Abstract excerpt
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to study replication of the Tetrahymena thermophila ribosomal DNA (rDNA) minichromosome. During vegetative growth, the rDNA is replicated exclusively from origins in the 5' nontranscribed spacer (NTS). Whereas replication fork movement through the rest of the chromosome appears to be continuous, movement through the 5' NTS is not. Replication forks arrest transiently...
