Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the colicinogenic plasmid ColA has been determined. The plasmid DNA consists of 6720 bp (molecular weight 4.48×106). Fifteen putative biological functions have been identified using the functional map previously determined. These include 11 genes and 3 DNA sites. Nine genes encode proteins of which 3 have been fully characterized. The replication region of ColA coding for RNAI and RNAII is highly homologous to that of ColE1 andClo DF13. The same holds true for the site-specific recombination region containing palindromic symmetry and involved in stable maintenance of the plasmids. A high percentage of homology has been detected for putative mobility proteins encoded by ColA and ColE1. The exclusion proteins are also highly homologous.This publication has 69 references indexed in Scilit:
