Abstract excerpt
The minimal replication origin of the broad-host-range plasmid RK2, oriV, contains five iterons which are binding sites for the plasmid-encoded replication initiation protein TrfA, four DnaA boxes, which bind the host DnaA protein, and an AT-rich region containing four 13-mer sequences. In this study, 26 mutants with altered sequence and/or spacing of 13-mer motifs have been constructed and analysed for...
