Abstract excerpt
The antisense RNA, CopA, regulates the replication frequency of plasmid R1 through inhibition of RepA translation by rapid and specific binding to its target RNA (CopT). The stable CopA-CopT complex is characterized by a four-way junction structure and a side-by-side alignment of two long intramolecular helices. The significance of this structure for binding in vitro and control in vivo was tested by mutations in...
