The amount of RepR protein determines the copy number of plasmid pIP501 in Bacillus subtilis
J Bacteriol.
1992 Aug.
Abstract
To prove the hypothesis that the amount of RepR protein is the rate-limiting factor for replication of plasmid pIP501 in Bacillus subtilis, the repR gene was placed under control of the inducible promoter pspac. The plasmid copy number of the pIP501 derivative pRS9 could be deliberately adjusted between approximately 1 and 50 to 100 molecules per cell by varying the concentration of the inducer isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside. Construction of a repR-lacZ fusion proved that the increase in copy number was due to a proportional increase in the amount of RepR protein.
