We have identified and localized two incompatibility determinants (IncA and IncB) within a 1.3 kb segment of ColE2 sufficient for autonomous replication. The IncA determinant is localized in a region shorter than 250 bp and expresses incompatibility against both ColE2 and ColE3. The region which det

Approximately 200,000 clones of Escherichia coli carrying mutagen-treated colicinogenic plasmid E1 (ColE1) were examined for irreversible loss of the plasmid at 43 degrees. Thirty of these clones that appeared to be most defective in plasmid DNA replication at the non-permissive temperature were sel
Thermal inactivation of the dnaA gene product leads to a considerable decrease in the rate of replication of ColEl-like plasmids. To test the possiblity that the dnaA protein may affect synthesis of RNA I, which is an inhibitor of primer formation, or synthesis of RNA II, which is the primer precurs
Heat shock proteins have been shown to be involved in many cellular processes in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells. Using an in vitro DNA replication assay, we show that DNA synthesis initiated at the chromosomal origin of replication of Escherichia coli (oriC) is considerably reduced in enzyme extra
The rate of replication of the plasmids colE1, pSC101, R100.1 and pAR132 (an RTF-TC derivative of the drug resistance factor R100.1) has been investigated directly by DNA:DNA hybridization. These rates have been compared, in a dnaAts strain, to that of various markers of the host chromosome at permi
