Abstract:
:An in vitro system for replication of lambda dv plasmid DNA has been constructed. This system consists of an ammonium sulfate fraction from Escherichia coli extract, exogenously added purified lambda O and P proteins, and lambda dv DNA in closed circular form. More than 85% of the added template DNA replicated semiconservatively. In the same system, another plasmid, pBR322, also replicated, but less efficiently than lambda dv. Furthermore, its replication was independent of O and P proteins. Inhibitors of DNA gyrase entirely blocked the replication activity, whereas rifampicin, an inhibitor of RNA polymerase, showed a significant effect only when added prior to initiation of the DNA replication. DNA replication was initiated from a region near to or within the four direct repeats in lambda origin (lambda ori) and proceeded bidirectionally, as examined by DNA chain elongation termination with dideoxy CTP. A cloned DNA carrying a 350-base-pair region including the initiation site also initiated replication, dependent on O and P proteins, and its initiation occurred at the same position as with native lambda dv DNA. An A + T-rich structure neighboring the repeats was found to be essential for lambda DNA replication. Regions corresponding to ice and oop were not required for O,P-dependent initiation.
