Properties of the streptomycete temperate bacteriophage FP43.
نویسندگان
چکیده
FP43 is a temperate bacteriophage for Streptomyces griseofuscus that forms plaques on many Streptomyces species. FP43 virions contain 56 kb of double-strand DNA that is circularly permuted and terminally redundant, and contains 65% G + C. A physical map of the FP43 genome was constructed, and the origin for headful packaging (pac) was localized to an 8.8-kb region of the genome (hft) that mediates high-frequency transduction by FP43 of plasmid pRHB101. The phage attachment site (attP), a replication origin (rep), a region that inhibits plaque formation (pin), and a 3-kb deletion (rpt) that caused a 100-fold reduction in plasmid transduction were mapped.

Plasmid pIJ7021) is a useful vector for the cloning and expression of streptomycete and mammalian genes in Streptomyces lividans.2~4) pIJ702 or its derivatives have broad host range, replicating in many Streptomyces species and in other actinomycetes (see ref 2~6 and refs therein). We have been interested in expanding the utility of pIJ702 by making it transducible. We cloned a segment of bacte...

A segment (hft) of bacteriophage FP43 DNA cloned into plasmid pIJ702 mediated high-frequency transduction of the resulting plasmid (pRHB101) by FP43 in Streptomyces griseofuscus. The transducing particles contained linear concatemers of plasmid DNA. Lysates of FP43 prepared on S. griseofuscus containing pRHB101 also transduced many other Streptomyces species, including several that restrict pla...

Streptomyces reseosporus, the producer of the cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic daptomycin, was shown to be a suitable host for molecular genetic manipulation. S. roseosporus does not appear to express significant restriction barriers based upon bacteriophage plaque formation studies. Plasmid DNA can be introduced into S. roseosporus by bacteriophage-FP43-mediated transduction and by conjugation fr...

Transduction was mediated by a 8-kb segment of bacteriophage FP43 DNAcloned into plasmid pIJ702: The resulting plasmid, pRHBlOl, was packaged in bacteriophage heads as linear concatemers and was transduced into about 80% of the Streptomyces species tested1}. We showed that the efficiency of transduction can vary markedly depending on the cell growth conditions, and that under optimum growth con...

The relationship of phage production to lysis and variation in a streptomycete carrying temperate phage was investigated. Macroscopically, the original isolate, S-77, produced cartilaginous mycelial growth characteristic of Streptomyces. Microscopic examination, however, showed that discrete portions of hyphae were lysed within 48 hours of growth. These lysed portions were widely spaced with th...
