Abstract excerpt
Translation of the repZ gene encoding a DNA replication initiation protein of plasmid ColIb-P9 depends on not only the translation of a transcribed leader sequence (repY) but also the specific intergenic base pairing within RepZ mRNA between two short complementary sequences located in the repY a...
