Conjugative plasmid transfer systems have been well studied, but very little is known about the recipient factors that control horizontal transmission. A self-transmissible IncP-9 naphthalene catabolic plasmid, NAH7, carries thetraFgene, whose product is considered to be a host-range modifier of NAH7, because itstraFdeletion mutant (NAH7dF) is transmissible fromPseudomonas putidatoP. putidaandEscherichia coliand fromE. colitoE. coli, but not fromE. colitoP. putida. In this study, transposon mutagenesis ofP. putidaKT2440 was performed to isolate the mutants that could receive NAH7dF fromE. coli. The mutants had the transposon insertions inptsPorptsO, encoding two of three components of the nitrogen-related phosphotransferase system (PTSNtr). The KT2440 derivative lackingptsN, encoding the remaining component of PTSNtr, was also able to receive NAH7dF. These results indicated that the PTSNtrinP. putidais involved in inhibition of conjugative transfer of NAH7dF fromE. coli. Our further experiments using site-directed mutants suggested the indirect involvement of the phosphorylated form of PtsO in the inhibition of the conjugative transfer. Conjugative transfer of NAH7 and another IncP-9 plasmid, pWW0, fromE. coliwas partially inhibited by the PtsO function in KT2440.
