Twelve 43-base-pair repeats map in a cis-acting region essential for partition of plasmid mini-F.

چکیده
The nucleotide sequence of the DNA region involved in partitioning of plasmid mini-F has been determined. The sequence consists of 12 direct tandemly arranged repeats of 43 base pairs (the two flanking repeats, 43 plus 1 base pairs) with extensive homology to each other. Each repeat contains an additional inverted repeat of 7 base pairs.

Mini-F plasmid genes that couple host cell division to plasmid proliferation.
A mechanism for stable maintenance of plasmids, besides the replication and partition mechanisms, has been found to be specified by genes of a mini-F plasmid. An oriC plasmid carrying both a mini-F segment necessary for partition [coordinates 46.4-49.4 kilobase pairs (kb) on the F map] and another segment (42.9-43.6 kb), designated ccd (coupled cell division), is more stably maintained than are...
متن کاملFine-structure analysis of the P1 plasmid partition site.
P1 plasmid partition requires two plasmid-encoded Par proteins and a cis-acting site. The site, parS, lies in a region consisting of a 13-bp palindrome and an adjacent AT-rich sequence. A series of point mutations were analyzed for their effects on partition site activity. The results indicated that only the left arm of the palindrome and some adjacent bases were needed. The limits of the funct...
متن کاملMini-F protein that binds to a unique region for partition of mini-F plasmid DNA.
A mini-F-coded protein, named F2 protein, binds specifically to mini-F DNA. This protein has a molecular weight of 37,000 and is coded by the A2 segment of the mini-F genome (47.3 to 49.4 kilobases on the F coordinate map). The binding site is located also in the A2 segment of mini-F. This binding site is lost by spontaneous deletion when the A2 segment alone, but not A2 together with its neigh...
متن کاملA cis-acting locus needed for stable maintenance of the yeast plasmid pSB3.
The Zygosaccharomyces rouxii plasmid pSB3 is one of the yeast plasmids resembling 2-microns DNA. The presence of a cis-acting locus needed for stable maintenance of pSB3 has been expected by analogy with the functions encoded by other yeast plasmids such as 2-microns DNA and pSR1. We found such a locus and designated it STB-SB3. The STB-SB3 locus was delimited within 371 bp in a unique region o...
متن کاملVaricella Zoster Virus (VZV) Origin-Dependent Plasmid Replication in the Presence of the Four Overlapping Cosmids Comprising the Complete Genome of VZV
The Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) genome contains both cis-acting and trans-acting elements, which are important in viral DNA replication. The cis-acting elements consist of two copies of oriS, and the trans-acting elements are those genes whose products are required for virus DNA replication. It has been shown that each of the seven genes required for ori-dependent DNA synthesis of Herpes Simpl...
