To investigate the consequences of persyn overexpression in neurons, we microinjected cultured sensory neurons with a persyn expression plasmid. Injected neurons showed intense persyn ...

A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

Together, this complex shuts off gene expression to keep the plasmid safe within its bacterial host. This newly discovered mechanism offers a fresh insight into long-range gene silencing in bacteria.
