We establish the following sufficient operator-theoretic condition for a subspace S Ì L2 (mathbbR, dn){S subset L^2 (mathbb{R}, dnu)} to be a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with the Kramer sampling property. If the compression of the unitary group U(t) := e itM generated by the self-adjoint operator M, of multiplication by the independent variable, to S is a semigroup for t ≥ 0, if M has a densely defined, symmetric, simple and regular restriction to S, with deficiency indices (1, 1), and if ν belongs to a suitable large class of Borel measures, then S must be a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with the Kramer sampling property. Furthermore, there is an isometry which acts as multiplication by a measurable function which takes S onto a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions which are analytic in a region containing mathbbR{mathbb{R}} , and are meromorphic in mathbbC{mathbb{C}} . In the process of establishing this result, several new results on the spectra and spectral representations of symmetric operators are proven. It is further observed that there is a large class of de Branges functions E, for which the de Branges spaces H(E) Ì L2(mathbbR, |E(x)|-2dx){mathcal{H}(E) subset L^{2}(mathbb{R}, |E(x)|^{-2}dx)} are examples of subspaces satisfying the conditions of this result.
