Article Synopsis
- The thermo-sensitive ribonucleotide reductase RNR101 in E. coli, associated with the nrdA101 allele, shows a prolonged thermo-resistant period at 42°C, leading to a 45% increase in DNA content.
- Impaired fork progression in the nrdA101 mutant suggests that fewer replication rounds and a drop in the oriC/terC ratio at 30°C may improve thermo-resistance by avoiding detrimental effects on cell division and viability at higher temperatures.
- The findings indicate that the relationship between replication initiation frequency and fork progression is critical for efficient cell cycle regulation, potentially impacting replication processes in various systems.
