We have developed an oligonucleotide-mediated cloning technique based on homologous recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that allows precise DNA sequences to be transferred independent of restriction enzymes and PCR. In this procedure, linear DNA sequences are targeted to a chosen site in a yeast vector by DNA linkers, which consist of two partially overlapping oligonucleotides. The linkers contain relatively short regions of both yeast vector sequences and insert sequences, which stimulate homologous recombination between the vector and the insert. The linkers can also contain sequences not found in either the vector or the insert (e.g., sequences that encode ribosome binding sites, epitope tags, preferred codons, etc.), thus allowing modification of the transferred DNA. Linkers can be designed such that DNA sequences can be transferred with just two reusable universal oligonucleotides and two gene-specific oligonucleotides. This cloning method, which is performed by co-transforming yeast with linear vector, substrate DNA, and unannealed oligonucleotides, has been termed the yeast-based, oligonucleotide-mediated gap repair technique (YOGRT). 相似文献

Function studies of many proteins are waited to develop after genome sequencing. High‐throughout technology of gene cloning will strongly promote proteins' function studies. Here we describe a ligation‐independent cloning (LIC) method, which is based on the amplification of target gene and linear vector by PCR using phosphorothioate‐modified primers and the digestion of PCR products by λ exonuclease. The phosphorothioate inhibits the digestion and results in the generation of 3′ overhangs, which are designed to form complementary double‐stranded DNA between target gene and linear vector. We compared our phosphorothioate primer cloning methods with several LIC methods, including dU primer cloning, hybridization cloning, T4 DNA polymerase cloning, and in vivo recombination cloning. The cloning efficiency of these LIC methods are as follows: phosphorothioate primer cloning > dU primer cloning > hybridization cloning > T4 DNA polymerase cloning >> in vivo recombination cloning. Our result shows that the 3′ overhangs is a better cohesive end for LIC than 5′ overhang and the existence of 5′phosphate promotes DNA repair in Escherichia coli, resulting in the improvement of cloning efficiency of LIC. We succeeded in constructing 156 expression plasmids of Aeropyrum pernix genes within a week using our method. 相似文献

A new cloning vector pN15L is described. It is a linear 13.8 kb plasmid based on the coliphage N15 mini-replicon. The vector capacity exceeds 50 kb and the copy number is 250 per Escherichia coli chromosome. We show that some artificial and natural palindromes and approximately 5% of human DNA Bgl II fragments can be cloned effectively in linear vector pN15L, whereas they either sharply reduce the copy number of circular vector pUC19 or cannot be cloned at all. We conclude that pN15L may be usefully employed to clone large imperfect palindromes and some abnormal sequences of human DNA. 相似文献

The seamless ligation cloning extract (SLiCE) method is a novel seamless DNA cloning tool that utilizes homologous recombination activities in Escherichia coli cell lysates to assemble DNA fragments into a vector. Several laboratory E. coli strains can be used as a source for the SLiCE extract; therefore, the SLiCE-method is highly cost-effective.The SLiCE has sufficient cloning ability to support conventional DNA cloning, and can simultaneously incorporate two unpurified DNA fragments into vector. Recently, many seamless DNA cloning kits have become commercially available; these are generally very convenient, but expensive. In this study, we evaluated the cloning efficiencies between a simple and highly cost-effective SLiCE-method and a commercial kit under various molar ratios of insert DNA fragments to vector DNA. This assessment identified that the SLiCE from a laboratory E. coli strain yielded 30?85% of the colony formation rate of a commercially available seamless DNA cloning kit. The cloning efficiencies of both methods were highly effective, exhibiting over 80% success rate under all conditions examined. These results suggest that SLiCE from a laboratory E. coli strain can efficiently function as an effective alternative to commercially available seamless DNA cloning kits. 相似文献

Plasmid vector for cloning in Streptococcus pneumoniae and strategies for enrichment for recombinant plasmids 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A new plasmid, pLS101, was constructed for use as a vector for cloning in Streptococcus pneumoniae. This plasmid carries two selectable genes, tet and malM, each of which contains two or more restriction sites for cloning. Insertional inactivation of the malM gene allowed direct selection of TcRMal- clones containing recombinant plasmids. Other means of enriching a recipient population for cells containing recombinant plasmids were examined. The effect of removing vector terminal phosphate in attempts to clone heterogeneous DNA fragments, such as those from chromosomal DNA, was to abolish recombinant plasmid establishment altogether, presumably because donor DNA processing during entry into the cell prevented establishment of the hemiligated molecule. However, with homogeneous DNA fragments, such as those from plasmid or viral DNA, vector phosphate removal allowed enrichment for recombinant plasmids. In the cloning of heterogeneous DNA that was homologous to the recipient chromosome (i.e. chromosomal DNA from S. pneumoniae), recovery of recombinant plasmids could be enriched tenfold (relative to the regenerated vector) by the process of chromosomal facilitation of plasmid establishment. This involved an additional passage of the mixed plasmids in which interaction with the chromosome of plasmids containing chromosomal DNA inserts (i.e. recombinant plasmids) increased their frequency of establishment relative to the vector plasmid. An overall strategy for cloning in S. pneumoniae, depending on the nature of the fragment to be cloned, is proposed. 相似文献

报道了一种粘性末端的限制性酶切片段的直接克隆和测序的方法。对限制性酶切片段的粘性末端先用T4洲A聚合酶处理,变为平末端,然后用Taq^TM DNA聚合酶在其3′末端加上A腺苷,即可利用T/A克隆载体进行直接克隆测序。利用这种简单而快速的方法,对2个RFLP探针Psr680的限制性酶切片段(1.65kb和0.65kb)进行了测序,表明这种方法可以替代利用相应载体进行相应酶切等处理的粘性末端连接克隆测序的方法。 相似文献

The feasibility of using the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe , as a host for the propagation of cloned large fragments of human DNA has been investigated. Two acentric vector arms were utilized; these carry autonomously replicating sequences ( ars elements), selectable markers ( ura4(+) or LEU2 ) and 250 bp of S. pombe terminal telomeric repeats. All cloning was performed between the unique sites in both vector arms for the restriction endonuclease Not I. Initially the system was tested by converting six previously characterized cosmids from human chromosome 11p13 into a form that could be propagated in S.pombe as linear episomal elements of 50-60 kb in length. In all transformants analysed these cosmids were maintained intact. To test if larger fragments of human DNA could also be propagated total human DNA was digested with Not I and size fractionated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Fractions of 100-1000 kb were ligated to Not I-digested vector arms and transformed into S.pombe protoplasts in the presence of lipofectin. Prototrophic ura+leu+transformants were obtained which upon examination by PFGE were found to contain additional linear chromosomes migrating at between 100 and 500 kb with a copy number of 5-10 copies/cell. Hybridization analyses revealed that these additional bands contained human DNA. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses of several independent clones indicated that the inserts were derived from single loci within the human genome. These analyses clearly demonstrate that it is possible to clone large fragments of heterologous DNA in fission yeast using this S.p ombe artificial chromosome system which we have called SPARC. This vector-host system will complement the various other systems for cloning large DNA fragments. 相似文献

Direct cloning of a long continuous genome segment in a Bacillus subtilis genome vector was demonstrated for the first time. Two small DNA fragments had to be installed in the vector prior to cloning. The DNA between these two fragments was cloned via homologous recombination. The efficiency of cloning was estimated using the 3,573-kb genome of a cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Recombinants were selected using the internal selection system of the Bacillus genome vector or with the antibiotic resistance marker in the cyanobacterial genome. Designated genomic segments as large as 77-kb were cloned by means of a single procedure. Cloning efficiency is affected by the molecular weight of the donor DNA and the size of the DNA to be cloned. The method is suitable for direct target cloning of large-sized DNA. 相似文献

High-throughput genomics, proteomics and synthetic biology studies require ever more efficient and economical strategies to clone complex DNA libraries or variants of biological modules. In this paper, we provide a protocol for a sequence-independent approach for cloning complex individual or combinatorial DNA libraries, and routine or high-throughput cloning of single or multiple DNA fragments. The strategy, called circular polymerase extension cloning (CPEC), is based on polymerase overlap extension and is therefore free of restriction digestion, ligation or single-stranded homologous recombination. CPEC is highly efficient, accurate and user friendly. Once the inserts and the linear vector have been prepared, the CPEC reaction can be completed in 10 min to 3 h, depending on the complexity of the gene libraries. 相似文献

A procedure was devised for sequential cloning of chromosomal DNA by cyclical integration and excision of a plasmid vector so that slightly overlapping chromosomal segments are successively cloned. The method depends on circular integration of the vector into the chromosome of a host nonpermissive for its replication, and on excision and reduction of a recombinant plasmid by use of an appropriately designed set of restriction enzyme sites in the vector. A vector suitable for cloning in Escherichia coli was constructed by combining a segment of pBR322 with a gene encoding chloramphenicol resistance expressible in many species. Sequential cloning was demonstrated in Streptococcus pneumoniae by extending a previously cloned segment of the region of the chromosome encoding maltosaccharide utilization by 8 kb in three cycles of cloning. Accuracy of the method was confirmed by hybridization of cloned DNA with chromosomal restriction fragments. It is pointed out that the similarity of the requisite genetic processes in bacteria and yeasts should allow use of the method for sequential cloning of yeast chromosomal DNA and of human or other mammalian DNA in artificial chromosomes of yeast. 相似文献

Using nicking DNA endonuclease (NiDE), we developed a novel technique to clone DNA fragments into plasmids. We created a NiDE cassette consisting of two inverted NiDE substrate sites sandwiching an asymmetric four-base sequence, and NiDE cleavage resulted in 14-base single-stranded termini at both ends of the vector and insert. This method can therefore be used as a ligation-independent cloning strategy to generate recombinant constructs rapidly. In addition, we designed and constructed a simple and specific vector from an Escherichia coli plasmid back-bone to complement this cloning method. By cloning cDNAs into this modified vector, we confirmed the predicted feasibility and applicability of this cloning method. 相似文献

Universal TA cloning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
TA cloning is one of the simplest and most efficient methods for the cloning of PCR products. The procedure exploits the terminal transferase activity of certain thermophilic DNA polymerases, including Thermus aquaticus (Taq) polymerase. Taq polymerase has non-template dependent activity which preferentially adds a single adenosine to the 3'-ends of a double stranded DNA molecule, and thus most of the molecules PCR amplified by Taq polymerase possess single 3'-A overhangs. The use of a linearized "T-vector" which has single 3'-T overhangs on both ends allows direct, high-efficiency cloning of PCR products, facilitated by complementarity between the PCR product 3'-A overhangs and vector 3'-T overhangs. The TA cloning method can be easily modified so that the same T-vector can be used to clone any double-stranded DNA fragment, including PCR products amplified by any DNA polymerase, as well as all blunt- and sticky-ended DNA species. This technique is especially useful when compatible restriction sites are not available for the subcloning of DNA fragments from one vector to another. Directional cloning is made possible by appropriate hemi-phosphorylation of both the T-vectors and the inserts. With a single T-vector at hand, any DNA fragment can be cloned without compromising the cloning efficiency. The universal TA cloning method is thus both convenient and labor-saving. 相似文献

PCR fragments and linear vectors containing overlapping ends are easily assembled into a propagative plasmid by homologous recombination in Escherichia coli. Although this gap-repair cloning approach is straightforward, its existence is virtually unknown to most molecular biologists. To popularize this method, we tested critical parameters influencing the efficiency of PCR fragments cloning into PCR-amplified vectors by homologous recombination in the widely used E. coli strain DH5α. We found that the number of positive colonies after transformation increases with the length of overlap between the PCR fragment and linear vector. For most practical purposes, a 20 bp identity already ensures high-cloning yields. With an insert to vector ratio of 2:1, higher colony forming numbers are obtained when the amount of vector is in the range of 100 to 250 ng. An undesirable cloning background of empty vectors can be minimized during vector PCR amplification by applying a reduced amount of plasmid template or by using primers in which the 5′ termini are separated by a large gap. DpnI digestion of the plasmid template after PCR is also effective to decrease the background of negative colonies. We tested these optimized cloning parameters during the assembly of five independent DNA constructs and obtained 94% positive clones out of 100 colonies probed. We further demonstrated the efficient and simultaneous cloning of two PCR fragments into a vector. These results support the idea that homologous recombination in E. coli might be one of the most effective methods for cloning one or two PCR fragments. For its simplicity and high efficiency, we believe that recombinational cloning in E. coli has a great potential to become a routine procedure in most molecular biology-oriented laboratories. 相似文献

This paper describes the construction of 'Prime' cloning vectors, which include phage lambda and plasmid vectors useful for functional cloning in oocytes, yeast, and mammalian cells, and their use in a 'Prime' cloning system. The system takes advantage of the very active and precise 3' exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase to produce single-stranded (ss) ends (cut-back) of vector and insert DNA. This results in the highly efficient directional cloning of cDNA and PCR-amplified DNA. The system obviates the need to digest insert DNA with a restriction endonuclease to unveil cloning sites, and thus eliminates the chance of internal digestion of the insert DNA. The cloning of PCR-amplified DNA, which is sometimes difficult, is made routine with this system. The 'Prime' sequence is included in vector cloning sites and cDNA and PCR primers. The 'Prime' sequence was chosen so that the ss sticky ends are nonpalindromic and will hybridize only to the appropriate partners. This makes cloning with the 'Prime' system very efficient, because neither the vector nor insert DNA is lost to unproductive self-hybridization. 相似文献

The complete mouse mitochondrial genome (16.3 kb) was directly cloned into a Bacillus subtilis genome (BGM) vector. Two DNA segments of 2.06 and 2.14 kb that flank the internal 12 kb of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were subcloned into an Escherichia coli plasmid. Subsequent integration of the plasmid at the cloning locus of the BGM vector yielded a derivative specific for the targeted cloning of the internal 12-kb mtDNA region. The BGM vector took up mtDNA purified from mouse liver and integrated it by homologous recombination at the two preinstalled mtDNA-flanking sequences. The complete cloned mtDNA in the BGM vector was converted to a covalently closed circular (ccc) plasmid form via gene conversion in B. subtilis. The mtDNA carried on this plasmid was then isolated and transferred to E. coli. DNA sequence fidelity and stability through the BGM vector-mediated cloning process were confirmed. 相似文献

We constructed a series of cosmid vectors that carry the two cohesive end sites (cos) of lambda phage, arrayed in tandem, which enabled us to clone fragments of genomic DNA of up to 50 kb without a vector background. An equimolar mixture of the left and right vector arms of equal length was prepared from the vector DNA, simply by treating the DNA sequentially with three enzymes, restriction enzyme PvuII, alkaline phosphatase, and restriction enzyme BamHI (or BglII), without purification by agarose gel electrophoresis. After phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation, the equimolar mixture of the vector arms, which carried a single cos oriented from left to right, was directly ligated with insert DNA without further manipulation. We established conditions for cosmid cloning, using two kinds of DNA fragment of 40-50 kb, prepared from mouse L cell genomic DNA, as insert DNAs, namely, three cloned BamHI fragments and Sau3AI fragments, size-selected on a sucrose density gradient. The most important parameters affecting the cloning efficiency were the quality of the insert DNA and the molar ratio of the insert and vector arms. We achieved cloning efficiencies of 3.6 X 10(6)-1.3 X 10(7) colony forming units (cfu)/micrograms of insert DNA and 1.7 X 10(5)-1.0 X 10(6) cfu/micrograms of insert DNA, using the cloned BamHI fragments and the Sau3AI fragments, respectively. We examined more than 5000 clones and found that they all contained insert DNA. 相似文献
