB37 mutant of Bacillus subtilis: postinitiation control of chromosomal replication.
When the Bacillus subtilis dnaB37 mutant, defective in initiation, is returned to permissive temperature after accumulation of initiation proteins at 45 degrees C, we have shown, by extensive DNA.DNA hybridization analysis, that the origin region is replicated in excess (approximately 2-fold). However, this replication is limited to a region of about 120-175 kilobases on either side of the orig...
