RESUMO
Covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with a molecular weight of 20 X 10(6) was identified in strains of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) of various fertility types. Hybridization studies and digestion by various restriction endonucleases indicated that the circular DNAs (pSH1) were identical regardless of the fertility type (UF, IF, or NF) of the strain from which it was isolated. The pSH1 DNA was cleaved to many fragments by the endonucleases HincII, SmaI, and SalI and to three or four fragments by BamHI and PstI. Plasmid pSH1 carries single sites for each of the two restriction enzymes, EcoRI and HindIII. These sites are 7.6 X 10(6) daltons apart. Attempts to isolate the fertility factor SCP1 as covalently closed circular DNA were unsuccessful. These data suggest that the biochemically isolated plasmid pSH1 is not identical to the genetically characterized fertility factor SCP1, which has been identified in an autonomous state in IF-type strains and in an integrated state in NF-type strains.
