Abstract:
To search for heretofore unidentified DNA replication termination (Ter) sites on the Escherichia coli chromosome, we screened the entire Kohara lambda bacteriophage library using as probes the four known 22-bp Ter sequences. We found a Ter site, which we named TerE, located at 23.2 min on the linkage map. TerE inhibits only counterclockwise DNA replication. Macroscopically, five Ter sites are located in a periodic arrangement on the genome.
