Direct Restart of a Replication Fork Stalled by a Head-On RNA Polymerase

The fate of the replisome following a collision with a head-on RNA polymerase (RNAP) is unknown. We find that the replisome stalls upon collision with a head-on RNAP, but resumes elongation after displacing the RNAP from DNA. Mfd promotes replication restart by facilitating displacement of the RNAP after the collision.

Begin with a suspension of avian pathogenic E. coli or APEC in growth media.APEC is a Gram-negative bacterium that infects poultry by entering through the respiratory tract.After breaching the mucosal layer, APEC adhere to epithelial cells, multiply locally, and disrupt the epithelial barrier to enter the bloodstream. The bacteria then spread to multiple organs, causing systemic infection.Add an equal volume of the bacterial suspension to each well of a multi-well plate containing increasing...

FAQs
As crystallization proceeds, the forming solid releases latent heat, which is energy associated with the phase change. That released energy temporarily compensates for heat being removed from the mixture, so the measured temperature changes little even while solidification continues. The plateau therefore records active crystallization rather than a pause in the transformation itself.
The halt occurs at the eutectic point, where the mixture has a particular component composition and reaches a specific temperature for joint solidification. Consequently, the observed plateau reflects both thermal conditions and mixture composition. Comparing cooling behavior with the expected eutectic condition helps relate a temperature signal to the phase behavior of the components.
Ordinary cooling generally appears as continuing temperature decline, whereas a eutectic halt produces a temporary plateau or arrest in that curve. The plateau signals that crystallization is releasing enough latent heat to offset ongoing heat removal. Its interpretation helps distinguish a phase transition from simple cooling and supports identification of eutectic behavior in thermal analysis.
A mixture is cooled while its temperature is followed over time, and the resulting values are represented as a cooling curve. Investigators look for a temporary temperature arrest and relate it to the onset and progress of crystallization. The halt lasts until the liquid phase is largely converted into the solid eutectic mixture.
Recognizing the arrest identifies the stage at which eutectic crystallization is occurring, which is important when controlling how a mixture changes from liquid to solid. This information supports controlled crystallization and helps interpret processing conditions in freeze-drying. The same phase-transition understanding is relevant to cryopreservation and materials processing.
The end of the plateau indicates that the latent-heat release associated with the main eutectic crystallization is no longer maintaining a nearly constant temperature. Because the liquid phase is then largely transformed into a solid eutectic mixture, the cooling curve can be interpreted in relation to the progress and completion of that phase change.
