Main Results:

  • Plasmid pUE30 has two open reading frames (Orf1 and Orf2) with similarities to known replication proteins.
  • Orf2 is essential for autonomous replication of hybrid plasmids in D. grandis.
  • A DNA fragment containing Orf1 contributes to plasmid instability in D. grandis.
  • Successful expression of firefly luciferase in D. grandis using a D. radiodurans promoter.

Conclusions:

  • Plasmid pUE30 is a valuable resource for developing shuttle vectors in Deinococcus species.
  • The established D. grandis host-vector system facilitates genetic studies and applications.
  • This system holds potential for bioremediation of radioactive waste and DNA repair research.
