Metal-induced stabilization and activation of plasmid replication initiator RepB
Initiation of plasmid rolling circle replication is catalyzed by a plasmid-encoded Rep protein that performs a Tyr- and metal-dependent site-specific cleavage of one DNA strand within the double-strand origin of replication. The crystal structure of RepB, the initiator protein of the streptococcal p...
