title: [Properties of the replicator region of the natural plasmid pLG13 containing genes of the EcoRV restriction-modification system].
abstract: The previously constructed plasmid pILRV8 that induces endonuclease EcoRV gene overexpression kills cells of some E. coli strains under the induction of this enzyme synthesis. Cell transformation by natural plasmid pLG13 carrying genes of the EcoRV restriction--modification system was found to appreciably enhance cell viability ("survival") under endonuclease overproduction. A plasmid pLG13 region located in immediate proximity to the methylase gene was shown to be responsible for the above effect. This region was also capable for autonomous replication. The analysis of the DNA primary structure in the found replicator region allowed to refer the pLG13 to ColE1 family plasmids. Perturbations in the region lead to loss of the "survival" effect and change of the plasmid replicative properties. A relationship between the replicon elements, the EcoRV genes region and "survival" effect is discussed. Based on the replicon found multicopy vector molecules have been constructed.
