Abstract: | The nucleotide sequence of a small plasmid, designated pSFD10, is isolated from the vaccine strain Salmonella choleraesuis C500 in China, has been determined. This plasmid is 4091 bp long with a total G+C content of 51.4%, which is in the range of Salmonella genomic DNA. Analysis of the complete nucleotide sequence reveals that pSFD10 has a high degree of similarity to ColE1-type plasmid, having the possible cer and rom genes, and a putative mobilization origin of ColE1-type. Plasmid pSFD10 possesses six main open reading frames (ORFs), five of which have a very high degree of amino acid identity to ColE1-type plasmid gene products involved in mobilization and copy number control. The other ORF (ORF6) encodes a putative protein, which has 49% homology to the invasion plasmid antigen J protein (IpaJ) secreted by the type III secretion apparatus of Shigella flexneri. In addition, pSFD10 belongs to a different incompatibility group than ColE1-type and pMB1-type to which it is related. Plasmid pSFD10 can be mobilized by the plasmid RP4 in E. coli. |
