Abstract excerpt
Most small multicopy plasmids of Gram-positive bacteria and many in Gram-negative bacteria replicate by a rolling-circle (RC) mechanism. The replication initiator proteins encoded by the RC plasmids and single-stranded bacteriophages of Escherichia coli have origin-specific nicking-closing activities that are required for the initiation and termination of RC replication. We have investigated the sequence...
