Thermus species YS45 harbors two small cryptic plasmids of 5.8 (pTsp45s) and approximately 12kb (pTsp45l). Plasmid pTsp45s has been entirely sequenced, revealing three significant ORFs. In addition to a previously reported thermophilic plasmid-encoded replication protein (Rep), pTsp45s contains two genes for the Tsp45I methyltransferase (M.Tsp45I) and restriction endonuclease (Tsp45I). These two converging genes (tsp45IM and tsp45IR) overlap by 4bp at their stop codons within an XbaI site. M.Tsp45I (413aa, 47.0kDa, recognizing 5′-GTSAC-3′) is highly homologous to other m6A-methyltransferases, especially M.EcaI (recognizing 5′-GGTNACC-3′). Tsp45I (332aa, 37.4kDa, cleaving 5′-↓GTSAC-3′) is not homologous to M.Tsp45I, or to other restriction endonucleases. Recombinant Tsp45I is stably produced in E. coli, and cleaves DNA at 65°C with the same specificity as the native enzyme. Therefore, the thermophilic Tsp45I restriction–modification system is plasmid-borne within its native host.
