  • Title: [Integration of the RP4 factor with the chromosome in Escherichia coli K12 and the formation of 2 types of Hfr-strains].
    Author: Smirnov SP, Danilevich VN, Golub EI.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1979 Jul; (7):30-4. PubMed ID: 382709.
    Abstract:
    The mutant RP4ts12, derived from the R-factor RP4 and thermosensitive in replication, is incorporated into the chromosome A3dna(ts) of E. coli K12, thus suppressing dnaA mutation. The integration of this factor into the chromosome leads to the formation of Hfr strains of two types: the strains of the first type transfer plasmid markers to recipient cells earlier than to chromosomal ones; the strains of the second type transfer plasmid markers to recipient cells after chromosomal ones. During conjugation the R-factor integrated into the chromosome dissociates from chromosomal DNA introduced into the recipient cell and becomes autonomous.
