Low-molecular-weight DNA replication intermediates in Escherichia coli: mechanism of formation and strand specificity.
Journal of molecular biology - 15 Nov 2013
Amado Luciana, Kuzminov Andrei
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal DNA replication intermediates, revealed in ligase-deficient conditions in vivo, are of low molecular weight (LMW) independently of the organism, suggesting discontinuous replication of both the leading and the lagging DNA strands. Yet, in vitro experiments with purified enzymes replicating sigma-structured substrates show continuous synthesis of the leading DNA strand in complete absence of ligase,...
