Abstract excerpt
A subset of Escherichia coli heat shock proteins, DnaJ, DnaK, and GrpE, is required for mini-F plasmid replication, presumably at the step of functioning of the RepE initiator protein. We have isolated and characterized mini-F plasmid mutants that acquired the ability to replicate in the Escheric...
