摘要
The RS1 element associated with Vibrio choiei ne CTX Phi prophage was cloned from an El Tor biotype Vibrio cholerae strain. We used the recA(-) vaccine strain Peru-15, that lacks the target for RS-mediated site-specific integration. to show that RS1 promotes autonomous replication of a suicide vector. A linker insertion in the rstR open reading frame abolished autonomous replication in Peru-15 but not in a strain containing an RS1 in the chromosome. An AT-rich region containing cis-acting elements involved in autonomous replication was identified by deletion. This region was sufficient to support autonomous replication in a strain containing an RS1 in the chromosome. DNA sequence analysis of a region resent in RS1 and not RS2. revealed the presence of putative binding sites for host proteins involved in plasmid replication. These results indicate that RS1 contains a replicon distinct from RS2 which could be involved in replicative recombination events associated with tandem amplification of the CTX element.
