  • Title: Analysis of Agrobacterium tumefaciens plasmid pTiC58 replication region with a novel high-copy-number derivative.
    Author: Gallie DR, Hagiya M, Kado CI.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1985 Mar; 161(3):1034-41. PubMed ID: 3972769.
    Abstract:
    The origin of replication, ori, of the nopaline tumor-inducing plasmid, pTiC58, mapped in a region that shares sequence homology with octopine plasmids pTiAch5 and pTiB6. Within this region, the minimum amount of DNA necessary for maintaining autonomous replication was a 2.6-kilobase region, which also comprised the incompatibility function inc. pTiC58 derivatives containing inc were incompatible with Agrobacterium tumefaciens plasmids pTiC58, pTiD1439, pTiAch5, pTi15955, and pTiA5 and were compatible with A. rhizogenes plasmid pRi12. Situated adjacent to the origin region was a 1.5-kilobase par segment involved in stable inheritance of pTiC58 under nonselective growth conditions. When par was present, plasmid maintenance approached that of the wild-type pTiC58. Rapid loss from the cell population was observed for plasmids not containing this locus. Another 1.5-kilobase region, cop, positively regulated pTiC58 copy number, enabling certain pTiC58 derivatives to exist at a copy number up to 80 times higher than that of wild-type pTiC58. Deletions within the cop locus resulted in reduced copy number. The ori/inc regions were flanked on either side by the par and cop loci.
