  • Title: A new IncQ plasmid R89S: properties and genetic organization.
    Author: Saano AK, Zinchenko VV.
    Journal: Plasmid; 1987 May; 17(3):191-201. PubMed ID: 3306733.
    Abstract:
    The new small (8.18 kb) streptomycin-resistant multicopy plasmid R89S of the Q group incompatibility is described. In contrast to other IncQ plasmids, replication of R89S is dependent on DNA polymerase 1 and proceeds in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. According to our data up to now, the host spectrum of the plasmid R89S is limited to Enterobacteriaceae. A genetic map of the plasmid R89S has been prepared through the construction of deletion and insertion derivatives. Phenotypic analysis of these derivatives has identified the location of genes encoding resistance to streptomycin, and the region essential for mobilization of R89S. The origin of vegetative replication has been located within a 0.7-kb fragment. Another region highly homologous to oriV of the plasmid RSF1010, but not functioning as an origin of replication, was localized. Two regions involved in the expression of incompatibility have also been identified. The data from the restriction analyses, DNA-DNA hybridization, and genetic experiments enable us to assume that the plasmid R89S is a naturally occurring recombinant between part of an IncQ plasmid and another narrow host range replicon of unknown incompatibility group.
