✦ Synopsis

The promoters on ColE1 plasmid DNA have been localized. Their position has been determined relative to the functional map of the plasmid. The direction of transcription from each promoter has been established. Superhelical ColE1 DNA was transcribed in vitro by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. The resulting complexes of DNA with nascent RNA were treated with restriction endonucleases EcoR1 and SmaI and observed in an electron microscope.

Statistical analysis of RNA distribution on DNA made it possible to localize the promoters and determine the direction of transcription from them. The analysis was based on a specially prepared computer program.

A mutant of a derivative of the colicin E1 plasmid has been isolated that does not confer immunity to colicin E1 on its host (imm-) although it is still capable of producing colicin (col+). Cells carrying the col+, imm- plasmid are capable of forming colonies and grow best in liquid culture in the p

The replication of the ColEl plasmid was studied in extracts from E. coli dnaG mutants. It was found that the synthesis of the complementary strands of ColEl DNA can be carried out in these extracts in two consecutive steps: (1) synthesis of the leading L strand independent of the dnaG function, and

The terminator position of T7 early messenger RNA was determined by electron microscopic measurements. The end of the RNA was mapped at a position 18.9% from the left end of T7 DNA, and 145 +/- 25 nucleotides from the right end of the Hpa I fragment Q. The sequence of the Hpa I Q fragment was determ
