โฆ Synopsis
Illegitimate recombination dependent on D N A gyrase in a cell-free system has previously been described.
We have now mapped DNA gyrase cleavage sites in the vicinity of known recombination sites in pBR322. Among five recombination sites examined, three were found to coincide with a D N A gyrase cleavage site. This result suggests that the cleavage of D N A by DNA gyrase has a central role in the recombination process.

We have previously shown that DNA gyrase of Escherichia coli can promote recombination between heterologous DNAs in a cell-free system (Ikeda et al. 1982). In the present paper, we have studied the nucleotide sequences of several recombination junctions of lambda-pBR322 recombinants and found that t
We analyzed the replication pattern and the topological organization of a 200 kb long Chinese hamster polygenic locus, which spans the boundary of two isochores. One of them is G C rich while the second one is highly A T rich. Previous analysis of mutants ampliยฎed for this locus had identiยฎed, withi
