The broad host range plasmid RSF1010 requires for its replication in Escherichia coli three plasmid-encoded proteins and specific nucleotide sequences ssiA, ssiB, and iterons in the oriVRSF1010. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a recombinant mini-RSF1010 plasmid lacking ssiB lost its replication ability, but a miniplasmid lacking ssiA or carrying a primosome assembly site in place of ssiA could replicate. Moreover, ssiA, as a sole ssi signal, in the orientation that ssiB had originally taken was sufficient for replication of the miniplasmid. These results indicated that only one RSF1010-specific ssi signal in the orientation that ssiB takes in wild-type oriVRSF1010 was essential for replication of RSF1010. Replication of the miniplasmids was dependent on the three plasmid-encoded proteins, RepA, B', and C, as in E. coli.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010584 Bacteriophage phi X 174 The type species of the genus MICROVIRUS. A prototype of the small virulent DNA coliphages, it is composed of a single strand of supercoiled circular DNA, which on infection, is converted to a double-stranded replicative form by a host enzyme. Coliphage phi X 174,Enterobacteria phage phi X 174,Phage phi X 174,phi X 174 Phage,Phage phi X174
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
D011550 Pseudomonas aeruginosa A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection. Bacillus aeruginosus,Bacillus pyocyaneus,Bacterium aeruginosum,Bacterium pyocyaneum,Micrococcus pyocyaneus,Pseudomonas polycolor,Pseudomonas pyocyanea
D012093 Replicon Any DNA sequence capable of independent replication or a molecule that possesses a REPLICATION ORIGIN and which is therefore potentially capable of being replicated in a suitable cell.

D004269 DNA, Bacterial Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria. Bacterial DNA
D004279 DNA, Viral Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral DNA
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
