Transduction of low-copy number plasmids by bacteriophage P22.
The generalized transducing bacteriophage of Salmonella typhimurium, P22, can transduce plasmids in addition to chromosomal markers. Previous studies have concentrated on transduction of pBR322 by P22 and P22HT, the high transducing mutant of P22. This study investigates the mechanism of P22HT transduction of low-copy number plasmids, namely pSC101 derivatives. We show that P22HT transduces pSC...
متن کاملTransduction by bacteriophage P22 in nonsmooth mutants of Salmonella typhimurium.
The general transducing phage P22 attacks only smooth (S) Salmonella with O antigen 12, determined by the oligosaccharide repeating unit constituting the distal part of the somatic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) side chain; non-S mutants, whose LPS contain few or no O repeating units, appear to be resistant. Auxotrophic non-S mutants of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 were tested as transductional recipie...
متن کاملGeneralized transduction by bacteriophage P22 in Salmonella typhimurium. II. Mechanism of integration of transducing DNA.
Generalized transduction by bacteriophage P22 occurs by the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another by means of a phage-like particle (i.e. a transducing particle) which contains bacterial DNA formed before infection (preceding paper). Transduction of a 3aP-labeled, light recipient with purified transducing particles whose DNA is labeled with 3H, zH, 16N, 13C results in the physical assoc...
متن کاملActive stable maintenance functions in low copy-number plasmids of Gram-positive bacteria I. Partition systems.
Low copy number plasmids cannot rely on the random segregation during bacterial cell division. To be stably maintained in the population they evolved two types of mechanisms (i) partition systems (PAR) that actively separate replicated plasmid molecules to the daughter cells and (ii) toxin-andidote systems (TA) that act after cell division to kill plasmid-less cells. Our knowledge of partition ...
