Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces linear plasmids start replication at centrally located loci, usually consisting of iterons and adjacent rep genes. Here, we identified four new replication loci from Streptomyces linear plasmids. A discontinuous locus, consisting of two genes and iterons separated by two nonessential genes, was required for replication of pRL2 in both linear and circular modes. A temperature-sensitive plasmid, pRL4,...
