Abstract excerpt
The replication frequency of plasmid R1 is controlled by an unstable antisense RNA, CopA, which, by binding to its complementary target, blocks translation of the replication rate-limiting protein RepA. Since the degree of inhibition is directly correlated with the intracellular concentration of CopA, factors affecting CopA turnover can also alter plasmid copy number. We show here that PcnB (PAPl-a...
