| مستخلص: | The imprint at the mat1 locus of Schizosaccharomyces pombe acts to initiate the replication-coupled recombination event that underlies mating-type switching. However, the nature of the imprint has been an area of dispute. Two alternative models have been proposed: one stated that the imprint is a nick in the DNA, whereas our data suggested that it consists of one or two ribonucleotides incorporated into the otherwise intact DNA duplex. Here, we verify key predictions of the RNA model by characterization of wild-type genomic DNA purified under conditions known to hydrolyse DNA–RNA–DNA hybrid strands. First, we observe one-nucleotide gap at the hydrolysed DNA, as expected from the presence of two ribonucleotides. Second, using a novel assay based on ligation-mediated PCR, a 3′-terminal ribonucleotide is detected at the hydrolysed imprint. Our observations allow the unification of available data sets characterizing the wild-type imprint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
