摘要

Plasmid RK2 codes for two species of the replication initiator protein TrfA (33 and 44 kDa). Both polypeptides are strongly associated with membrane fractions of Escherichia coli host cells (W. Firshein and P. Kim, Mol. Microbiol. 23, 1-10, 1997). We investigated the role of a 12-amino-acid hydrophobic region (HR) in the membrane association of TrfA. Epitope-tagged polypeptide fragments of TrfA that contained HR were expressed and found to be associated with membrane fractions. Site-directed mutagenesis of trfA revealed that changes of specific amino acids in HR can affect both TrfA association with the membrane and its ability to support replication of an RK2 oriV plasmid in vivo. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that membrane association of TrfA is functionally relevant and that the HR region of TrfA is involved in membrane association and DNA replication in vivo.
