Abstract excerpt
Plasmid ColE1 has three recognition sites for the Escherichia coli DNA adenine methylase in the immediate upstream region of the primer promoter. Two of these sites are conserved among all plasmid relatives of ColE1 and constitute parts of an inverted repeat that can conceivably form a cruciform structure. Recent experiments have indicated that hemimethylated ColE1-type plasmids are inefficiently replicated after...
