An inversion loop seen in heteroduplex mapping of the DNA of mature Mu phage induced from a lysogen is observed also in defective lambda phage carrying one end of Mu. 14% of the DNA of Mu, including this region, designated the G loop, is shown to be to the right of all known genes in the prophage map. The inhomogeneous ends of Mu are observed as a separate phenomenon and appear in all mutants investigated. The recA and recBC functions of the host are not needed for the inversion responsible for the G loop to take place. Deletions of Mu DNA in the G-loop region have been isolated and are under study.
在从溶源菌诱导产生的成熟Mu噬菌体DNA的异源双链图谱中观察到的倒位环,在携带Mu一端的缺陷型λ噬菌体中也能观察到。Mu的14%的DNA,包括这个被称为G环的区域,在原噬菌体图谱中显示位于所有已知基因的右侧。Mu的不均匀末端作为一种单独的现象被观察到,并且出现在所有研究的突变体中。导致G环出现的倒位不需要宿主的recA和recBC功能。已经分离出G环区域的Mu DNA缺失,并正在进行研究。
