Mutational bias suggests that replication termination occurs near the dif site, not at Ter sites.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 2007

Hendrickson Heather, Lawrence Jeffrey G

Abstract excerpt

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 role in cell...
