Structural and functional analysis of pTB6 from Bifidobacterium longum

The complete nucleolide sequence for pTB6 (3,624 bp) from Bifidobacterium longum was determined. This plasmid is 95% homologous in nucleotide (nuc) sequence, and also 92% in RepB as sequence, to rolling circle replication (RCR) plasmids pKJ36 and pB44. suggesting that pTB6 replicates by the rolling...

Zusammenfassung:The complete nucleolide sequence for pTB6 (3,624 bp) from Bifidobacterium longum was determined. This plasmid is 95% homologous in nucleotide (nuc) sequence, and also 92% in RepB as sequence, to rolling circle replication (RCR) plasmids pKJ36 and pB44. suggesting that pTB6 replicates by the rolling circle mechanism. The putative MembB, MobA, and protein encoding from orf (Orf) I detected were nonessential for plasmid replication. We constructed an immobile shuttle vector from pTB6 and pUC18, which transformed B. longum with a high efficiency of 2.5 ×10E+6 trans-formants/Microg DNA.
