Antiparallel plasmid-plasmid pairing may control P1 plasmid replication. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1991 The copy number of the P1 plasmid replicon is stringently controlled, giving only one or two copies per newborn cell. Control is achieved by the action of the copy-control locus incA, which contains nine repeats of the 19-basepair binding site for the plasmid-encoded initiator protein RepA.

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2019 Yersinia pestis belongs to those pathogenic bacteria which produce lipopolysaccharide (LPS) having the function of a toxin. In order to make a toxic effect the polymer must be separated from the cell outer membrane and presented to the immunocompetent ...

mBio, 2020 Mobile elements—plasmids and phages—are important components of microbial function and evolution via traits that they encode and their capacity to shuttle genetic material between species. We here report the unusually rich array of mobile elements within

Tigecycline-resistant Escherichia coli ST761 carrying tet(X4) in a pig farm, China
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characterization of tet(X4) in Escherichia coli isolates from a pig farm in Shanghai, China, and to elucidate tet(X4) dissemination mechanism in this swine farm. Forty-nine (80.33%) E.

Noise enhanced persistence in a biochemical regulatory network with feedback control [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 058105 (2008), 2007 We find that discrete noise of inhibiting (signal) molecules can greatly delay the extinction of plasmids in a plasmid replication system: a prototypical biochemical regulatory network. We calculate the probability distribution of the metastable state of the plasmids and show on this example that the reaction rate equations may fail in predicting the ...

Plasmid persistence: costs, benefits, and the plasmid paradox [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2018 Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA elements that can be found throughout bacteria, as well as in other domains of life. Nonetheless, the evolutionary processes underlying the persistence of plasmids are incompletely understood. Bacterial plasmids may encode genes for traits that are sometimes beneficial to their hosts, such as antimicrobial resistance ...

Predictive Modeling of Non-Viral Gene Transfer [PDF]
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 105, Issue 4, 805-813,
(2010), 2010 In non-viral gene delivery, the variance of transgenic expression stems from the low number of plasmids successfully transferred. Here, we experimentally determine Lipofectamine- and PEI-mediated exogenous gene expression distributions from single cell time-lapse analysis.

Guidelines for the estimation and reporting of plasmid conjugation rates [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Conjugation is a central characteristic of plasmid biology and an important mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. However, there is little consensus on how to accurately estimate and report plasmid conjugation rates, in part due to the wide range of available methods.
