Abstract excerpt
Expression of the Rep protein of colicin E2 plasmid is negatively controlled at a post-transcriptional step by a plasmid-coded RNA (RNAI). RNAI is complementary to the 5' nontranslated region of the Rep mRNA and can be folded into two stem-loop structures. Several cop mutations that increased the copy number of the plasmid have been mapped in the RNAI coding region. Here we demonstrated that RNAI and the Rep mRNA...
