Mode of replication of plasmid lambda-dv-1.

K Matsubara, T Mukai

    Journal of Biochemistry
    |February 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study reveals that plasmid lambda-dv DNA replication in Escherichia coli K12 is a random process, with each plasmid copy capable of replicating once per cell generation. Protein synthesis is not required for initiating new rounds of plasmid replication.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Microbiology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Plasmid lambda-dv is maintained at approximately 20 copies per host chromosome in Escherichia coli K12.
    • Understanding plasmid DNA replication is crucial for genetic engineering and microbial genetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the DNA replication mechanism of plasmid lambda-dv in Escherichia coli K12.
    • To determine the replication frequency and regulation of plasmid lambda-dv.

    Main Methods:

    • Density-labelling technique.
    • Cesium chloride (CsCl) density gradient centrifugation.
    • Analysis of plasmid DNA replication patterns in Escherichia coli K12.

    Main Results:

    • Plasmid lambda-dv copies replicate approximately once per cell generation.
    • Replication follows a random model: a plasmid copy is randomly selected for replication from a pool.
    • Initiation of new replication rounds is independent of protein synthesis, as chloramphenicol treatment did not inhibit it.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasmid lambda-dv replication in E. coli K12 is a random, potentially once-per-generation process.
    • The initiation of plasmid replication does not necessitate de novo protein synthesis.
    • These findings contribute to the understanding of extrachromosomal DNA replication control in bacteria.
