The indigenous plasmid pIJ101 is the parent of many cloning vectors used in Streptomyces. One early pIJ101 derivative, pIJ702, has been particularly widely used. pIJ702 lacks sti:cop/korB and accumulates single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The 1.2 kb BclI-BclI sti:cop/korB and 0.7 kb SpeI-BclI sti regions were isolated from pIJ101 and cloned into pIJ702 at the PstI site in both orientations. No ssDNA was detected in constructs containing sti present in its correct orientation with respect to the basic replicon, with or without cop/korB. Constructs which contained sti in the reverse orientation did accumulate ssDNA. Thus, sti is only active as the site for second-strand synthesis in its natural orientation. Furthermore, sti inserted in either orientation into the structurally unstable pIJ702-pUC8 shuttle vectors prevented them from rearranging in S. lividans. The sti function was defined to a 0.53 kb SpeI-SacII fragment and the probable site for second-strand initiation (ssi) was identified.
