Abstract

Inhibition sites T1 and T2 from the Escherichia coli terminus functioned with the same characteristics in ColE1-derived plasmids and in the chromosome. These characteristics included polarity and dependence on tus, a trans-acting factor required for inhibition. Inhibition in the terminus region of the R6K plasmid was also tus dependent.
