The kilA operon of promiscuous plasmid RK2: the use of a transducing phage (lambda pklaA-1) to determine the effects of the lethal klaA gene on Escherichia coli cells.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1991

Saltman L H, Kim K S, Figurski D H

Abstract excerpt

The kil-kor regulon of promiscuous plasmid RK2 includes the replication initiator gene trfA and several potentially host-lethal kil loci (kilA, kilB, kilC, kilE), whose functions may be involved in plasmid maintenance or broad host range. The kilA locus consists of a single operon of three genes (klaA, klaB, klaC), each of which is lethal when expressed from the klaA promoter in the absence of repressors encoded...
