Initiation of ColE1 plasmid replication requires hybridization of the primer transcript (RNA II) to the template DNA at the replication origin. The hybridization is inhibited by binding of another RNA, RNA I, to RNA II. This binding, which occurs in the nonessential region proximal to the 5'-end of RNA II, alters the secondary structure of RNA II even in the region far downstream of the segment where RNA I binds. Similar functional and Structural alterations of RNA II are caused by a single-base change within the nonessential region. By forming an alternative structure, the dispensable region affects folding of a downstream region, and thus participates in the regulation of DNA replication.
