Abstract excerpt
Replication of mini-F plasmid in Escherichia coli requires the plasmid-encoded RepE initiator protein and a number of host factors and is regulated by interaction of RepE with specific sequences near the replication origin, ori2. We have examined DNA binding properties of several hyperactive mutant RepE proteins with single amino acid substitutions. Plasmids carrying these (repE) mutations, unlike the parental...
