Phage phi AR29 was shown to exist as a prophage integrated into the chromosome of Prevotella ruminicola AR29. By DNA hybridization studies, the point of integrative recombination on the phage genome (attP) was located on a 4.5 kb EcoRV fragment. After preliminary mapping with restriction endonucleases, a 2.8 kb EcoRV/HindIII fragment was isolated, cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. DNA hybridization localized the attP site to the vicinity of an internal DraI site. Sequence analysis showed the presence of several direct and inverted repeats around the attP site, with consensus core sequences similar to the integrase binding sites of phage lambda. Two open reading frames are present adjacent to attP (ORF1 and ORF2). The predicted polypeptide product of ORF1 has a region of structural similarity to known integrases. Although the predicted product of ORF2 shows at best weak homology with known excisionases, no other ORFs occur in the sequence upstream from ORF1, leaving ORF2 as the most likely candidate for this role. However, if ORF2 does represent an xis gene, then this putative integration module would possess a notable difference from that of other temperate phages in the inversion of the positions of int and xis relative to attP. The proposed phi AR29 integration module is being used to develop phage-based integrative vector systems for the genetic manipulation of rumen bacteria.
