Abstract excerpt
RepA protein, encoded in the Pseudomonas pPS10 replicon, is a stable dimer in solution (dRepA), acting as a self-repressor of repA transcription through binding to an inverted repeat operator. However, RepA monomers (mRepA) are required to initiate plasmid replication upon binding to four directly repeated DNA sequences (iterons). RepA is composed of two winged-helix (WH) domains: C-terminal WH2 is the main...
