Abstract：
:pBR322-derived plasmids that lack the bla gene and 40% of the gene for the replication inhibitor, RNAI, have been constructed. Since the RNAI gene totally overlaps with the gene for the replication primer, RNAII, this primer is similarly defective and also lacks its normal promoter. The primer is presumed to by synthesized either from the counter-tet promoter (plasmid pCL59) or from an inserted lacUV5 promoter (plasmid pCL59-65). Based mainly on the observation that the plasmid Rom protein, which normally assists in the RNAI/RNAII interaction, has no effect on the replication of the RNAI/RNAII-defective plasmids, we suggest that the defective RNAI is not functional while the defective RNAII primer, although less efficient, still allows plasmid replication. The defective plasmids are fully compatible with the intact parent plasmid, indicating that they do not share a common control of replication. In the absence of antibiotics, the bacteria lose the defective plasmid, beginning after 80 generations; under the same conditions, the parent plasmid is retained even after 140 generations. During exponential growth of their host, the number of defective plasmids in a culture increases exponentially with a doubling time either smaller or greater than that of the host cell growth, depending on the growth medium and, in the case of pCL59-65, on the presence or absence of lac inducer IPTG. As a result of these differences in host cell growth and plasmid replication, the plasmids are either gradually diluted out or their copy number continually increases. This shows that, without RNAI, plasmid replication is uncoupled from the host cell growth and not, as usual, adjusted to it. It also implies that the RNAI mechanism is the only means of replication control for ColE1-type plasmids that senses and adjusts the copy number; limiting host factors cannot provide a back-up control to stabilize copy numbers.
