The plasmid-free strain Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris BC101 produced an extracellular proteinase physicochemically similar to the proteinase encoded by the plasmid-linked prtP gene of other lactococcal strains. The absence of detectable plasmids in strain BC101 indicated that the prtP proteinase gene may be chromosomally located. The chromosomal linkage of the prtP proteinase gene in BC101 was confirmed by pulsed-field electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA and hybridization, using as a probe the plasmid-linked prtP gene from L. lactis subsp. cremoris Wg2. The prtM gene necessary for the maturation of the proteinase was also chromosomally located adjacent to prtP in BC101. By using as a hybridization probe the ISS1-like element ISS1W, which is found adjacent to the proteinase genes in both pWV05 and pSK111, specific homology to the chromosomal fragment containing the proteinase gene was found. DNA sequencing of a polymerase chain reaction product of chromosomal DNA upstream from prtM revealed a 123-nucleotide sequence which was 100% identical to the equivalent sequence in the ISS1W-containing plasmid. The terminal inverted repeat (18 nucleotides) of the ISS1W element was found in this sequenced DNA. These findings suggest that the chromosomal proteinase gene is organized in a fashion similar to that of the plasmid-linked proteinase gene.

The plasmid-encoded lactococcal envelope-associated proteinase is encoded by a chromosomal gene in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris BC101
