The origin of replication of the broad host-range plasmid R1162 contains two, oppositely facing initiation sites for DNA synthesis. Either of these sites can be deleted from an R1162 plasmid derivative. However, the resulting plasmids are unstable, maintained at a lower copy-number in the cell, and form dimers and other recombinants that are required for propagation of the plasmid.In vitro, a derivative lacking one initiation site is deficient in synthesis of the strand normally initiated from that site. The properties of the intact origin are restored if it contains two oppositely facing sites; one initiation site may substitute for the other, and each site need not be in its original orientation. Overall, the results suggest that synthesis of each strand of R1162 DNA is initiated at a single site, and that there is no efficient system for initiation of lagging strand synthesis during transit of the replication forks.
