Abstract excerpt
Mutations affecting a region of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase have been isolated that specifically reduce the copy number of ColE1-type plasmids. The mutations, which result in a single amino acid alteration (G1161R) or a 41-amino acid deletion (Delta1149-1190) are located near the 3'-terminal region in the rpoC gene, which encodes the largest subunit (beta ') of the RNA polymerase. The rpoC deletion and...
