Involvement of IS1 in the dissociation of the r-determinant and RTF components of the plasmid R100.1. 1977

M Chandler, and B Allet, and E Gallay, and E Boy de La Tour, and L Caro

The formation of the r-determinant pLC1 and of the RTF pAR132 from the composite plasmid R100.1 was investigated. The general location of IS1 sequences on the three plasmids was established by hybridization of lambdar14 CII::IS1 DNA to EcoRI generated fragments of the various plasmids separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and transferred directly to nitrocellulose filters. The position of IS1 sequences on these fragments and the homologies between fragments were analyzed by electron microscopy of heteroduplex molecules. The results show that the excision of both pLC1 and pAR132 occurred by an exchange between the two IS1 sequences present on R100.1.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
