The Sinorhizobium meliloti chromosomal origin of replication
Abstract
The predicted chromosomal origin of replication (oriC) from the alfalfa symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti is shown to allow autonomous replication of a normally non-replicating plasmid within S. meliloti cells. This is the first chromosomal replication origin to be experimentally localized in the Rhizobiaceae and its location, adjacent to hemE, is the same as for oriC in Caulobacter crescentus, the only experimentally characterized …
