Abstract excerpt
The P1 plasmid replication initiator protein, RepA, binds to its own promoter and represses transcription efficiently. There are only about 20 RepA dimers present per repA gene. A possible reason for this highly restrained expression became evident when repA expression was increased by using foreign promoters: with fivefold overexpression, the replication rate was diminished, and with 40-fold overexpression,...
