Partitioning of the 2-μm Circle Plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae : Functional Coordination with Chromosome Segregation and Plasmid-Encoded Rep Protein Distribution

The efficient partitioning of the 2-μm plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at cell division is dependent on two plasmid-encoded proteins (Rep1p and Rep2p), together with the cis-acting locus REP3 (STB). In addition, host encoded factors are likely to contribute to plasmid segregation. Direct observa...
