RESUMO
Multiple drug resistance plasmid NR1 is shown to code for at least 10 low molecular weight RNAs. These species, ranging in size from 60 to 120 nucleotides, have been purified from minicells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and characterized by RNase T1 fingerprinting. Hybridization of purified RNAs to restriction endonuclease digests of NR1 DNA indicates that most are derived from the resistance transfer factor region of the plasmid genome. One RNA was found to be coded by the transposable tetracycline resistance element Tn10, and several are associated with DNA fragments that contain origins of replication.
