Abstract excerpt
Plasmid pEP2 was found to encode a protein, RepA, which is essential and rate limiting for its replication in Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Mutations which altered the rate of synthesis of this protein in E. coli affected the copy number and segregational stability of pEP2 in the two hosts. RepA contains 483 amino acid residues and has the calculated molecular weight of 53,925. It shows...
