Differential effect of hydroxyurea on the replication of plasmid and chromosomal DNA in Bacillus subtilis.

A G Shivakumar, D Dubnau.   

Abstract

The replication in Bacillus subtilis of the staphylococcal R plasmids pE194, pBD15, pUB110, pSA0501, and pSA2100 has been studied in the presence of hydroxyurea. In all cases, an enrichment for covalently closed circular DNA compared with chromosomal DNA was observed. In this respect, hydroxyurea mimics the effect previously observed with pUB110, using strains carrying the conditional mutation dnaA13. This mutation has been reported to affect ribonucleotide reductase (G. W. Bazill and D. Karamata, Mol. Gen. Genet. 117:19-29, 1972). An explanation for these effects is offered, together with some supporting evidence.
