Cloning, physical mapping and expression of chromosomal genes specifying degradation of the herbicide 2,4,5-T by Pseudomonas cepacia AC1100

A genomic library of total DNA of Pseudomonas cepacia AC1100 was constructed on a broad-host-range cosmid vector pCP13 in Escherichia coli AC80. A 25-kb segment was isolated from the library which complemented a Tn5-generated, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid-negative (2,4,5-T-) mutant, P. cepacia PT88. This mutation was partially characterized and appeared to be lacking functional enzyme required for metabolism of an intermediate of the 2,4,5-T pathway, recently identified as 5-chloro-1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene [Chapman et al., Abstr. Soc. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. USA 8 (1987) 127]. A simple colorimetric assay was developed to detect the presence of this active enzyme in intact cells and was used to determine the expression of complementing genes. Subcloning experiments showed that a 4-kb BamHI-PstI fragment and a 290-bp PstI-EcoRI fragment, separated by 1.3-kb, were required for complementation. Both fragments are identified to be chromosomal in origin. Hybridization studies using the subcloned fragments revealed that in addition to a Tn5 insertion, mutant PT88 contained an extensive chromosomal deletion accounting for its 2,4,5-T- phenotype. The cloned fragments did not show homology to plasmid DNAs carrying degradative genes for toluene, naphthalene and 3-chlorobenzoate.     

Analysis of transposable elements inserted in the genomes of bacteriophages Mu and P1.

We have examined the genomes of the temperate bacteriophages Mu and P1 and some of their insertion mutants for hybridization with the prokaryotic transposable elements IS1 and IS2. We used the DNA blotting-hybridization technique in which denatured DNA fragments are transferred to nitrocellulose paper directly from agarose gels and hybridized to 32P-labeled probe DNA. The 800 base pair insertion in an X mutant of Mu was found to hybridize with IS1. The chloramphenicol resistance transposon, Tn9, in Mu X cam mutants was found to be located at or close to the sites of IS1 insertion in X mutants; Tn9 also hybridized with IS1. The restriction endonuclease BalI cleaved IS1 once; it cleaved Tn9 in all Mu X cam mutants twice to release a fragment of about 1700 base pairs. These results support the conclusion that Tn9 contains one copy of IS1 at each end. In the P1cam isolate, from which Tn9 was transposed to Mu, BalI made a third cut in Tn9 giving rise to fragments of about 850 base pairs. The data further suggested that Tn9 is present in tandem copies in the P1cam isolate we examined. P1 itself was found to harbor IS1. The two P1 strains tested had a common fragment containing IS1; one strain had an additional copy of IS1. The IS1 element common to the P1 strains was shown to be the site of the Tn9 insertion in the P1cam isolate examined. No hybridization between IS2 and any of the Mu and P1 strains could be detected.     

Physical and genetic mapping of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 genome: genome size, fragment identification, and gene localization.

Four restriction endonucleases, AseI (5'-ATTAAT), SpeI (5'-ACTAGT), DraI (5'-TTTAAA), and SnaBI (5'-TACGTA), generated DNA fragments of suitable size distributions for mapping the genome of Rhodobacter sphaeroides by transverse alternating field electrophoresis. AseI produced 17 fragments, ranging in size from 3 to 1,105 kilobases (kb), SpeI yielded 16 fragments (12 to 1,645 kb), DraI yielded at least 25 fragments (6 to 800 kb), and SnaBI generated 10 fragments (12 to 1,225 kb). A total genome size of approximately 4,400 +/- 112 kb was determined by summing the fragment lengths in each of the digests generated by using the different restriction endonucleases. The total genomic DNA consisted of chromosomal DNA (3,960 +/- 112 kb) and the five endogenous plasmids (approximately 450 kb total) whose cognate DNA fragments have been unambiguously identified. A number of genes have been physically mapped to the AseI-generated restriction endonuclease fragments of total genomic DNA by Southern hybridization analysis with either homologous or heterologous specific gene probes or, in the case of several auxotrophic and pigment-biosynthetic mutants apparently generated by Tn5, a Tn5-specific probe. Other genes have been mapped by a comparison with wild-type patterns of the electrophoretic banding patterns of the AseI-digested genomic DNA derived from mutants generated by the insertion of either kanamycin or spectinomycin-streptomycin resistance cartridges. The relative orientations, distance, and location of the pufBALMX, puhA, cycA, and pucBA operons have also been determined, as have been the relative orientations between prkB and hemT and between prkA and the fbc operon.     

黑曲霉pepB基因缺失菌株的构建及其功能分析

Specificity of Tn9 insertion into the genome of bacteriophage lambda att80 depending on its preceding location

It was shown that the site of previous integration (the donor site) of Tn9 affects the specificity of its next integration into the target molecule--phage lambda att80 DNA. The transposon integration sites were mapped by restriction and heteroduplex analysis following Tn9 transposition from chromosomal sites of Escherichia coli K-12 differing in location and Tn9 stability. When transposed from chromosomal galT::IS1 gene, Tn9 inserted into the site with coordinates 44,5 +/- 2 kb of lambda att80; when transposed from chromosomal attTn9A site, the transposon inserted into the sites with coordinates 31 +/- 0,7 kb or 33,3 +/- 0,5 kb. In the course of transposition of Tn9 from chromosomal attTn9N site the transposon inserted into the lambda att80 site with coordinates 26,5 +/- 5 kb. In the latter case, the increase of Tn9 single-stranded loop and the appearance of two new HindIII cleavage sites were observed in heteroduplex experiments. The data were interpreted as indicating structural rearrangements of Tn9 or linked sequences in the course of transposition.     

Cloning of the phospho-β-galactosidase gene in Escherichia coli from lactose-negative mutants of Streptococcus mutans isolated following random mutagenesis with plasmid pVA891 clone banks

Abstract In order to mutagenize Streptococcus mutans a marker rescue plasmid, pVA891, was employed. The plasmid was ligated with Sau 3AI digested chromosomal DNA fragments from S. mutans GS-5IS3 and the resultant plasmids were amplified in Escherichia coli . These plasmids were then randomly integrated into the chromosome of strain GS-5IS3 following transformation. Lactose-negative transformants were isolated as white colonies on lactose-BTR-Xgal agar plates containing erythromycin. Six lactose-negative mutants representing three different chromosomal sites of integration were isolated from about eight thousand transformants. Mutant chromosomal DNA fragments flanking the plasmids were recovered by a marker-rescue method in E. coli and exhibited phospho-β-galactosidase activity.     

Identification and mapping of nitrogen fixation genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus: duplication of a nifA-nifB region.

Rhodobacter capsulatus mutants unable to fix nitrogen were isolated by random transposon Tn5 mutagenesis. The Tn5 insertion sites of 30 Nif- mutants were mapped within three unlinked chromosomal regions designated A, B, and C. The majority of Tn5 insertions (21 mutants) map within nif region A, characterized by two ClaI fragments of 2.5 and 25 kilobases (kb). The 17-kb ClaI fragment of nif region B contains six nif::Tn5 insertions, and the three remaining mutations are located on a 32-kb ClaI fragment of nif region C. Hybridization experiments using all 17 Klebsiella pneumoniae nif genes individually as probes revealed homology to nifE, nifS, nifA, and nifB in nif region A. The nifHDK genes were localized in nif region B. About 2 kb away from this operon, a second copy of the DNA fragments homologous to nifA and nifB, originally found in nif region A, was identified.     

Sheep elastin genes. Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 9.9-kilobase genomic clone

A sheep genomic library containing sheep DNA in the bacteriophage vector Charon 4A was screened for elastin-gene sequences with partially purified, 32P-labelled elastin mRNA (mRNAE). A recombinant containing a 9.9-kb (kilobase) insert was selected from several positive clones by secondary and tertiary screening for further characterization. Positive identification of this elastin clone, designated SE1, was made with radiolabelled mRNAE by hydridization-selected translation and Southern blotting of restriction-enzyme fragments of SE1 DNA. Hybridization of either mRNAE or elastin complementary DNA to restriction fragments of SE1 showed that most of these fragments of SE1 contained elastin-coding sequences. Orientation of the insert was established by preferential hybridization of a short complementary elastin DNA to restriction fragments adjacent to the right arm of Charon 4A. Reciprocal hybridizations of nick-translated SE1 and sheep genomic DNA on Southern blots showed that two restriction fragments of SE1 contained sequence elements which were repeated at high frequency in a restriction-endonuclease-EcoR1 digest of total sheep genomic DNA. In the accompanying paper [Davidson, Shibahara, Boyd, Mason, Tolstoshev & Crystal (1984) Biochem. J. 220, 653-663], it is shown that a subcloned fragment of this elastin gene quantitatively and specifically hybridized to mRNAE sequences in sheep tissue RNA. Electron microscopy of SE1-mRNAE hybrids indicated the presence of at least seven large R-loops. Measurements of these structures indicated that SE1 is likely to contain less than 2 kb of coding sequence and more than 8 kb of intervening sequence, with an average exon size of 120 base-pairs. Thus the elastin gene is distributed over an extended region of the sheep genome and contains numerous intervening and coding sequences.     

Construction of Genetic Fingerprints of Aneurolepidium chinensis Using Microsatellite Sequences

Five size 2325,1455,876,774 and 299 bp fragments were amplified when (GGAT) 4 was used, indicating satisfied results were obtained.
