Summary A physical map of the actinophage VWB has been constructed using the restriction endonucleases BglII, ClaI, EcoRI, EcoRV, HindIII, KpnI and SphI. Phage VWB, genome size 47.3 kb, propagates on Streptomyces venezuelae, and it can also lysogenise this species. The three BglII-generated fragments of VWB DNA were cloned in pBR322, and subsequently mapped. In this manner the restriction map of the VWB phage genome was constructed.Abbreviations

A restriction fragment library containing Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) DNA was constructed by using the pBR322 plasmid as a vector. The library, which is representative of more than 95% of the viral genome, consists of 2 of the 7 BamHI fragments, 12 of the 24 HindIII fragments, and 23 of the 24 EcoRI fragments. The cloned fragments were characterized and used to generate physical maps of the genome by hybridizing nick-translated recombinant plasmid to Southern blots of AcNPV DNA digested with SmaI, BamHI, XhoI, PstI, HindIII, and EcoRI restriction endonucleases. This information was used to define our strain of AcNPV (HR3) with respect to other strains for which physical maps have been previously published. The hybridization data also indicate that reiteration of DNA sequences occurs at the HindIII-L and -Q regions of the genome. 相似文献
The temperate bacteriophage BK5-T was isolated from Streptococcus cremoris BK5 by induction with mitomycin C. Electron microscopy revealed that BK5-T DNA consists of linear molecules, ranging in size from 39.7 to 46 kilobase pairs. Restriction analysis of self-ligated BK5-T DNA showed that the ends of the DNA were not cohesive. The EcoRI restriction fragments of the phage genome were cloned into pACYC184. Restriction enzyme analysis of both the phage DNA and the cloned EcoRI fragments with EcoRI, BstEII, PstI, ClaI, and XbaI yielded a 37.6-kilobase-pair-long circular restriction map for the phage genome. It was concluded that the BK5-T DNA molecules in the population differ in their sequence by a circular permutation and that individual DNA molecules are terminally redundant. The map location of the sites at which packaging of BK5-T DNA into phage heads is initiated (pac) and at which the phage integrates into the bacterial chromosome (att) were established. 相似文献
The nopaline Ti-plasmid pTiC58 of Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 was characterized by restriction endonuclease analysis. Fragments generated by HindIII (52), HpaI (17), SmaI (37), KpnI (20), BamHI (>50), EcoRI (>50), and XbaI (9) were arranged into a circular map corresponding to a genome size of 132 × 106 D. The map was established by analysis of large overlapping plasmid segments of pTiC58 derived from a partial HindIII digest and cloned in the vector pBR322. Taken together, the segments present in the 33 hybrid plasmids obtained cover the entire pTiC58 DNA except for 2% located between map coordinates 22 and 24.7 T. The restriction map of the pTiC58 region containing the T-DNA is presented in greater detail. 相似文献
A genetic and physical map of Escherichia coli plasmid R538-1 was constructed using restriction endonucleases and molecular cloning techniques. R538-1 DNA was cleaved into 12 fragments by endonuclease · R · EcoRI, 6 fragments by endonuclease R · HindIII, and 3 fragments by endonuclease R · BamHI. The order of these fragments was determined by standard restriction fragment mapping techniques. Endo · R · EcoRI, endo · R · HindIII, endo · R · BamHI, and endo · R · PstI fragments obtained from R538-1 and ColE1-derived plasmids (pMB9, ColE1Apr, and pBR322) were ligated in vitro and used to transform E. coli C600. Transformants were selected for antibiotic resistance markers carried by R538-1. Analysis of the R538-1 fragments contained in these hybrid plasmids permitted the construction of a genetic map of the R538-1 plasmid. The genetic map of this plasmid is very similar to that of plasmid R100. 相似文献
Summary The 2 micron circular DNA from S. cerevisiae has been cloned on bacteriophage . The two forms of circular DNA which exist in equilibrium due to recombination between inverted repeat sequences were separated as stable clones, and a map of the targets for restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII and HpaI was constructed. The circular DNAs isolated from a particular oligomycin resistant strain and its parent oligomycin sensitive strain were compared by restriction endonuclease analysis, and no difference was detected. The potential uses of cloned 2 micron DNA in determining the possible biological role of these plasmids are considered. 相似文献
The root-inducing plasmid of the agropine type Agrobacterium rhizogenes 1855 was mapped by means of the restriction endonuclease EcoRI. The circular arrangement of the more than 60 fragments generated by this enzyme was established by electrophoretic analysis of pBR322 clones harboring overlapping segments of pRi1855 derived by partial digestion with EcoRI. A large region of the plasmid comprising the T-DNA was mapped with two additional enzymes, BamHI and HindIII, by means of Southern blot hybridizations between the fragments generated by the three enzymes. 相似文献
In order to determine its nucleotide sequence, human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) purified from term placentae was cloned in Escherichia coli using the plasmid vector pBR322. The products of an mtDNA MboI digestion (23 fragments ranging in size from 2800 to 25 base-pairs (bp)) were ligated with BamHI-cut pBR322. The ampicillin-resistant tetracycline-sensitive colonies obtained upon transformation of E. coli χ1776 were screened by agarose gel electrophoresis of colony lysates, colony hybridization and restriction analysis. All but MboI fragment 2 were obtained in this way. MboI fragments 5 and 8 were each found only once among the 705 clones screened. All other MboI fragments were approximately equally represented in the population of clones except for a slight bias towards smaller fragments. MboI fragment 2 overlaps with the mtDNA BamHI/EcoRI (1.7 kb3) and the 0.9 kb HinIII fragments. These were cloned in similarly restricted pBR322 to provide a set of clones covering most of the mtDNA molecule. Clones representative of each MboI fragment were shown to be complementary to mtDNA by hybridization to Southern blots of mtDNA digests and were thereby partially mapped. Further mapping was obtained by restriction analysis of mtDNA sequentially degraded by exonuclease III. A collection of recombinant clones has thus been obtained using the mtDNA isolated from a single placenta and is now being used to obtain a complete nucleotide sequence of human mtDNA. 相似文献
Hybrid plasmid pIM138 was constructed by insertion of a chromosomal fragment with the threonme operon fromEscherichia coli into the pBR322 vector. Molar mass of pIM138 was 2.8 Mg/mol. Heteroduplexes between pBR322 vector and pIM138 hybrid DNA molecules were prepared. The hybrid plasmid shows a high stability against the curing effect of rifampicin and clorobiocm inE. coli SK1590thr host. 相似文献
Summary DNA fragments of phage PM2 restricted with HindIII endonuclease was cloned in the vector pBR 322 in an Escherichia coli K 12 host. The attempt to clone full length PM2 DNA restricted with PstI endonuclease has been unsuccesful. From six randomly chosen recombinant clones DNA was purified and analysed with EcoRI, PstI and HindIII endonucleases. The physical map of three chimeric plasmids was unequivocally established. It was shown, that the whole PM2 genome was cloned, although in separate fragments. However, most of the recombinant clones were instable in the absence of selective pressure. 相似文献
A physical map of the streptococcal macrolides, lincomycin, and streptogramin B (MLS) resistance plasmid pDB101 was constructed using six different restriction endonucleases. Ten recognition sites were found for HindIII, seven for HindII, eight for HaeII, and one each for EcoRI, HpaII, and KpnI. The localization of the restriction cleavage sites was determined by double and triple digestions of the plasmid DNA or sequential digestions of partial cleavage products and isolated restriction fragments, and all sites were aligned with a single EcoRI reference site. Plasmid pDB101 meets all requirements essential for a potential molecular cloning vehicle in streptococci; i.e., single restriction sites, a MLS selection marker, and a multiple plasmid copy number. The vector plasmid described here makes it possible to clone selectively any fragment of DNA cleaved with EcoRI, HpaII, or KpnI, or since the sites are close to each other in map position, any combination of two of these restriction enzymes. 相似文献
Summary The modification genes of Flavobacterium okeanokoites and Haemophilus galinarum have been cloned into the vector pBR322 and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. FokI methylase gene is contained on a 3.80 kb piece of F. okeanokoites DNA. Plasmid constructs carrying this fragment of DNA are resistant to digestion by FokI restriction endonuclease but are sensitive to cleavage by HindIII, EcoRI and PstI. Unmodified DNA molecules, exposed in vitro to cell extracts prepared from cells habouring this plasmid, became resistant to digestion by FokI.The smallest HgaI methylase clone carries the pBR322 plasmid containing a 3.50 kb piece of H. galinarum DNA. This plasmid is resistant to digestion by HgaI.Neither the FokI nor the HgaI restriction endonuclease was detected in either clone. This is the first report of cloning modification genes whose protein products recognise asymmetric nucleotide sequences. 相似文献
Summary A partial EcoRI fragment of Bacillus coagulans DNA cloned in an Escherichia coli K12 bacteriophage host-vector system was shown to direct the synthesis of a thermostable -amylase whose activity could be detected in situ on petri plates using the iodine staining method. A 3.31 kb EcoRI fragment containing the active gene with its own promoter was subcloned in pBR322; in the new clone, called pAMY2, the amylase was shown to accumulate in the periplasmic space. The molecular weight of the enzyme, confirmed by in vivo labelling of plasmid products in minicells, was estimated to be 60000.The restriction map of the plasmid was determined for five restriction enzymes and two new plasmids with smaller DNA inserts were constructed, both directing the synthesis of amylase; one of them with a 2.2 kb PstI insert was shown to be responsible for the synthesis of a fused -lactamase--amylase protein with amylase activity. 相似文献
Summary Two Charon 4A lambda bacteriophage clones were characterized which contain all and part of the 18S ribosomal DNA of the rat. One clone contained two Eco RI fragments which include the whole 18S ribosomal RNA region and part of 28S ribosomal RNA region. The other clone contained an Eco RI fragment which covers part of 18S ribosomal RNA region. There were differences between the two clones in the non-transcribed spacer regions suggesting that there is heterogeneity in the non-transcribed spacer regions of rat ribosomal genes. The restriction map of the cloned mouse ribosomal DNA. Eco RI, Hind III, Pst I, and Bam HI sites in 18S ribosomal RNA region were in the same places in mouse and rat DNA but the restriction sites in the 5-spacer regions were different. 相似文献
Summary
EcoRI fragments of the 94 kilobase mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from young, wild type Podospora anserina were cloned into the EcoRI site of the E. coli plasmid vector pBR325. A complete EcoRI clone bank was developed, containing all 16 of the EcoRI fragments from the native mtDNA. Restriction endonuclease maps for the enzymes SalI, XhoI, BamHI, EcoRI, BglII, and HaeIII were constructed from the analysis of single, double, and triple restriction digests of cloned and native mtDNA. In constructing the maps data were refined by extensive Southern analysis of the native genome hybridized to cloned DNA probes. Restriction maps were analyzed and permitted us to locate the origin of mtDNA derived from senescent cultures.Both the large and small rRNA genes were then localized on these restriction maps using Southern and Northern blot analysis. We have shown the large rRNA locus to lie within a 10.8 kb region of EcoRI fragments E5 and E7, and the small rRNA locus to lie on a 5 kb subfragment of EcoRI fragment E1. The limit of separation between these two loci was determined to be between 6 and 9 kb.Surprisingly, when electrophoresed in agarose-CH3HgOH gels, the large rRNA was found to be 3.8 kb long, 500 bases longer than that from the very closely related Neurospora crassa, making it the largest rRNA yet described. 相似文献
Sea urchin (S. purpuratus) histone DNA of constructed plasmid chimeras cloned in E. coli was cleaved with the restriction endonucleases Eco RI, Hind III, Sal I, Bam I, and Hha I. The resulting fragments were ordered and isolated directly from agarose gels or cloned into other plasmids. Each fragment hybridized to one or another of the five histone mRNAs and elucidated the order of the histone genes in each of the cloned fragments. Some DNA did not hybridize to histone mRNAs and was identified as spacer DNA located between coding regions.Total sea urchin DNA was cleaved with restriction endonucleases, fractionated on agarose gels, and hybridized to histone mRNAs or histone DNA. The results revealed the order of the five histone genes in the histone gene repeat unit and demonstrate that the histone spacer DNAs have little sequence homology to other genes. Exonuclease III digestion of specific linear chimeric histone DNA plasmids followed by hybridization with mRNAs demonstrated the existence of all five histone genes on one strand of DNA and the 5′-3′ polarity of that strand. These results, in conjunction with the data of Wu et al. (1976), allow us to construct a map of coding and spacer sequences in the transcribed strand of the S. purpuratus histone gene repeat unit: 相似文献
