We show that bacteriophage T4 has two alternative mechanisms to initiate DNA replication; one dependent on Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6), and one dependent on general recombination. Continued DNA synthesis under recombination-defective conditions was sensitive to rifampin, an inhibitor of RNA polymerase. On the other hand, DNA synthesis accelerated in spite of the present of rifampin if recombination occurred.
我们发现噬菌体T4有两种启动DNA复制的替代机制;一种依赖于大肠杆菌RNA聚合酶(RNA核苷酸转移酶,EC 2.7.7.6),另一种依赖于一般重组。在重组缺陷条件下持续的DNA合成对RNA聚合酶抑制剂利福平敏感。另一方面,如果发生重组,尽管存在利福平,DNA合成仍会加速。
