摘要: The copy number control locus incA of unit plasmid P1 maps in a region containing nine 19 base-pair repeats. Previous results from studies vivo and vitro indicated that interacts with the plasmid-encoded RepA protein, which is essential for replication. It has been proposed repeat sequences negatively by sequestering rate-limiting Our lend further support to this hypothesis. Here we show repeats can be deleted completely miniplasmids deletion an approximately eightfold increase number. So, are totally dispensable replication have only regulatory role. incA-deleted plasmids reduced if present trans or reincorporated at two different positions plasmid. This reduction not due lowered expression repA gene presence incA. We one sequence sufficient bind reduce plasmids. When part was deleted, it lost its ability as well influence These strong correlation between capacity protein both vitro, function
