High segregational stability of the streptococcal plasmid pSM19035 is achieved by the concerted action of systems involved in plasmid copy number control, multimer resolution, and postsegregational killing. In this study, we demonstrate the role of two genes, delta and omega, in plasmid stabilization by a partition mechanism. We show that these two genes can stabilize the native pSM19035 replicon as well as other theta- and sigma-type plasmids in Bacillus subtilis. In contrast to other known partition systems, in this case the two genes are transcribed separately; however, they are coregulated by the product of the parB-like gene omega. Analysis of mutants of the parA-like gene delta showed that the Walker A ATPase motif is necessary for plasmid stabilization. The ParB-like product of the omega gene binds to three regions containing repeated WATCACW heptamers, localized in the copS (regulation of plasmid copy number), delta, and omega promoter regions. We demonstrate that all three of these regions can cause partition-mediated incompatibility. Moreover, our data suggest that each of these could play the role of a centromere-like sequence. We conclude that delta and omega constitute a novel type of plasmid stabilization system.
