cmp, a cis-acting plasmid locus that increases interaction between replication origin and initiator protein.
pT181, a 4.4-kilobase multicopy plasmid of Staphylococcus aureus, encodes a trans-acting initiator protein, RepC, which was rate limiting for replication. Deletions in a 500-base-pair region of the plasmid external to the minimal replicon decreased the ability of the plasmid to compete with a coexisting incompatible plasmid. These deletions, which define a region called cmp (for competition), a...
متن کاملcis- and trans-acting elements in flavivirus RNA replication.
Most of the seven flavivirus nonstructural proteins (NS1 to NS5) encoded in the distal two-thirds of the RNA positive-sense genome are believed to be essential components of RNA replication complexes. To explore the functional relationships of these components in RNA replication, we used trans-complementation analysis of full-length infectious RNAs of Kunjin (KUN) virus with a range of lethal i...
متن کاملA cis-acting locus needed for stable maintenance of the yeast plasmid pSB3.
The Zygosaccharomyces rouxii plasmid pSB3 is one of the yeast plasmids resembling 2-microns DNA. The presence of a cis-acting locus needed for stable maintenance of pSB3 has been expected by analogy with the functions encoded by other yeast plasmids such as 2-microns DNA and pSR1. We found such a locus and designated it STB-SB3. The STB-SB3 locus was delimited within 371 bp in a unique region o...
متن کاملCis and trans-acting effects on a mutational hotspot involving a replication template switch.
A natural mutational hotspot in the thyA gene of Escherichia coli accounts for over half of the mutations that inactivate this gene, which can be selected by resistance to the antibiotic trimethoprim. This T to A transversion, at base 131 of the coding sequence, occurs within a 17 bp quasi-palindromic sequence. To clarify the mechanism of mutagenesis, we examine here cis and trans-acting factor...
متن کاملReplication from one of the three origins of the plasmid R6K requires coupled expression of two plasmid-encoded proteins.
The minimal beta-replicon of plasmid R6K contains an open reading frame for a 151-amino acid protein in addition to the seven 22-base pair direct nucleotide sequence repeats, the structural gene (pir) for the pi initiation protein, and the beta-origin sequence that have been shown to be required for replication activity. In this work, a site-specific mutation by linker insertion in this putativ...
