Abstract excerpt
The RepA protein of plasmid R1 is rate-limiting for initiation of R1 replication. Its synthesis is mainly regulated by interactions of the antisense RNA, CopA, with the leader region of the RepA mRNA, CopT. This work describes the characterization of several mutants with sequence alterations in the intergenic region between the copA gene and the repA reading frame. The analysis showed that most of the mutations...
