Phage G4 origin of complementary DNA strand synthesis (oric) consists of three stable stem-loop structures (I, II, and III). Mutant oric sequences with alterations in the structure of stem-loop II, stem-loop III, and the stem-loop II-III spacer region have been constructed and cloned into the filamentous phage vectors to assay their functional activity. Changes in the lowermost GC base pair in the stem of stem-loop III, in the 9-bp spacer region between the stems of stem-loops II and III, and in the loop of stem-loop II, impair or abolish in vivo oric function. The results suggest that recognition sequences for dnaG primase must be present in the loop of stem-loop II, and in the spacer region between the stems of stem-loops II and III.

D002021 Buffers A chemical system that functions to control the levels of specific ions in solution. When the level of hydrogen ion in solution is controlled the system is called a pH buffer. Buffer
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
