Unique type of plasmid maintenance function: postsegregational killing of plasmid-free cells.
TL;DR: It is proposed that theParB+ locus mediates plasmid stability by killing cells that have lost the parB+ plasmids during the preceding cell division, thereby ensuring that a growing bacterial culture predominantly consists of plasmID-containing cells.
Unique type of plasmid maintenance function: Postsegregational killing of plasmid-free cells (plasmid stability/parB+ of plasmid Ri/regulated killing/phage X promoter PR)
TL;DR: In this article, the parB+ locus mediates plasmid stability by killing cells that have lost the par-B+ during the preceding cell division, thereby ensuring that a growing bacterial culture predominantly con- sists of Plasmid-containing cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic analysis of the parB+ locus of plasmid R1.
TL;DR: Plasmid R1 in Escherichia coli carries two loci which independently contribute to the stable maintenance of the plasmid, one of which probably codes for a 52 amino acid polypeptide, whereas the other may be an untranslated RNA.
Patent
Stabilization of unstably inherited replicons
TL;DR: In this article, the stable maintenance of a replicon in a population of growing cells is ensured by providing the replicon with a sequence which encodes a product capable of killing the cell harbouring the replicons or the progeny of the cell.
