Complementation with <em>resP</em> genes from two different <em>C. perfringens</em> plasmids demonstrated that only closely related <em>resP</em> genes can complement the mutation on pCW3. The function of ResP <em>in vivo</em> was examined using an <em>Escherichia coli</em> model system, which determined that two directly repeated <em>res</em><span> sites were required for the resolution of DNA and that ResP could resolve multimeric plasmid forms into monomeric units. Based on these findings we concluded that ResP could catalyse the resolution of plasmid multimers and was required for the maintenance of Tcp plasmids within </span><em>C. perfringens.</em> Overall, the results of this study have significant implications for our understanding of the maintenance of toxin-encoding plasmids within <em>C. perfringens</em>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49689,"journal":{"name":"Plasmid","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.plasmid.2019.102461","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42661560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
