Origin and Direction of Replication of Bacteriophage 186 DNA

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Intracellular bacteriophage 186 DNA replicates as a single-branched circle during the first round of replication. The free end of the branch is located at a unique position with respect to phage 186 DNA base sequence, and this point should, therefore, correspond to the origin of DNA replication. The position of the growing point has been mapped at various degrees of replication, and found to move unidirectionally from left to right with respect to the denaturation map of phage 186 DNA.
