Abstract excerpt
We have carried out a detailed genetic analysis of the P1 plasmid replication origin and shown that it has four major structural requirements: the DnaA box, a series of five 7-base pair (bp) repeats, a GC-rich spacer and five 19-bp repeats that bind the P1 RepA protein. The origin requires the DnaA protein and its recognition sequence (the DnaA box). However, although five boxes are present in two separate blocks...
