In this paper, we present results of crosses designed to elucidate the structure of recombinants in the tail-fiber region of bacteriophage T4, in which a glucosylation-dependent recombinations mechanism is operative, and the cause of the "special" recombination in glycosylated crosses is discussed. We present evidence that, when phage are nonglycosylated, recombination in the tail-fiber region proceeds via long heteroduplex overlaps. Mismatched bases within such regions (in nonglycosylated phage) are repaired efficiently (as contrasted to those of glucosylated phage), but asymmetrically; that is, there may be an equal probability of resolving the mismatch to mutant or wild type.
在本文中,我们展示了为阐明噬菌体T4尾丝区域重组体结构而设计的杂交实验结果,其中一种糖基化依赖性重组机制起作用,并讨论了糖基化杂交中“特殊”重组的原因。我们提供的证据表明,当噬菌体未糖基化时,尾丝区域的重组通过长异源双链重叠进行。此类区域(未糖基化噬菌体中)内的错配碱基能被高效修复(与糖基化噬菌体的错配碱基形成对比),但修复过程是不对称的;也就是说,将错配碱基解析为突变型或野生型的概率可能相等。
