An 18,228-bp region containing open reading frames predicted to be derived from the IncP plasmid or phage ancestors is present in the genomes of Brucella suis biovars 1 to 4, B. canis, B. neotomae, and strains isolated from marine mammals, but not in B. melitensis, B. abortus, B. ovis, and B. suis biovar 5. The presence of circular excision intermediates and the results of an analysis of sequenced bacterial genomes suggest that the region downstream of the guaA gene is a hotspot for site-specific integration of foreign DNA mediated by a CP4-like integrase.
一个包含预测源自IncP质粒或噬菌体祖先的开放阅读框的18228碱基对区域存在于猪布鲁氏菌1至4型生物变种、犬布鲁氏菌、新墨西哥州布鲁氏菌以及从海洋哺乳动物分离出的菌株的基因组中,但在羊布鲁氏菌、牛布鲁氏菌、绵羊布鲁氏菌和猪布鲁氏菌5型生物变种中不存在。环状切除中间体的存在以及对已测序细菌基因组的分析结果表明,guaA基因下游区域是由CP4样整合酶介导的外源DNA位点特异性整合的热点。
