Abstract excerpt
In a previous study a functional mycobacterial origin of replication, oriC, was isolated on a plasmid. However, it was found that origin function was inhibited by the presence of the adjacent dnaA gene or its regulatory region, so that plasmids containing both of these regions next to the origin did not yield transformants. This inhibition could be due either to overexpression of dnaA on a plasmid being toxic,...
