DNA synthesis of broad host-range plasmid R1162 is initiated from two positions, flanking a large (40 bp stem, 40 bp loop) inverted repeat. Each start-point is located within a highly conserved, but oppositely oriented, 10 base-pair sequence. Synthesis from the two positions converges within the intervening inverted repeat. An analysis of deletions suggests that both start positions must be present for synthesis. A model describing possible early events in replication of plasmid R1162 is presented.
广宿主范围质粒R1162的DNA合成从两个位置起始,这两个位置位于一个大的(40个碱基对的茎,40个碱基对的环)反向重复序列两侧。每个起始点位于一个高度保守但方向相反的10个碱基对序列内。从这两个位置开始的合成在中间的反向重复序列内汇聚。缺失分析表明,两个起始位置对于合成都是必需的。本文提出了一个描述质粒R1162复制中可能早期事件的模型。
