Stringent and relaxed recognition of oriT by related systems for plasmid mobilization: implications for horizontal gene transfer.

abstract：:A total of 400 suppressible mutations have been isolated in the araC gene of Escherichia coli. Based on deletion mapping, growth patterns when suppressed, and intragenic recombination, 37 mutants have been determined to contain unique mutations. Rapid plate assays were developed to test for each of the three AraC prot...
