The maintenance of plasmid pBR322 is highly unstable in a polA12 strain of Escherichia coli at 29 degrees C due to severely reduced copy number. Under these conditions, introduction of the par (partition) locus of plasmid P1 or the par (sop) region of F into pBR322 stabilizes it. A region with similar activity was detected in the P7 plasmid. The activity of the P1 par locus was dependent on the P1 parA gene product and was sensitive to par-specified incompatibility.
由于拷贝数严重减少,质粒pBR322在大肠杆菌的polA12菌株中于29℃下的维持高度不稳定。在这些条件下,将质粒P1的par(分配)位点或F的par(sop)区域引入pBR322可使其稳定。在P7质粒中检测到具有类似活性的区域。P1 par位点的活性依赖于P1 parA基因产物,并且对par指定的不相容性敏感。
