RepA protein, encoded in the Pseudomonas pPS10 replicon, is a stable dimer in solution (dRepA), acting as a self-repressor of repA transcription through binding to an inverted repeat operator.… (More)
RepA protein is the DNA replication initiator of the Pseudomonas plasmid pPS10. RepA dimers bind to an inversely repeated operator sequence in repA promoter, thus repressing its own synthesis,… (More)
In many plasmid replicons of gram-negative bacteria, Rep protein dimers are transcriptional self-repressors of their genes, whereas monomers are initiators of DNA replication. Switching between both… (More)
