The soil bacterium Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus Rü61a contains the linear plasmid pAL1, which codes for the degradation of 2-methylquinoline. Like other linear replicons of actinomycetes, pAL1 is characterized by short terminal inverted-repeat sequences and terminal proteins (TPpAL1) covalently attached to its 5' ends. TPpAL1, encoded by the pAL1.102 gene, interacts in vivo with the protein encoded by pAL1.101. Bioinformatic analysis of the pAL1.101 protein, which comprises 1,707 amino acids, ...[more]
