Abstract excerpt
F plasmid DNA transfer (tra) gene expression in Escherichia coli is regulated by chromosome- and F-encoded gene products. To study the relationship among these regulatory factors, we constructed low-copy plasmids containing a phi(traY'-'lacZ)hyb gene that couples beta-galactosidase and Lac permease synthesis to the F plasmid traY promoter. Wild-type transformants maintained high levels of beta-galactosidase over...
