Table 2 Mutant oriD inverted complementary repeat (ICR) sequences.

From: oriD structure controls RepD initiation during rolling-circle replication

  1. Mutant oriD oligoduplexes were synthesized and then ligated into the wild type (wt) pCerOriD plasmid to yield three oriD variants mut2, mut3 and mut2/3. The following symbols are used; “:” identical to wt; “|” delimits the three ICRs, bold indicates hairpin stems (see Fig. S3C); shaded regions are the restriction enzyme sites (HindIII and AvaI) used to resect the wild type pCerOriD plasmid so the synthesized oligoduplexes could be inserted and religated.
