Linear chromosomes possessing internal repeats of their terminal sequences can form intramolecular crossed-strand exchanges that allow replication of the chromosome ends. Evidence is discussed that such a mechanism may be utilized during replication of herpes simplex virus DNA and during replication of macronuclear DNA from the hypotrichous ciliate Oxytricha.
拥有末端序列内部重复的线性染色体可以形成分子内交叉链交换,从而实现染色体末端的复制。文中讨论了相关证据,表明这种机制可能在单纯疱疹病毒DNA复制过程以及来自低等多毛纲纤毛虫绿草履虫的大核DNA复制过程中被利用。
