Summary In order to isolate a DNA fragment able to complement a sporulation-deficient mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a simple screening procedure was devised which was based on the difference in osmotic sensitivity between protoplasts and spores. A plasmid (pHT7) containing a 13 kb DNA insert that complemented the spoT7 mutation was isolated from a yeast genomic library prepared in the vector YEp13. Gene spoT7 was linked to rna1 at 1.2 cM and to mak27 at 7.2 cM on the right arm of chromosome XIII. Mapping of the cloned gene following integration into the chromosome showed that the cloned gene was allelic to spoT7 and that a part of the RNA1 gene was also cloned into the same fragment. Gene spoT7 was localized on a 5 kb DNA fragment by further subcloning.Abbreviations kb

Summary A 15.2 kb DNA fragment was isolated from Rhodobacter capsulatus (ex. Rhodopseudomonas capsulata), which was able to complement mutations both in a nifA-like regulatory gene and in the nifH gene. Physical mapping of this fragment revealed that the nifA-like gene was adjacent to, and downstream from, the nifHDK operon. Hybridization experiments were carried out using a cloned Klebsiella pneumoniae DNA fragment containing nifA and the flanking portions of nifB and nifL. This fragment failed to hybridize with a 2.15 kb HindIII fragment of R. capsulatus DNA containing the nifA-like gene, but hybridized instead with a 2.6 kb EcoRI fragment adjacent to the nifA-like gene. The homologous region was found to be located within the K. pneumoniae nifB gene. The adjacent 2.6 kb and 2.15 kb fragments also hybridized with each other, indicating the presence of repeated sequences in this region. 相似文献

Summary We have cloned the tolC gene of E. coli K-12 into pSF2124 by using transposon Tn10 as the marker to first isolate the relevant DNA fragment. The gene is on a 10.5 kb EcoRI fragment, and Tn5 insertion mutagenesis locates the gene near one end of this EcoRI fragment. An EcoRI-PstI fragment has been subcloned into pBR322 to facilitate further analysis of the gene.Abbreviations Tris

Enzymes that degrade glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) can help reveal the biological roles, structure, and mechanisms of GAGs. We cloned chondroitinase AC, which can degrade chondroitin sulfates A and C, from the genomic library of Bacteroides stercoris HJ-15 isolated from human intestine. The probe (1.4 kb) for the chondroitinase AC gene was prepared from the PCR product of the primers produced using two internal amino acid sequences of chondroitinase AC purified from B. stercoris HJ-15. Using this probe, a chondroitinase AC-positive, 4 kb DNA fragment was selected from pKF3 vector gene libraries containing 2.5–4.5 kb DNA fragments digested with HindIII. The amino acid sequence of the cloned chondroitinase AC showed 41% homology to that of Flavobacterium heparinum. The cloned chondroitinase AC gene was expressed under the T7 promoter of the expression vector, pET-26b(+), in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and purified using His bind column chromatography. The expressed chondroitinase AC potently degraded chondroitin sulfates A and C. 相似文献

Bacillus subtilis B7, a mutant which acquired gene amplification of the amyE-tmrB region, showed, as a result, hyperproductivity (about a 5- to 10-fold increase) of alpha-amylase and tunicamycin resistance. The mutational character was transferred to recipient cells by competence transformation. A 14-kilobase (kb) EcoRI chromosomal DNA fragment of strain B7 was found to have the transforming activity. We cloned a 6.4-kb EcoRI fragment on a phage vector lambda Charon 4A through a spontaneous deletion of 7.6 kb from the 14-kb fragment and subcloned a 1.6-kb HindIII fragment on pGR71. The cloned 6.4-kb EcoRI and 1.6-kb HindIII fragments retained the transforming activity of inducing gene amplification of the amyE-tmrB region. At the junction point (J) of the repeating units (16 kb), the tmrB gene was linked to a DNA region (M) located 4 kb upstream of amyE. The essential structure of the cloned, transforming (gene amplification-inducing) DNA was deduced to be that around J. The subcloned 1.6-kb HindIII fragment that retained the transforming activity was shown to be almost solely composed of the tmrB-J-M region. In addition, the DNA sequence around J was determined. 相似文献

A 4.6 kb DNA fragment was cloned from the DNA library ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes using a partial DNA fragment located in the downstream of promoter-PTH4 as probe. The experiments revealed that this DNA fragment consists ofsaw D gene and a 1.4 kbPvu II fragment which can accelerate mycelium formation ofS. ansochromogenes. The nucleotide sequence of 1.4 kb DNA fragment was determined and analysed; the result indicated that the fragment contains
one complete open reading frame (ORF) which encodes a protein with 213 amino acids, and this gene was designated assamfR. The deduced protein has 36% amino acid identities and 52% amino acid similarities in comparison with that encoded byhppR gene, which is involved in the regulation of catabolism for 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionate (3HPP) inRhodococcus globerulus. The function ofsamfR gene was studied using strategy of gene disruption, and the resultingsamfR mutant failed to form aerial hyphae and spores, its development and differentiation stopped at the stage of substrate mycelium
in contrast with wild type strain. The results showed that thesamfR gene is closely related toS. ansochromogenes differentiation.

The srnB+ gene, promoting stable RNA degradation at 42 C in the presence of rifampin, was cloned by using pBR322 as a vector; it was located on a 1.1-kilobase (kb) EcoRI/BamHI fragment between 1.4 and 2.5 kb of the F plasmid. The region between 93.3 and 4.0 kb of the F plasmid was physically mapped by using restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI, PstI, and SmaI, with reference to a standard HindIII site in IS3. An srnB1 mutant was isolated from a chimeric plasmid, pOY54, after treatment of its DNA with hydroxylamine. The srnB1 allele on the F fragment of the mutant plasmid was recessive to the wild-type allele. Thermal elevation of cell cultures to 39 C was high enough to promote RNA degradation in strain YS12 carrying plasmid pOY54. 相似文献

Summary Five DNA fragments carrying the thrB gene (homoserine kinase E.C. 2.7.1.39) of Brevibacterium lactofermentum were cloned by complementation of Escherichia coli thrB mutants using pBR322 as vector. All the cloned fragments contained a common 3.1 kb DNA sequence. The cloned fragments hybridized among themselves and with a 9 kb BamHI fragment of the chromosomal DNA of B. lactofermentum but not with the DNA of E. coli. None of the cloned fragments were able to complement thrA and thrC mutations of E. coli. Plasmids pULTH2, pULTH8 and pULTH11 had the cloned DNA fragments in the same orientation and were very stable. On the contrary, plasmid pULTH18 was very unstable and showed the DNA inserted in the opposite direction. E. coli minicells transformed with plasmids pULTH8 or pULTH11 (both carrying the common 3.1 kb fragment) synthesize a protein with an M

Summary Using methods of in vitro recombination we constructed hybrid plasmids that can suppress the increased methylmethane sulfonate sensitivity caused by alkB mutation. Since the cloned DNA fragment was mapped at 47 min on the Escherichia coli K12 genetic map, an area where the alkB gene is located, we concluded that the cloned DNA fragment contains the alkB gene itself but not other genes that suppress alkB mutation. Specific labeling of plasmid-encoded proteins by the maxicell method revealed that the alkB codes for a polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 27,000. Introduction of a small deletion into the alkB region of the bacterial chromosome resulted in inactivation of both the alkB and ada genes, thereby suggesting that the two genes are adjacent on the E. coli chromosome.Abbreviations Ap

Molecular cloning and expression of Corynebacterium glutamicum genes complementing Escherichia coli mutations thrA2 and ilvA was performed. It was demonstrated that the thrA2 gene of C. glutamicum is located close to thrB on EcoRI DNA fragment 4.1 kb long. The fragment was cloned in pUC18 vector. The thrA2 gene is expressed in the recombinant plasmid pOBT3 under control of the vector pUC18 Plac promoter. In E. coli minicells, the genes thrA2 and thrB determined synthesis of proteins of Mr 43kD and 25 kD, respectively. A gene complementing ilvA mutation of E. coli was identified in a library of EcoRI C. glutamicum DNA fragments. This library was constructed using plasmid vector. It was shown that the ilvA gene of C. glutamicum is located inside the 3.6 kb EcoRI fragment and is expressed using its own promoter. 相似文献

Summary The structural gene of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin type C (SPE C) was cloned from the chromosome of Streptococcus pyogenes strain T18P into Escherichia coli using pBR328 as the vector plasmid. Subcloning enabled the localization of the gene (speC) to a 1.7 kb fragment. Partially purified E. coli-derived SPE C and purified streptococcal-derived SPE C, were shown to have the same molecular weight (23 800) and biological activities. A DNA probe, prepared from cloned speC, cross-hybridized with the structural genes of SPE A and SPE B indicating relatedness at the nucleotide level. The speC-derived probe also hybridized to a fragment of CS112 bacteriophage DNA containing the phage attachment site. 相似文献

Chloramphenicol resistance in Streptomyces: cloning and characterization of a chloramphenicol hydrolase gene from Streptomyces venezuelae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A 6.5 kb DNA fragment containing a chloramphenicol-resistance gene of Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 was cloned in Streptomyces lividans M252 using the high-copy-number plasmid vector pIJ702. The gene was located within a 2.4 kb KpnI-SstI fragment of the cloned DNA and encoded an enzyme (chloramphenicol hydrolase) that catalysed removal of the dichloroacetyl moiety from the antibiotic. The deacylated product, p-nitrophenylserinol, was metabolized to p-nitrobenzyl alcohol and other compounds by enzymes present in S. lividans M252. Examination of the genomic DNA from several sources using the cloned 6.5 kb SstI fragment from S. venezuelae ISP5230 as a probe showed a hybridizing region in the DNA from S. venezuelae 13s but none in the DNA from another chloramphenicol producer, Streptomyces phaeochromogenes NRRLB 3559. The resistance phenotype was not expressed when the 6.5 kb SstI fragment or a subfragment was subcloned behind the lac-promoter of plasmid pTZ18R in Escherichia coli. 相似文献

The lipo-penicillinase (LIPEN) gene from an alkalophilic Bacillus sp. strain 170 was cloned in Escherichia coli using the vector pHSG399. A plasmid, pFAP121, was isolated from an ampicillin resistant transformant and the cloned LIPEN gene was found to be in a 2.2 kb DNA fragment. The nucleotide sequence of a 1.9 kb segment encoding the LIPEN was determined. This segment showed an open reading frame which would encode a polypeptide of 310 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of this LIPEN gene product has strong homology with those of the Bacillus cereus -lactamase III and Bacillus licheniformis penicillinase. 相似文献

Summary The obligate parasitic fungus, Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei, was found to harbour plasmid-like extrachromosomal DNA. A 1.35-kb fragment of this 9kb plasmid was cloned into the pUC12 vector. No homology was detected to nuclear or mitochondrial DNA. As only about half of the 27 isolates examined contained plasmid-like DNA, this appears to be inessential for fungal survival. The plasmid is frequent in European isolates and is found in both newly collected isolates and in isolates kept under laboratory conditions for many years. No correlation between presence of plasmid and specific avirulence/virulence genes was found. The plasmid appear to be located in the mitochondria. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and genetic mapping of the PET494 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Summary The activity of the nuclear gene PET494 is required to allow expression of the yeast mitochondrial gene oxi2. To aid the study of the mechanism of action of PET494 we have isolated this gene from yeast DNA. A clone bank of yeast DNA fragments in a yeast-E. coli shuttle vector was screened by transformation for a plasmid able to complement the pet494-1 amber mutation. A complementing plasmid was obtained that contained a unique 4.4 kb yeast sequence. This 4.4 kb sequence contains the PET494 gene. Integration of a plasmid containing it into chromosomal DNA by homologous recombination, and subsequent genetic analysis, demonstrated that the 4.4 kb fragment was tightly linked to the pet494-1 mutation. In addition, the corresponding 4.4 kb sequence isolated from a pet494-1 mutant failed to complement the mutation. A 2 kb fragment, subcloned from the original plasmid retained the ability to complement the mutation. The pet494-1 mutation maps to chromosome XIV between rna2 and lys9, approximately 2.4 cm from lys9. 相似文献

The beta-galactosidase gene from the chromosome of Streptococcus thermophilus, strain 6 kb, has been cloned on a vector plasmid pBR322. The corresponding gene has been found to be located on the Pst1 DNA fragment. The restriction map of this 6 kb fragment has been constructed. The shortening of the DNA fragment carrying the beta-galactosidase gene has been achieved by digestion of the recombinant derivative of pBR322 by the restriction endonuclease Sau3A under the conditions of incomplete hydrolysis. The obtained fragments have been cloned into the BamHI site in the berepliconed shuttle vector pCB20 for grampositive and gramnegative bacteria. The obtained recombinant plasmids contained the beta-galactosidase gene in the inserted fragments of different length. Expression of the cloned beta-galactosidase gene in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cells has been studied. 相似文献

Klebsiella oxytoca strain CCUG 15788, isolated from a mineral oil emulsion tank in Göteborg, Sweden, was found to be nickel-resistant (tolerating 10 mm NiCl2 in non-complexing mineral-gluconate media; inducible resistance). The nickel resistance determinants were transferred by helper-assisted conjugation to various strains of Escherichia coli and Citrobacter freundii and expressed to between 5 and 10 mm NiCl2. A 4.3 kb HindIII fragment was cloned from the genomic DNA of K. oxytoca. Ligated into the vector pSUP202, the fragment caused constitutive nickel resistance (of up to 3 or 10 mm Ni2+) in various E. coli strains. After cloning into the broad host range vector pVDZ'2 the fragment even expressed low nickel resistance in the transconjugant of Alcaligenes eutrophus AE104. With the 4.3 kb HindIII fragment as a biotinylated DNA probe it was shown by DNA-DNA hybridization that the nickel resistance determinant resides on the chromosome of K. oxytoca and not on its circular plasmid pKO1 (160 kb) or linear plasmid pKO2 (50 kb). Nickel resistance strongly correlated with the presence of the 4.3 kb HindIII fragment in the transconjugants. No homologies were detected when the nickel resistance determinants of other well-known nickel-resistant bacteria, such as A. eutrophus CH34 or A. denitrificans 4a-2, were used as target DNA. Among the 60 strains examined, positive signals only appeared with the 3.1 kb DNA fragment from A. xylosoxydans 31A and the genomic DNA of two enterobacterial strains (5-1 and 5–5) isolated from nickel-rich soil in New Caledonia. 相似文献

Five genes for tryptophan biosynthesis, trpE, trpD, trpC, trpB, and trpA of Brevibacterium lactofermentum, a coryne form glutamic acid-producing bacterium, were cloned as a 9.6 kb BamHl DNA fragment by colony hybridization. A previously cloned 1.2 kb Pst I DNA fragment containing a major part of the trpE gene was used as a probe. By complementation tests using the subclones of this 9.6 kb BamHl fragment and various tryptophan auxotrophs of B. lactofermentum and Escherichia coli, this fragment was found to contain a gene cluster composed of trpE, trpD, trpC, trpB, and trpA in this order. It suggests that genes for tryptophan biosynthesis in B. lactofermentum may be an operon. 相似文献

A 0.7 kilobase (kb) DNA fragment from the 5′ flanking region of a chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II B gene was cloned into chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter vectors and was transfected into a chicken macrophage
cell line that expresses a low level of MHC class II antigens. Positive orientation-dependent promoter activity of the chicken
DNA was evident in a reporter construct containing an SV40 enhancer. Deletion analysis of this 0.7 kb DNA fragment revealed
a short fragment in the 3′ end that was crucial for the promoter function and negative regulatory elements (NRE) located further upstream. The conserved MHC class II X and Y boxes did not have a significant effect on promoter activity. Sequence analysis of the 0.7 kb class II B gene upstream region suggests possible involvement of interferon (IFN), E twenty-six specific (ETS)-related proteins, and
other factors in regulating this promoter. A chicken T-cell line culture supernatant increased surface expression of MHC class
II antigens, as well as class II promoter activity, in this macrophage cell line. This first functional characterization of
a chicken MHC class II B gene promoter will aid in understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control the expression of these genes.

A 19 kb SphI DNA fragment containing the gene for the extracellular active-site serine beta-lactamase of Streptomyces cacaoi KCC-SO352 was cloned in Streptomyces lividans TK24 using the high-copy-number plasmid pIJ702 as vector. A 30-fold higher yield of beta-lactamase was obtained from S. lividans strain ML1, carrying the recombinant plasmid pDML51, than from S. cacaoi grown under optimal production conditions. In all respects (molecular mass, isoelectric point, kinetics of inhibition by beta-iodopenicillanate) the overproduced S. lividans ML1 beta-lactamase was identical to the original S. cacaoi enzyme. A considerable reduction of beta-lactamase production was caused by elimination of a 12.8 kb portion of the 19 kb DNA fragment by cleavage at an internal SphI site located more than 3 kb upstream of the beta-lactamase structural gene. The beta-lactamase gene was located within a 1.8 NcoI-BclI fragment but when this fragment was cloned in S. lividans pIJ702, the resulting strain produced hardly any more beta-lactamase than the original S. cacaoi. 相似文献
