The structure of the dimeric replication initiator of pPS10
reveals that secondary structure remodeling of chameleon sequences defines the
monomer-dimer oligomerization state of the protein. Together with an
unanticipated dimerization interface, this result will steer thinking in the
field and influence strategies to control spread of virulence and antibiotic
resistance genes that are often plasmid-encoded.
