摘要：The synthesis of the bacteriophage G4 negative strand is an example of the de novo initiation of a polynucleotide chain. This initiation is performed by the Escherichia coli replication protein dna G which selects a unique site on 5400-base positive-strand template. In this paper we present the nucleotide sequence of the G4 negative-strand initiation site. This is the template element recognized by the dna G priming protein. In conjunction with the sequence of the nascent negative strand, obtained by Bouche, Rowen, and Kornberg [Bouche, J.-P., Rowen, L. & Kornberg, A. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 765-769], the present data provide a description of a dna G-dependent origin of replication in which one knows the place at which polymerization starts at the nucleotide level.
