The antibiotic bleomycin stimulates deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis in toluene-treated Escherichia coli cells. The increase in synthesis is linear with bleomycin concentration. Bleomycin-stimulated DNA synthesis is independent of replication and dependent on DNA polymerase I. Replication is spared as the DNA polymerase I-dependent DNA synthesis increases. Bleomycin does not appear to have any effect on purified E. coli DNA polymerases I or II. Our results suggest that bleomycin causes nicking of the bacterial chromosome with subsequent DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerase I.
抗生素博来霉素可刺激经甲苯处理的大肠杆菌细胞中的脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)合成。合成量的增加与博来霉素浓度呈线性关系。博来霉素刺激的DNA合成不依赖于复制,而是依赖于DNA聚合酶I。随着依赖于DNA聚合酶I的DNA合成增加,复制过程得以保留。博来霉素似乎对纯化的大肠杆菌DNA聚合酶I或II没有任何影响。我们的结果表明,博来霉素会导致细菌染色体产生切口,随后由DNA聚合酶I催化进行DNA合成。
