The structural gene for alkaline phosphatase, when injected by an Hfr into a constitutive recipient, does not function extensively. After an initial spurt, phosphatase synthesis suffers an eclipse and is not resumed until theP+gene is integrated into the recipient's chromosome. The time-course of genetic recombination was investigated by following the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase in crosses between allelic phosphatase-negative mutants. The appearance of PP+recombinant nuclei in such crosses is paralleled by an increase in the differential rate of enzyme synthesis. Functional recombinants arise 30 to 40 minutes after the entry of the HfrPgene and multiply exponentially from the time they originate. The kinetics of recombination are unrelated to the generation time of the F−. In a recipient carrying a thermosensitive mutation which blocks DNA replication at 42 °C, recombination occurs in the absence of DNA replication. Interference with DNA replication, in fact, greatly enhances the rate of recombination.
