Abstract

The 2,647-bp nucleotide sequence of cryptic plasmid pTD1, isolated from the oral spirochete Treponema denticola, was determined. The sequence revealed two open reading frames, A and B, which encode polypeptides of 335 and 235 amino acids, respectively. Open reading frame A shows sequence similarity to genes that encode replication proteins from a group of plasmids common in gram-positive bacteria, which replicate via a single-stranded intermediate.
