Heat shock proteins play an important role in bacterial survival and response to environmental stress. We cloned thePrevotella loescheiiHSP70 homolog (dnaK) and characterized the coding sequence, regulatory regions, and evolutionary relationships to other bacteria. Predicted proteins encoded by theP. loescheii dnaKhomolog (open reading frame ORF-1) and two downstream coding regions, ORF-2 and ORF-3, are highly homologous to the proteins encoded by ORF-4 (dnaK), ORF-5, and ORF-6 from thednaKregion ofPorphyromonas gingivalis. ThednaKpromoter resembles other HSP (heat shock protein) promoters. Alignment of the predicted protein encoded by ORF-2 showed significant homology to theBacteroides fragilis tnpAgene from the transposon Tn4555, whereas the ORF-3 protein showed homology toB. fragilistransposase (Tn5220) and integrase (Tn4555) proteins. This suggests a transposition-like event may be responsible for transfer of these genes betweenPorphyromonasandPrevotella.
