pubmed:abstractText |
The IncP antibiotic-resistance plasmids transfer to a broad range of bacterial species. The RK2 origin of DNA transfer (oriT) consists of a 250-base-pair segment including the single-stranded cleavage site (nic) needed to generate the DNA strand believed to be transferred. Deletion derivatives and a bank of hydroxylamine-generated oriT mutants were screened for loss of transferability. DNA regions flanking both sides of nic are required for optimal transfer of the oriT clone. Of the chemically induced mutants, critical base-pair changes that dramatically reduced transfer frequency were found in a 10-base-pair region adjacent to nic. Relaxation (nicking) assays performed with these point mutants using protein-DNA complexes reconstituted in vitro revealed a correlation between DNA nicking and transfer frequency. Base-pair changes within the proximal arm of an inverted repeat upstream from the nick site resulted in reduced binding of the essential transfer protein TraJ and correspondingly reduced transfer frequencies. The results support a model of relaxosome formation involving at least two essential proteins: TraI and TraJ. The nick region defined by the point mutants was located in a segment known to be nearly identical in the related plasmid R751. This sequence was also found to be highly conserved in both border junctions of the transfer DNA (T-DNA) of plant tumor-inducing plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, indicating a relationship between IncP-mediated broad-host-range bacterial conjugation and T-DNA transfer to plants.
