Abstract excerpt
We isolated and characterized mutants of ColE2 with increased copy number (cop) and those with reduced sensitivity to the wild-type incA gene (inc). Both types of mutations were single-base substitutions in the incA region and simultaneously increased the plasmid copy number and reduced the inhibitory activity of the incA gene on ColE2 DNA replication. Most of the cop mutations also reduced sensitivity to the...
