The F plasmid centromere, sopC, is required for full repression of the sopAB operon.

Journal of molecular biology - 16 Jul 1999

Yates P, Lane D, Biek D P

Abstract excerpt

The SopB protein of the F plasmid has a dual role in the partition of F plasmid copies to daughter cells prior to division. It binds to the sopC centromere site to form the partition complex needed for stabilizing the plasmid, and it interacts with SopA to repress transcription of the sopAB operon, thus preventing the destabilization that results from excess SopB. We have isolated sop mutants by screening for...
