DNA sequence analysis of regions from plasmid pIP417 and chromosome BF8 which encode 5-nitroimidazole resistance in Bacteroides strains allowed the identification of two open reading frames corresponding to new genes, nimA (528 bp) and nimB (492 bp). Either gene may confer 5-nitroimidazole resistance to susceptible strains of Bacteroides. The encoded polypeptides have deduced molecular masses of 20.1 and 18.6 kDa, respectively, and share about 73% identity and 85% similarity. A new insertion sequence (IS) element named IS1168 lies 14 bases upstream of the nimA gene. The complete sequence of IS1168 was determined. A similar IS exists 12 bp upstream of the nimB gene. About 60% of the BF8 IS element was also sequenced and shown to be almost identical to IS1168.
对编码拟杆菌属菌株中5-硝基咪唑抗性的质粒pIP417和染色体BF8区域进行DNA序列分析,鉴定出两个与新基因相对应的开放阅读框,即nimA(528 bp)和nimB(492 bp)。任一基因均可使拟杆菌属敏感菌株产生5-硝基咪唑抗性。所编码的多肽推导分子量分别为20.1 kDa和18.6 kDa,序列一致性约为73%,相似性约为85%。一个名为IS1168的新插入序列元件位于nimA基因上游14个碱基处。测定了IS1168的完整序列。在nimB基因上游12 bp处存在一个相似的插入序列。还对BF8插入序列元件约60%的部分进行了测序,结果显示其与IS1168几乎相同。
