Abstract excerpt
Second-site mutations that allow stable inheritance of partition-defective pSC101 plasmids mapped to seven distinct sites in the 5' half of the plasmid repA gene. While the mutations also elevated pSC101 copy number, there was no correlation between copy number increase and plasmid stability. Combinations of mutations enabled pSC101 DNA replication in the absence of integration host factor and also stabilized...
