Replication fork trap

TERMINATION OF REPLICATION IN BACTERIA 16.22. What is meant by the term replication fork trap ... [Pg.485]

Termination Eventually, the two replication forks of the circular E. coli chromosome meet at a terminus region containing multiple copies of a 20 bp sequence called Ter (for terminus) (Fig. 25-17a). The Ter sequences are arranged on the chromosome to create a sort of trap that a replication fork can enter but cannot leave. The Ter sequences function as binding sites for a protein called Tus (terminus utilization substance). The Tus-Ter complex can arrest a replication fork from only one direction. Only one Tus-Ter complex functions per replication cycle—the complex first encountered by either... [Pg.962]
