The structural diversity of basic replicons and repB gene was analyzed for the first time in a large collection of IncP-7 plasmids by PCR, restriction endonuclease analysis, and partial sequencing. It was found that the DNA fragment that contains the gene for UvrD-like helicase RepB is a part of all known P-7 replicons, but often acts as a hot insertion spot for different IS-elements. Based on the detected divergence of the repA-oriV-parWABC nucleotide sequence, the first system of P-7 plasmid classification has been proposed. Most degradation plasmids were classified in the β subgroup; the streptomycin resistance plasmid Rms148 (IncP-7 archetype) was placed into the α subgroup. The γ subgroup included the carbazole degradation plasmid pCAR1 and NAH/SAL-plasmids from the pY line (Yamal oil deposits), and the CAP plasmid pBS270 with a presumably reduced P-7 replicon was classified into a tentative δ subgroup. It was shown that, in most cases, the character of molecular organization of IncP-7 basic replicons did not correlate with particular phenotypic traits; that is, a given P-7 subgroup can include plasmids that encode different phenotypic markers.
