Abstract excerpt
Replication of the IncB miniplasmid pMU720 requires synthesis of the replication initiator protein, RepA, whose translation is coupled to that of a leader peptide, RepB. The unusual feature of this system is that translational coupling in repBA has to be activated by the formation of a pseudoknot immediately upstream of the repA Shine-Dalgarno sequence. A small antisense RNA, RNAI, controls replication of pMU720...
