Lagging-strand origins of the promiscuous plasmid pMV158: physical and functional characterization
Article Abstract:
Analysis of the streptococcal plasmid pMV158 regions that participate in the single strand (SS)-double strand (ds) conversion reveals the involvement of the recombination site RSB and a consensus 6 base sequence in the conversion in Streptococcus pneumoniae. The conversion originating from both sites is initiated by RNA polymerase. Deletion and mutational analyses reveal that one of the two sites are present in a highly structured non-coding 199 bp region.

Conjugal transfer of plasmid pMV158: uncoupling of the pMV158 origin of transfer from the mobilization gene mobM, and modulation of pMV158 transfer in Escherichia coli mediated by IncP plasmids
Article Abstract:
The uncoupling of the mobM gene on the pMV158 streptococcal plasmid from its origin of transfer site is described. The transfer of the pMV158 into E. coli required the IncW R388 or the IncP RP4 plasmids.
