Replication forks are underrepresented in chromosomal DNA of Xenopus laevis embryos.
Gaudette MF, Benbow RM.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Chromosomal DNA was isolated from rapidly dividing cells of Xenopus laevis embryos at blastulation, at gastrulation, and at the beginning of hatching. Few, if any, replication forks were seen by electron microscopy in DNA isolated at any stage of embryogenesis. Instead, unbranched DNA, which appeared to be single-stranded, was abundant at all stages. The percentage of chromosomal DNA that was single-stranded was quantitated by electron microscopy and by monitoring the release of acid-soluble radioactivity during digestion of labeled chromosomal DNA with nucleases specific for single-stranded DNA. The amount of single-stranded DNA was inversely correlated with the length of S phase during embryogenesis. We postulate that chromosomal DNA replication in X. laevis embryos takes place by a mechanism in which strand separation is uncoupled from DNA synthesis.
