title: The Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes plasmid pAP1 is a member of the pIJ101/pJV1 family of rolling circle replication plasmids.
abstract: The 2.4-kb plasmid pAP1 from Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes had sequence similarity within the putative replication protein and double-stranded origin with the pIJ101/pJV1 family of plasmids. pJGS84, a derivative of pAP1 containing a kanamycin resistance gene, was able to replicate in Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, as well as in A. pyogenes. Detection of single-stranded DNA intermediates of pJGS84 replication suggested that this plasmid replicates by the rolling circle mechanism.
