Summary Streptomyces glaucescens GLA000 contains the integrated 15 kb DNA element pIJ408 which, during mating of the parent strain with S. lividans, can be transferred into recipient cells. In S. lividans cells, pIJ408 was found in an autonomously replicating form and in a chromosomally integrated state. In the majority of the S. lividans transconjugants studied, a deletion derivative pIJ408. 1 (12.4 kb) occurred. The deletion form was found in some strains only as a free plasmid, in others it was also chromosomally integrated. The integration region of pIJ408 was subcloned and precisely mapped by hybridization, restriction and sequencing analyses. The DNA junction fragments of the integrated plasmid in S. glaucescens, as well as the DNA fragment containing the attachment site of the S. lividans chromosome, were also cloned, submitted to detailed restriction analysis and sequenced. The attachment site of pIJ408 (attP) and the junctions of its integrated form with the chromosomal DNA in S. glaucescens (attL and attR) contain an identical 43 bp sequence. The chromosomal attachment site in S. lividans (attB) differs from the S. glaucescens att sequence by a single base substitution. The similarities between attachment sites of SLP1, pMEA100, pSAM2 and pIJ408 are discussed.
