Abstract
The conversion of both parental- and progeny-nascent open circular M13 RF DNA into covalently closed RF I is drastically reduced in an E. coli mutant deficient in the 5′ → 3′ exonuclease associated with DNA polymerase I. The nascent progeny RF DNA also contains a significant proportion of fragments of smaller than unit length.
