Plasmid variability in the istamycin producing strains of Streptomyces tenjimariensis. 1984

T Shigyo, and K Hotta, and Y Okami, and H Umezawa

Three strains of istamycin-producing Streptomyces tenjimariensis were isolated over a period of time from soils at the same location and were found to have three different types of plasmid profiles. Protoplast fusion between two of these strains provided a clone harboring a smaller plasmid not present in the parent strains. None of the plasmids had restriction sites for EcoR I and Hind III. Most of the plasmids had one or two restriction sites for BamH I, Bcl I, Bgl II, Kpn I, Pst I and Pvu II, and more than two restriction sites for Sal I and Sst II. Plasmid restriction maps and Southern hybridization experiments revealed that pST2, pST12 and pST22 were identical, as were pST10 and pST20. In addition, it was revealed that pST1, pST1, pST11 and pST21 were related to each other.

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.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.

D013302 Streptomyces A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
