Plasmid-encoded initiation protein is required for activity at all three origins of plasmid R6K DNA replication in vitro
Abstract
DNA replication of plasmid R6K initiates at three unique sites, ori alpha, ori beta, and ori gamma. Replicating DNA molecules of a deletion derivative of R6K were synthesized in an in vitro system containing pi protein fraction from cells carrying a mini-R6K derivative that produced only this initiation protein as an R6K-encoded protein and analyzed by electron miscroscopy. Requirement of pi protein for the activity of all these three replication origins in vitro was verified. Frequencies of initiation at the three origins were almost equal.
