Abstract:
:When propagated on arl strains (a subclass of Escherichia coli hyper-rec mutants), lambda "Red-" duplication phages accumulated an enhanced potential for recombination. The physical properties of the recombinogenic phages thus obtained ("Arl-" phages) were similar to those of phages grown on arl+ bacteria. However, Arl- phage DNA was cleaved by endonuclease S1 under conditions such that the nuclease is specific for single-stranded DNA;DNA from control phages was S1-resistant. The number of S1 sites (defined by the apparent decrease in single-strand molecular weight) reached a maximum (seven to nine sites per strand of lambda DNA) after five or six rounds of growth on arl bacteria. Similarly, the recombinogenicity of Arl- phages reached a limiting value (recombination frequency, 15%) that was 5 times that of Arl+ phages. Recombinogenicity and S1 susceptibility were accumulated concomitantly during growth on arl+ bacteria. If all increased recombination occurred at the S1 sites, then these regions (about 40 bases each) were about 300 times as recombinogenic as normal DNA regions of the same size, and 1.5 times as recombinogenic as UV-induced lesions. Chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA (pBR322) from arl cells were more susceptible to nuclease S1 than was DNA from arl+ bacteria. Analysis of the cleavage products suggests that the S1 sites on Arl- lambda phage DNA are located randomly.
