Enhancement of telomere-plasmid segregation by the X-telomere associated sequence in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves SIR2, SIR3, SIR4 and ABF1.
We have previously shown that circular replicating plasmids that carry yeast telomere repeat sequence (TG1-3) tracts segregate efficiently relative to analogous plasmids lacking the TG1-3 tract and this efficient segregation is dependent upon RAP1. While a long TG1-3 tract is sufficient to improve plasmid segregation, the segregation efficiency of telomere plasmids (TEL-plasmids) is enhanced wh...
متن کاملTelomere-mediated plasmid segregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves gene products required for transcriptional repression at silencers and telomeres.
Plasmids that contain Saccharomyces cerevisiae TG1-3 telomere repeat sequences (TRS plasmids) segregate efficiently during mitosis. Mutations in histone H4 reduce the efficiency of TRS-mediated plasmid segregation, suggesting that chromatin structure is involved in this process. Sir2, Sir3 and Sir4 are required for the transcriptional repression of genes located at the silent mating type loci (...
متن کاملPlasmid segregation and accumulation
The segregation of plasmids in a bacterial population is investigated. Hereby, a dynamical model is formulated in terms of a size-structured population using a hyperbolic partial differential equation incorporating non-local terms (the fragmentation equation). For a large class of parameter functions this PDE can be re-written as an infinite system of ordinary differential equations for the mom...
متن کاملPlasmid segregation mechanisms.
Bacterial plasmids encode partitioning (par) loci that ensure ordered plasmid segregation prior to cell division. par loci come in two types: those that encode actin-like ATPases and those that encode deviant Walker-type ATPases. ParM, the actin-like ATPase of plasmid R1, forms dynamic filaments that segregate plasmids paired at mid-cell to daughter cells. Like microtubules, ParM filaments exhi...
متن کاملDNA sequence and units of transcription of the conjugative transfer gene complex (trs) of Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pGO1.
The conjugative transfer genes of 52-kb staphylococcal R plasmid pGO1 were localized to a single BglII restriction fragment and cloned in Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis of the 13,612-base transfer region, designated trs, identified 14 intact open reading frames (ORFs), 13 of which were transcribed in the same direction. Each ORF identified was preceded by a typical staphylococcal ribosomal...
