Abstract excerpt
Transfer of F-like plasmids is regulated by the FinOP system, which controls the expression of traJ, a positive regulator of the transfer operon. F FinP is a 79 base antisense RNA, composed of two stem-loops, complementary to the 5' untranslated leader of traJ mRNA. Binding of FinP to the traJ le...
