Abstract excerpt

The control of plasmid ColE1 copy number is mediated by the kinetics of interaction of two complementary plasmid-encoded RNAs. One RNA is the primer precursor and the other is a small counter-transcript called RNA I. The interaction of these highly structured RNAs results in inhibition of formati...
