Abstract excerpt
The thermo-resistant period of the thermo-sensitive ribonucleotide reductase RNR101 encoded by the nrdA101 allele in Escherichia coli is prolonged for 50 min at 42°C, enabling an increase in DNA content of about 45%. Assuming that fork progression in the nrdA101 mutant is impaired, the question whether reduced number of ongoing replication rounds altered the thermo-resistant period in this strain was...
