Approximately 200,000 clones of Escherichia coli carrying mutagen-treated colicinogenic plasmid E1 (ColE1) were examined for irreversible loss of the plasmid at 43 degrees. Thirty of these clones that appeared to be most defective in plasmid DNA replication at the non-permissive temperature were sel
The broad jost range plasmid, RK2, has been isolated as a DNA-protein relaxation complex. Nicking of the plasmid DNA in the relaxation complex occurs at a single specific site (rlx) located approximately 20 kb away from the origin of DNA replication. A cis-acting function required for plasmid transf
Conditions were studied under which aggregated complexes of histone F1 with DNA display a circular dichroic spectrum of nonconservat.ive type characterized by two intense negative maxima a t 269 nm and 209 nm. It was found that the intensity of the longwave band depends directly on the content of gu
