We measured in Bacillus subtilis the recombination frequency between directly repeated 9 bp sequences flanking the transposon Tn5. Four different repeats were analyzed. They recombined with frequencies between 10(-7) and 10(-6) when they were carried on plasmids, and 150-1500 times less frequently when they were carried on the chromosome. We propose that this difference is due to the generation of single stranded DNA during plasmid replication.
我们测定了枯草芽孢杆菌中转座子Tn5两侧直接重复的9bp序列之间的重组频率。分析了四种不同的重复序列。当它们存在于质粒上时,重组频率在10^(-7)到10^(-6)之间,而当它们存在于染色体上时,重组频率则低150 - 1500倍。我们认为这种差异是由于质粒复制过程中产生了单链DNA。
