Abstract

The pem locus is responsible for stable maintenance of plasmid R100 and consists of two genes, pemI and pemK. The pemK gene product is a growth inhibitor, while the pemI gene product is a suppressor of this inhibitory function. We found that the PemI amino acid sequence is homologous to two open rea...
