Nascent short DNA chains isolated from T4-infected E. coli under a variety of conditions anneal equally to the separated complementary phage DNA strands. The samples examined include: pulse-labeled short chains isolated by alkaline sucrose gradient sedimentation from the T4D (wild type)-infected cells in both the early and late stages of phage DNA synthesis; nascent chains accumulated during ligase inhibition of T4 ts B20-infected cells; and the single-stranded nascent short chains isolated from T4D-infected cells by mild procedures involving no denaturation treatment. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that both strands of DNA are synthesized discontinuously.
在各种条件下从T4感染的大肠杆菌中分离出的新生短DNA链,与分离的互补噬菌体DNA链的退火情况相同。所检测的样本包括:通过碱性蔗糖梯度沉降从噬菌体DNA合成早期和晚期的T4D(野生型)感染细胞中分离出的脉冲标记短链;T4 ts B20感染细胞在连接酶抑制期间积累的新生链;以及通过不涉及变性处理的温和程序从T4D感染细胞中分离出的单链新生短链。结果与DNA的两条链都是不连续合成的假说一致。
