Abstract excerpt
The replication frequency of IncFII plasmids is regulated through the availability of a rate-limiting protein, RepA. The synthesis of this protein is controlled post-transcriptionally by a small antisense RNA, CopA, which binds to the leader region of the RepA mRNA (CopT). In this communication we report studies of the IncFII plasmid R1. We show that the duplex between CopA and CopT is cleaved specifically in...
