Abstract excerpt
A key feature of the copy control in the 2 micron circle plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is its ability to amplify when the copy number drops below the steady state value. The Flp protein encoded by the plasmid is an essential component of the amplification mechanism. A central regulatory event in amplification involves the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of Tyr-343 of Flp. Tyrosine phosphorylation is...
