Abstract excerpt
Replication of mini-F plasmids requires the initiator protein RepE, which binds specifically to four iterons within the origin (ori2), as well as some host factors that are involved in chromosomal DNA replication. To understand the role of host factors and RepE in the early steps of mini-F DNA re...
