Dm. Miao et al., FUNCTIONAL DISTINCTION AMONG STRUCTURAL SUBSECTIONS IN THE SPECIFIC PRIMING SIGNAL FOR DNA-REPLICATION OF THE BROAD-HOST-RANGE PLASMID RSF1010, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(5), 1995, pp. 920-921
To analyze the functional contribution to the ssiA function of subsect
ions of the ssiA-determinant sequence based on their dimensions, we co
nstructed ssiA mutants carrying insertions and deletions. Results of t
he examination of the ssiA mutants told us that, in addition to the ba
se sequence, the dimensions were crucial factors for the functional co
ntribution of the subsections of ssiA.
