Distribution of shufflon among IncI plasmids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A shufflon or clustered inversion is a novel type of DNA rearrangement originally discovered in the IncI1 plasmid R64 (T. Komano, A. Kubo, and T. Nisioka, Nucleic Acids Res. 15:1165-1172, 1987). In a 1.95-kilobase region of R64 DNA, four DNA segments inverted independently or in groups, resulting in a complex DNA rearrangement. We found similar types of shufflon in other IncI1 plasmids, including delta, pIP111, pIP565, pIP112, pIP186, R144, R163, R483, and R621a. A variant type of shufflon occurs in the IncI1 plasmid ColIb.

Distribution of plasmid maintenance regions among IncFIV plasmids.
The distribution of the IncFI basic replicons among IncFIV plasmids was assessed by DNA hybridization. In addition these and 20 other plasmids from 16 incompatibility groups were screened for the presence of IncIV, an incompatibility determinant recently found on the IncFIV plasmid R124. The IncIV determinant was found commonly but not universally among the IncFIV plasmids. It was also detected...
متن کاملSequences of Two Related Multiple Antibiotic Resistance Virulence Plasmids Sharing a Unique IS26-Related Molecular Signature Isolated from Different Escherichia coli Pathotypes from Different Hosts
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (aEPEC) are important zoonotic pathogens that increasingly are becoming resistant to multiple antibiotics. Here we describe two plasmids, pO26-CRL125 (125 kb) from a human O26:H- EHEC, and pO111-CRL115 (115kb) from a bovine O111 aEPEC, that impart resistance to ampicillin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, sulfathi...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance correlates with transmission in plasmid evolution.
Conjugative (horizontally transmissible) plasmids are autonomous replicators, whose "self-interests" do not necessarily overlap with those of their hosts. This situation causes plasmids and bacteria to sometimes experience differing selection pressures. Escherichia coli plasmid pB15 contains genes for resistance to several antibiotics, including tetracycline. When plasmid-bearing cells were exp...
متن کاملGenetic characterization of IncI2 plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-55 spreading in both pets and food animals in China.
pHN1122-1 carrying bla(CTX-M-55), from an Escherichia coli isolate from a dog, was completely sequenced. pHN1122-1 has an IncI2 replicon and typical IncI2-associated genetic modules, including mok/hok-finO-yafA/B, nikABC, and two transfer regions, tra and pil, as well as a shufflon. bla(CTX-M-55) is found within a 3.084-kb ISEcp1 transposition unit that includes a fragment of IncA/C plasmid bac...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of the R721 shufflon.
The shufflon is a DNA region that undergoes complex rearrangement mediated by the product of a putative site-specific recombinase gene, rci. The DNA sequences of the shufflon region and the rci gene of IncI2 plasmid R721 were determined. The R721 shufflon consists of three invertible DNA segments that are homologous to the shufflon segments found in IncI1 plasmid R64. Structural analysis of ope...
