La abundante presencia de fagos atenuados en el cromosoma de aislados clínicos de Streptococcus pneumoniae ha sido bien documentada. El genoma de MM1, un fago atemperado de neumococo, se ha aislado como un complejo de DNA-proteína. La proteína unida covalentemente al DNA, fue yodada in vitro con Na125I, y tiene una Mr de 22.000. La microscopia electrónica y los análisis enzimáticos revelaron que el genoma de MM1 es una colección de moléculas lineales de DNA de doble cadena, permutadas circularmente y redundantes en la posición terminal, empaquetadas mediante un mecanismo de ensamblado de unidades genómicas discretas. También proponemos la localización del sitio pac en dirección 3´ de la terminasa, entre orf32 y orf34 del genoma de MM1.
The abundant presence of temperate phages in the chromosomes of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae has been well documented. The genome of MM1, a temperate phage of pneumococcus, has been isolated as a DNA-protein complex. The protein is covalently bound to the DNA, was iodinated in vitro with Na125I, and has an Mr of 22,000. Electron microscopy and enzymatic analyses revealed that the MM1 genome is a linear, circularly permuted, terminally redundant collection of double-stranded DNA molecules packaged via a headful mechanism. The location of the pac site appears to be downstream of the terminase, between orf32 and orf34 of the MM1 genome.
