Abstract excerpt
Replication of the IncI alpha plasmid ColIb-P9 requires the repZ gene, which encodes an essential, unstable initiator protein termed RepZ. Although many functional features of the ColIb-P9 replicon resemble those of structurally unrelated IncFII plasmids R1 and NR1, the role of transcription of repZ towards the replication origin is poorly understood. Using a series of deletion and substitution mutants of the...
