Abstract excerpt
Many organisms control initiation of DNA replication by limiting supply or activity of initiator proteins. In plasmids, such as P1, initiators are limited primarily by transcription and dimerization. However, the relevance of initiator limitation to plasmid copy number control has appeared doubtful, because initiator oversupply increases the copy number only marginally. Copy number control instead has been...
