High impact information on repU

Expression of the pUB110 repU gene is controlled by two antisense RNAs that interfere with repU mRNA translation [1].
The plasmid pUB110 initiator protein is termed RepU [1].

Biological context of repU

When the promoter was replaced by the repU promoter of the plasmid pUB110 replication protein, production of iturin A increased threefold [2].

References

The level of the pUB110 replication initiator protein is autoregulated, which provides an additional control for plasmid copy number. Müller, A.K., Rojo, F., Alonso, J.C. Nucleic Acids Res. (1995) [Pubmed]
