Pseudomonas' IncP-7 plasmids play significant role in the environmental biodegradative potential and sometimes carry antibiotic-resistance genes. Rms148 plasmid was used as archetypal P-7 plasmid in microbiological incompatibility studies for more then 30 years. However, the structure of its basic replicon was not described until now; furthermore, the phylogenetic relationships between all known plasmids within the IncP-7 group have not yet been studied. In the course of our study, we have constructed two pairs of primers to amplify the main components of the region of the initiation of P-7 replication, and the subsequent screening of repA intragenic polymorphism was performed using the laboratory collection of IncP-7 plasmids. The minimal replicon of Rms148 was determined and its nucleotide sequence was found to be 81-83% identical to repA-oriV of known P-7 plasmids and is considered to fall into a separate clade of the corresponding phylogenetic tree. Additionally, repA group members seem to be more conservative than the putative oriV region. The estimated amino acid sequence and predicted secondary and tertiary structures of Rms148 RepA protein allowed us to make the assumption that the initiation of replication in plasmids of the P-7 incompatibility group is described by the same model as for the unclassified cryptic plasmid pPS10.
