Abstract

To search for heretofore unidentified DNA replication termination (Ter) sites on the Escherichia coli chromosome, we screened the entire Kohara lambda bacteriophage library using as probes the four known 22-bp Ter sequences. We found a Ter site, which we named TerE, located at 23.2 min on the linkage map. TerE inhibits only counterclockwise DNA replication. Macroscopically, five Ter sites are located in a periodic arrangement on the genome.
