Localisation of mini-Mu in its replication intermediates.
We have located Mu delta 26 sequences straddling the forks in DNA structures which appear during Mu delta 26 replication, i.e., keys, pending keys, dumb- bells , partially fused circles, and asymmetrical forks. This brings additional evidence that these structures are mini-Mu replication intermediates. The possible relationship between these structures and those predicted by the different models formulated to explain transposition in procaryotes is discussed.
