Twelve 43-base-pair repeats map in a cis-acting region essential for partition of plasmid mini-F

J Bacteriol. 1986 Mar;165(3):1043-5. doi: 10.1128/jb.165.3.1043-1045.1986.

Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA region involved in partitioning of plasmid mini-F has been determined. The sequence consists of 12 direct tandemly arranged repeats of 43 base pairs (the two flanking repeats, 43 plus 1 base pairs) with extensive homology to each other. Each repeat contains an additional inverted repeat of 7 base pairs.
