چکیده
Plasmid pSLL of Streptomyces laurentii ATCC31255 (wild-type strain P0) is a 93-kilobase linear DNA plasmid that carries a protein bound to each 5' end of the DNA. It was self-transmitted to the pSLL-cured strain by conjugation in solid culture. The pSLL-cured strain carried a circular plasmid, pSLS, and showed a marked decrease in spore formation and thiostrepton productivity, owing to the pSLS. However, by retransmission of pSLL, these things reverted to levels seen in strain P0. Thus, plasmid pSLL suppressed the injurious effects of pSLS on the host mycelia.

Conjugation is a driving force in the evolution and shaping of bacterial genomes. In antibiotic producing streptomycetes even small plasmids replicating via the rolling-circle mechanism are conjugative. Although they encode only genes involved in replication and transfer, the molecular function of most plasmid encoded proteins is unknown. In this work we show that the conjugative plasmid pIJ101...

UNLABELLED Conjugative DNA transfer in mycelial Streptomyces is a unique process involving the transfer of a double-stranded plasmid from the donor into the recipient and the subsequent spreading of the transferred plasmid within the recipient mycelium. This process is associated with growth retardation of the recipient and manifested by the formation of circular inhibition zones, named pocks. ...

An 11-kbp multicopy plasmid, pSN22, was isolated from Streptomyces nigrifaciens SN22. pSN22 is self-transmissible (conjugative), is maintained stably in S. lividans, and forms pocks in a wide range of Streptomyces strains. Mutational analyses showed that a fragment of pSN22 contained five genes involved in plasmid transfer and pock formation. traB was essential for plasmid transfer. traA was re...

Conjugation is a major route of horizontal gene transfer, the driving force in the evolution of bacterial genomes. Antibiotic producing soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces transfer DNA in a unique process involving a single plasmid-encoded protein TraB and a double-stranded DNA molecule. However, the molecular function of TraB in directing DNA transfer from a donor into a recipient cell is ...
