A novel type of F' plasmid that can replicate extrachromosomally in cells of Hfr strains has been isolated. Genetic analysis of these plasmids indicates that all carry the dnaA-bglA region of the E. coli chromosome as well as ilv+ used as a selective marker. It is suggested that a specific site, designated poh+ (permissive on Hfr), is located in this region, and is essential for these plasmids to replicate in Hfr cells. The most interesting explanation, among others, would be that the poh+ site represents the replication origin of the bacterial chromosome.
一种新型的F'质粒已被分离出来,它能够在高频重组(Hfr)菌株的细胞中进行染色体外复制。对这些质粒的遗传分析表明,它们都携带大肠杆菌染色体的dnaA - bglA区域以及用作选择标记的ilv+。有人提出,在这个区域存在一个特定的位点,命名为poh+(在Hfr上可许可),它对于这些质粒在Hfr细胞中复制至关重要。其中最有趣的一种解释是,poh+位点代表了细菌染色体的复制起点。
