Plasmid mini-F encoded proteins

H Wehlmann, R Eichenlaub

    Molecular & General Genetics : MGG
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Researchers identified four mini-F plasmid proteins (A, B, C, D) and mapped their genes. They also confirmed two incompatibility loci (incA, incB), suggesting roles in plasmid control and partitioning.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Mini-F plasmids are crucial for studying plasmid replication and maintenance in bacteria.
    • Understanding the proteins encoded by mini-F plasmids is essential for elucidating their biological functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and characterize proteins encoded by the mini-F plasmid.
    • To map the genes responsible for these proteins on the mini-F genome.
    • To investigate the function of mini-F encoded proteins and incompatibility loci.

    Main Methods:

    • Proteins encoded by mini-F plasmid were labeled in Escherichia coli minicells.
    • Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used for protein analysis.
    • Deletion derivatives of mini-F were generated using restriction endonucleases for gene mapping.

    Main Results:

    • Four mini-F encoded proteins with molecular weights of 44,000 (A), 36,000 (B), 34,000 (C), and 25,300 (D) daltons were identified.
    • Gene loci for proteins A, B, C, and D were mapped to specific regions on the mini-F genome.
    • Two incompatibility loci, incA (45.7–47.2 kb) and incB (44.0–45.7 kb), were confirmed.

    Conclusions:

    • Protein C and D likely act as positive control elements for origin I and origin II, respectively.
    • The incB locus is implicated in plasmid partitioning mechanisms.
    • Protein A, encoded by the incA locus, is suggested to function as a negative control element.
