The SRM12/ADA1 Gene Sequence Inserted into Recombinant Plasmids Makes Them More Mitotically Stable in Budding Yeast Cells

TheSRM12/ADA1 gene sequence inserted into a recombinant circular plasmid improves its maintenance in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells. Plasmid stabilization caused by the integrated SRM12 sequence does not require the SRM12 function complementing the srm12 mutation and depends on the orientation of the inserted sequence in the vector. This stabilization is mainly due to a decrease in spontaneous plasmid underreplication/copy loss rather than an increase in the fidelity of mitotic plasmid segregation.

pYEMF,a pUC18-Derived <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xcm</Emphasis>I T-Vector for Efficient Cloning of PCR Products

A 1330-bp DNA sequence with two XcmI cassettes was inserted into pUC18 to construct an efficient XcmI T-vector parent plasmid, pYEMF. The large size of the inserted DNA fragment improved T-vector cleavage efficiency, and guaranteed good separation of the molecular components after restriction digestion. The pYEMF-T-vector generated from parent plasmid pYEMF permits blue/white colony screening; cloning efficiency analysis showed that most white colonies (>75%) were putative transformants which carried the cloning product. The sequence analysis and design approach presented here will facilitate applications in the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering.     

Formation of MboII vectors and cassettes using asymmetric MboII linkers

Class-IIS restriction endonucleases such as MboII cleave DNA at a specified distance away from their recognition sequences. This feature was exploited to cleave DNA at previously inaccessible locations by preparing special asymmetric linker/adapters containing the MboII recognition sequence. These could be joined to DNA fragments and subsequently cleaved by MboII. Attachment of a 3' phosphate to one of the two different oligodeoxynucleotides comprising the asymmetric duplex prevented ligation at the improper end of the linker. Plasmids were constructed containing a unique BamHI or BclI site between the recognition and cleavage site of MboII. These sites were used to introduce a foreign fragment into the plasmid at a position permitting MboII to cleave within the newly inserted fragment. Once cleaved at the unique MboII site, another DNA fragment was inserted. DNA was thus inserted at a sequence not previously accessible to specific cleavage by a restriction enzyme. A cassette containing an identifiable marker, the lac operator, between two oppositely oriented MboII/BamHI linkers was made and tested in a random insertion linker mutagenesis experiment.

Cloning and expression of the Clostridium thermocellum gene in cyanobacteria Anacystis nidulans R2 cells]

The XhoI-SalGI fragment of the plasmid pCI DNA was inserted into the SalGI site of the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans R2 integrative vector plasmid pIAH4.

The recombinant plasmid DNA was transformed into Anacystis nidulans R2 cells. The cloned endoglucanase gene was shown to express in the cyanobacterium cells. The enzyme synthesized is accumulated within the cytoplasm of Anacystis nidulans cells and is not secreted into the periplasm.     

Protease II from Escherichia coli: sequencing and expression of the enzyme gene and characterization of the expressed enzyme.

Protease II gene of Escherichia coli HB101 was cloned and expressed in E. coli JM83. The transformant harboring a hybrid plasmid, pPROII-12, with a 2.4 kbp fragment showed 90-fold higher enzyme activity than the host. The whole nucleotide sequence of the inserted fragment of plasmid pPROII-12 was clarified by the dideoxy chain-terminating method. The sequence that encoded the mature enzyme protein was found to start at an ATG codon, as judged by comparison with amino terminal protein sequencing. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 81,858 from the nucleotide sequence. The reactive serine residue of protease II was identified as Ser-532 with tritium DFP. The sequence around the serine residue is coincident with the common sequence of Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly, which has been found in the active site of serine proteases. Except for this region, protease II showed no significant sequence homology with E. coli serine proteases, protease IV and protease La (lon gene), or other known families of serine proteases. However, 25.3% homology was observed between protease II and prolyl endopeptidase from porcine brain. Although the substrate specificities of these two enzymes are quite different, it seems possible to classify protease II as a member of the prolyl endopeptidase family from the structural point of view.

A novel, single plasmid, approach to in-frame fusion.

The sequence GCGCGCGCGC contains three overlapping, mutually exclusive, BssHII restriction sites, each corresponding to one of the three different reading frames. When inserted into a plasmid and digested with BssHII, the three sites in this sequence are cleaved at an approximate ratio of 2:1:2. Consequently, this system can be used to simplify in vitro in frame fusions to involve a single plasmid. We have constructed such a plasmid and used it to select an open reading frame in a 1.6 kb cDNA fragment.
