DNA Regions Responsible for Maintenance of Shingobium Plasmid pYAN-2
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have identified and analyzed two DNA regions responsible for stable maintenance of a plasmid in the genus Sphingomonas and Escherichia coli. A 37 bp fragment, upstream of the repA gene, is required for stable maintenance of the low-copy-number small plasmid pYAN-2 (4,687 bp) from Sphingobium yanoikuyae. It does not encode any significant protein sequence and has one direct repeat for possible secondary structures. Moreover, a 70 bp fragment, upstream of the above sequence, completely stabilized the unstable pSC101 plasmid in E. coli.

Studies on maintenance of vector pBK2 in Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum by co-culture experiments in a continuous bioreactor
A plasmid vector pBK2 was tested for maintenance in Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum and found to be 100% stable for 90 generations. In co-culture experiments in absence of any selection pressure it was able to cause washout of plasmid free cells. Deletion mutagenesis of the plasmid was done to identtfi the regions of DNA responsible for its stable maintenance. This led to the identification of...
متن کاملThe complete DNA sequence and analysis of R27, a large IncHI plasmid from Salmonella typhi that is temperature sensitive for transfer.
Salmonella typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever, annually infects 16 million people and kills 600 000 world wide. Plasmid-encoded multiple drug resistance in S. typhi is always encoded by plasmids of incompatibility group H (IncH). The complete DNA sequence of the large temperature-sensitive conjugative plasmid R27, the prototype for the IncHI1 family of plasmids, has been compiled and a...

Novel recombinant plasmids derived from the Kluyveromyces lactis killer plasmid k2 have been constructed to study plasmid biology and gene function. In vivo recombination between native resident k2 and suitable disruption vectors, employing the KITRP1 gene fused to a plasmid promoter as selection marker, yielded ORF2 and ORF6 deletion plasmids at high frequencies. As judged from Southern hybrid...

Conjugation is a major mechanism of DNA transfer among bacteria which takes place in both laboratory and natural environment and brings about new characteristics. Extrachromosomal DNA called plasmid are important elements in this exchange. Resistance plasmid confer resistance to many antibiotics and in this group, penicillinase plasmid is responsible for resistance to penicillins and cephalos...
متن کاملThe 2-μm plasmid encoded protein Raf1 regulates both stability and copy number of the plasmid by blocking the formation of the Rep1–Rep2 repressor complex
The 2-μm plasmid of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae achieves a high chromosome-like stability with the help of four plasmid-encoded (Rep1, Rep2, Raf1 and Flp) and several host-encoded proteins. Rep1 and Rep2 and the DNA locus STB form the partitioning system ensuring equal segregation of the plasmid. The Flp recombinase and its target sites FRTs form the amplification system which is...
