Linear plasmids of Borrelia burgdorferi have a telomeric structure and sequence similar to those of a eukaryotic virus

1 Nov 1991

Abstract excerpt

Spirochetes of the genus Borrelia have double-stranded linear plasmids with covalently closed ends. The physical nature of the terminal connections was determined for the 16-kb linear plasmid of the B31 strain of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi. Native telomeric fragments representing the left and right ends of this plasmid were isolated and subjected to Maxam-Gilbert sequence analysis. At the plasmid...
