DNA degradation in the terminus region of resolvase mutants of Escherichia coli, and suppression of this degradation and the Dif phenotype by recD.

Biochimie - 1 Feb 2001

Prikryl J, Hendricks E C, Kuempel P L

Abstract excerpt

We recently proposed that guillotining of dimer chromosomes occurs at cell division in resolvase mutants of Escherichia coli. This was based on the abnormal pattern of cell division observed in 10-14% of the cells in microcolonies of xerC, xerD and dif mutants. A prediction of this guillotining is that DNA degradation should occur in the terminus region, in the vicinity of the dif locus. We have tested this by...
