Abstract excerpt
Integration host factor (IHF) binds to two sites near the origin of transfer of the conjugative antibiotic resistance plasmid, R100. DNase I footprinting shows that one site is immediately adjacent to oriT and the gene X promoter, and another is adjacent to the traM promoter. A third site, known only from retardation gels, is near the traJ promoter. The relative promoter activities of genes X, traJ and traM are...
