Abstract
Streptomyces bambergiensis S712 harbours a giant linear plasmid PSB1 of 640 kb. After mating with the plasmidless S. lividans strain TK64, conjugants carrying a smaller extrachromosomal DNA element, pBL1, were identified. pBL1 is a 43-kb linear DNA molecule bound to a protein which protects it from attack by both 3'- and 5'-exonucleases. The absence of this protein drastically reduces the transforming efficiency of pBL1. pBL1 shares homology with linear plasmids and chromosomal DNA from S. bambergiensis strains.Entities:
