Replicating forms of the R plasmid pRR12 and the colicin E1 plasmid RSF2124 were isolated from Proteus mirabilis after growth in medium containing a limiting concentration of thymine. Both plasmids were replicated as partially supercoiled intermediates, which have densities between the values of covalently closed circular and nicked circular plasmid DNA in ethidium bromide-cesium chloride gradients. In addition, both plasmids had replication intermediates, which have densities lower than that of linear P. mirabilis chromosomal DNA. Some structural features of these replication intermediates were examined.
在含有极限浓度胸腺嘧啶的培养基中培养后,从奇异变形杆菌中分离出R质粒pRR12和大肠杆菌素E1质粒RSF2124的复制形式。两种质粒均以部分超螺旋中间体的形式复制,在溴化乙锭-氯化铯梯度中,其密度介于共价闭合环状和切口环状质粒DNA的值之间。此外,两种质粒都有复制中间体,其密度低于奇异变形杆菌线性染色体DNA的密度。对这些复制中间体的一些结构特征进行了研究。
