Partition Kinetics And Thermosensitive Replication Of Pt169, A Naturally Occurring Multicopy Tetracycline Resistance Plasmid Of Staphylococcus-Aureus
PLASMID(1978)
摘要
The temperature-sensitivity of a naturally occurring plasmid encoding inducible tetracycline resistance in Staphylococcus aureus has been examined in terms of incorporation of thymidine into plasmid DNA. The plasmid, pT169, has been found to have a multiplicity of about 15 copies per cell and to reduce sharply its replication rate immediately upon a shift to 42.5 °C. Plasmid replication at 42.5 °C continues at a rate equivalent to about 5% of the rate at 32 °C—sufficient to maintain a multiplicity of two to three copies per cell. Since under these conditions the plasmid is hereditarily stable, we conclude that there is a specific segregation mechanism, independent of replication, that ensures equal distribution of plasmid molecules to daughter cells during cell division.
