Use of a cis-acting mutation to study the role of FLP-mediated recombination in the maintenance of native yeast 2 micrometer plasmids.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1992

Morrissey J A, Cashmore A M

Abstract excerpt

The 2 micrometer plasmid encodes a mechanism that ensures the partitioning of the plasmid at cell division. Little is known about the detailed mechanism of this partitioning system; for example, is there equal or unequal distribution of the plasmid molecules at mitosis? The plasmid also encodes a...
