The bioinformatic analysis that we made of 492 Acinetobacter baumannii plasmid
sequences identified 418 genes encoding Replication Initiator (Rep) proteins that fell into at …

Plasmids found in Acinetobacter species contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance
genes. They appear to be largely confined to this genus and cannot be typed with available …

The replication initiator protein RepA of the IncB plasmid pMU720 was purified and used in
DNase I protection assays in vitro. RepA protected a 68-bp region of the origin of replication …

The minimal replication region of the mycobacterial plasmid pAL5000 encompasses the
replication origin (ori) and two tandemly organized replication genes, repA and repB, the …

In the previously isolated pAG20 plasmid from the Acetobacter aceti CCM3610 strain, the
Rep20 protein was characterized as a main replication initiator. The pAG20 plasmid origin …

In the mycobacterial plasmid pAL5000 replication region, the replication genes repA and
repB are organized in an operon. Earlier, a RepB-dependent origin binding activity was …

The replication initiator protein RepA of the IncB plasmid pMU720 was shown to induce
localized unwinding of its cognate origin of replication in vitro. DnaA, the initiator protein of …

RepA protein is the DNA replication initiator of the Pseudomonas plasmid pPS10. RepA
dimers bind to an inversely repeated operator sequence inrepA promoter, thus repressing its …

RepA, the replication initiator protein of the IncB plasmid pMU720, acts preferentially in cis.
The cis activity of RepA is thought to be mediated by CIS, a 166-bp region of DNA …

Using a sensitive primer extension technique, we have carried out studies to localize the
start site of replication of the replicon RepFIC. In the course of these studies, we have found …
