Abstract excerpt
The kilB locus (which is unclonable in the absence of korB) of broad-host-range plasmid RK2 (60 kb) lies between the trfA operon (co-ordinates 16.4 to 18.2 kb), which encodes a protein essential for vegetative replication, and the Tra2 block of conjugative transfer genes (co-ordinates 20.0 to 27.0 kb). Promoter probe studies indicated that kilB is transcribed clockwise from a region containing closely spaced...
