Streptomyces bambergiensis S712 harbours a giant linear plasmid PSB1 of 640 kb. After mating with the plasmidless S. lividans strain TK64, conjugants carrying a smaller extrachromosomal DNA element, pBL1, were identified. pBL1 is a 43-kb linear DNA molecule bound to a protein which protects it from attack by both 3'- and 5'-exonucleases. The absence of this protein drastically reduces the transforming efficiency of pBL1. pBL1 shares homology with linear plasmids and chromosomal DNA from S. bambergiensis strains.
班贝格链霉菌S712含有一个640 kb的巨大线性质粒PSB1。与无质粒的淡紫链霉菌菌株TK64接合后,鉴定出携带一个较小的染色体外DNA元件pBL1的接合子。pBL1是一个43 kb的线性DNA分子,与一种蛋白质结合,该蛋白质可保护它免受3'-和5'-核酸外切酶的攻击。这种蛋白质的缺失会大幅降低pBL1的转化效率。pBL1与班贝格链霉菌菌株的线性质粒和染色体DNA具有同源性。
