Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli nusG and rho mutants, which are defective in transcription termination, are killed following transformation with several ColE1-like plasmids that lack the plasmid-encoded copy-number regulator gene rom because of uncontrolled plasmid replication within the cells. In this study, a mutation [dnaC1331(A84T)] in the dnaC gene encoding the replicative helicase-loading protein was characterized as a...
