Identifies the origin of replication in colicin E1 plasmid DNA, indicating its importance in bacterial genetics.

The research aims to determine the origin of replication for colicin E1 plasmid DNA and its derivative.
Cleavage maps were constructed using restriction endonucleases.
Nucleotide sequence analysis was performed to identify the origin of replication.
DNA fragments were labeled and analyzed through alkali treatment.
The identified origin of replication is characterized by three consecutive nucleotides: dA, dA, and dC.
A segment with five adenine residues is present, leading to the DNA replication initiation.
The surrounding regions of the segment are rich in guanine and cytosine nucleotides.

Tomizawa et al. (1977) studied this question.
