The bacteriophage resistance plasmid pTR2030 forms high-molecular-weight multimers in lactococci.

Abstract:

:Lactococcus lactis ME2 can transfer a 46-kb plasmid, pTR2030, which encodes abortive phage infection (Hsp) and restriction/modification (R/M) activities. pTR2030 can be detected as a monomeric plasmid in transconjugants at low copy number, but not in ME2. pTR2030-specific probes were cloned and used to determine the location of the element in ME2. No homology was observed between these pTR2030-specific probes and the CsCl-purified plasmid content of ME2. However, probes specific for pTR2030 hybridized strongly to a high-molecular-weight moiety, and not to chromosomal DNA, in total DNA isolated by a gentle lysis procedure. The absence of junction fragments indicates that pTR2030 forms high-molecular-weight multimers in lactococci. A phage-sensitive derivative of ME2, L. lactis N1, is cured of pTR2030 and no longer possesses the high-molecular-weight species. When pTR2030 was reintroduced to N1 via conjugation, an ME2-like phage-insensitive phenotype was restored. pTR2030 could remain as a detectable monomeric plasmid in the N1 transconjugants or could revert to the high-molecular-weight structure.
