Conservation of plasmid sequences can provide clues about the origin of the pXO2 plasmid and about potentially conserved gene functions.
B. thuringiensis AWO6 is a strain containing a 70 kb plasmid designated pAW63 [ 12 21 ] . This strain was derived from B. thuringiensis HD73 by curing of its crystal toxin bearing plasmid, pHT73 [ 12 21 ] . The pAW63 plasmid contains a replication complex that is classified as a member of the pAMB-1 family of theta replicating plasmids that are present in a broad range of Gram positive species [ 22 ] . Plasmid pXO2 also appears to be a pAMB1-like theta replicating plasmid [ 23 ] and elements surrounding the replication complex are present in both pXO2 and pAW63 (see pXO2 ORFs 35, 37, 38, 39 in Tables 2and 3).
Total genomic DNA from B. thuringiensis strain AWO6 hybridized with 23 pXO2 ORF fragments, including all ORFs tested in the region between ORF 5 and ORF 38 (Table 3).
PCR was performed using template DNA from 11 Bacillus isolates that vary in relatedness to B. anthracis with primer sets designed to amplify DNA fragments from 47 different pXO2 ORFs.
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to separate plasmid and chromosomal DNA in B. thuringiensis AWO6, and a Southern hybridization blot using a mixed pool of pXO2-derived probes (ORFs 6, 10, 50, 63, 72, 81) was performed to determine if any of the ORFs were present on the pAW63 plasmid (Figure).
