Abstract excerpt
The Incl1 conjugative plasmid Collb-P9 carries a psiB gene that prevents induction of the SOS response in host bacteria. This locus is located 2.5 kb downstream of the ssb (single-stranded DNA-binding protein) gene in the leading region. This portion of Collb is strikingly similar to part of the leading region of the otherwise distinct F plasmid. Expression of psiB and ssb is increased when the host cell is...
