Journal ArticleDOI
Mobility of Plasmids
Christopher Smillie,M. Pilar Garcillán-Barcia,M. Victoria Francia,Eduardo P. C. Rocha,Fernando de la Cruz +4 more
TL;DR: A computational protocol was established to identify and classify conjugation and mobilization genetic modules in 1,730 plasmids, suggesting the existence of unsuspected new relaxases in archaea and new conjugations systems in cyanobacteria and actinobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A classification scheme for mobilization regions of bacterial plasmids.
M. Victoria Francia,Athanasia Varsaki,M. Pilar Garcillán-Barcia,Amparo Latorre,Constantin Drainas,Fernando de la Cruz +5 more
TL;DR: The genetic organization of each family of mobilization regions is outlined, as well as the most relevant properties and relationships among their constituent encoded proteins, which constitutes a first approach to the characterization of the global gene pool of mobilize regions of small mobilizable plasmids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The IntI1 Integron Integrase Preferentially Binds Single-Stranded DNA of the attC Site
TL;DR: Preferential ssDNA binding can be a significant activity of IntI1 integrase, which suggests the utilization of extruded cruciforms in the reaction mechanisms leading to cassette excision and integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary sites for integration mediated by the Tn21 integrase
TL;DR: The integrase encoded by the integron of the transposon Tn21 can mediate the site‐specific fusion of two plasmids if there is a recombination hot spot (59 bp element) in one of them and the sequence GWTMW in the other.
Book ChapterDOI
Conjugation in Gram‐Positive Bacteria
Clewell Db,M. Victoria Francia +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses conjugatives systems in various gram-positive genera, and includes some discussion of conjugative transposons insofar as they assume a plasmid-like (circular) intermediate structure during movement.
