Abstract excerpt
Certain high copy-number mutants of the ColE1 plasmid produce a primer RNA that, unlike the wild-type, is resistant to inhibition by the plasmid-encoded replication inhibitor RNA I. We show that this resistance is associated with the ability of mutant primer RNA to hybridize to the DNA template strand more efficiently than does the wild-type transcript in vitro. We have isolated two second-site intramolecular...
