Zusammenfassung: | The complete nucleotide sequence of two cryptic plasmids isolated from
Lactobacillus plantarum strain AS1.2986 has been determined. The smaller plasmid, designated pLP2000, encodes a 37.0
kDa Rep protein and has a 17
bp sequence repeated 10 times. Sequence analysis of the larger plasmid, designated pLP9000, revealed nine putative open reading frames (ORFs). Based on sequence similarity, ORF1 codes for a putative magnesium transporter protein that shows similarities to CorA from plasmid pCIS3 (
Lactococcus lactis). None of the nine ORFs shows similarity to any known Rep protein. Southern blot analysis indicates these two plasmids both replicate via a rolling circle (RC) mechanism. |
