Abstract：
:Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative anaerobic rod found in dental plaque biofilms, and is an opportunistic pathogen implicated in periodontitis as well as a wide range of systemic abscesses and infections. Genomic analyses of F. nucleatum indicate considerable genetic diversity and a prominent role for horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of the species. Several plasmids isolated from F. nucleatum, including pFN1, harbor relaxase gene homologs that may function in plasmid mobilization. In this investigation we examined the RP4-mediated mobilization properties of pFN1 and the prevalence of pFN1-related sequences in a panel of F. nucleatum clinical isolates. The fusobacterial plasmid pFN1 was mobilized by RP4 at a high frequency. Deletion analyses were used to delineate the core mobilon of pFN1, which consisted of the relaxase gene (rlx), an upstream open reading frame ORF4 and a region of DNA upstream of ORF4 with potential nic sites. To examine the prevalence of pFN1 in a panel of clinical isolates, total DNA isolated from the strains was hybridized with pFN1 replication (repA) and rlx gene probes. DNA from strains harboring plasmids known to be homologous to pFN1 hybridized with both the repA and rlx probes. Five additional strains were rlx-positive but repA-negative, indicating a greater prevalence of rlx-related genes in comparison with repA-related genes. Plasmid or plasmid-related sequences were identified in 11.5% of the strains examined. These findings demonstrate mobilization properties of a fusobacterial plasmid that may be important in horizontal gene transfer.
