[Identification of 3 genes in the F-plasmid of Escherichia coli K-12].
The F'argG plasmid and its two transfer-deficient (tra-) analogues have been used to analyse the pleiotropic effect of a mutation in the integrated F-factor of HfrC strain. This mutation has been shown to disturb the functioning of at least three plasmid genes constituting, probably, a single regulon: the rsf gene determining the production of recombination-stimulating factor via conjugation (RSF); the prt gene responsible for the protective effect of the plasmid against N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, methyl methanesulphonate and UV-irradiation; the rep gene the product of which can be involved in the control of Hfr-chromosome replication. Possible location and order of the genes in the F-plasmid are discussed.
