Two promoter probe plasmid vectors, designated pIPP1 and pIPP2, were constructed from the existing plasmids pXE4 and pSET152. pIPP1 and 2 use the xylE gene of Pseudomonas putida as a reporter and can be transferred to streptomycetes by conjugation from Escherichia coli. The function of these plasmids as promoter probes was demonstrated in Streptomyces antibioticus and Streptomyces coelicolor using the phenoxazinone synthase and polynucleotide phosphorylase promoters from S. antibioticus. xylE activity could be detected in colonies on agar plates or via the in vitro assay for catechol dioxygenase. The integration into the S. antibioticus chromosome of the constructs containing the phsA promoter was verified by Southern blotting. The presence of the bla locus in pIPP1 allows the recovery of putative promoters by marker rescue. 相似文献

Vectors for cloning promoter-DNA fragments were derived from plasmid pBR313 (Bolivar et al., 1977). These have several unique restriction sites and carry the trpA gene from Escherichia coli as a selective marker. The selection is based on an enhancement of the growth rate of those bacteria in which the expression of trpA is directed by the cloned promoter. The expression of trpA can be determined quantitatively, independently of the copy number of the vector, and should reflect the apparent strength of the promoter, since the DNA segment located before trpA contains translational stop signals in all three reading frames. 相似文献

A series of promoter-probe plasmid vectors has been constructed which allows for the selection of DNA sequences containing divergent control elements. Each vector contains a pair of promoterless genes [encoding beta-galactosidase (lacZ), alkaline phosphatase (phoA), and bacterial luciferase (luxAB)] arranged in an antiparallel fashion and separated by a large intervening multiple cloning site. The vectors permit direct detection of promoter activity on indicator plates after transformation. Cloned promoters are selected based on production of coloured products in the case of lacZ and phoA, and by the emission of light in the case of luxAB. These vectors have been tested using known divergent promoter elements from pBR322 and Pseudomonas phage D3. 相似文献

Broad-host-range plasmid RK2-based promoter probe vectors with a known nucleotide sequence were constructed. In the absence of an upstream promoter, the expression of two tested reporter genes (luc and lacZ) in Escherichia coli was virtually zero, while insertion of the Ptrc promoter resulted in strong inducer-dependent expression. The lacZ-based vectors were mobilized into Pseudomonas fluorescens ST, Pseudomonas putida KT2442, Sphingomonas spp. and Burkholderia spp. LB400, and expression analyses indicated that the properties observed in E. coli are maintained across the species barriers. In addition, the previously established knowledge of RK2 molecular biology allows easy manipulations of features such as plasmid copy number, further extending the application potential of the vectors. 相似文献

We have constructed two new promoter probe vectors which carry a polylinker derived from plasmid pUC19 proximal to the 5' end of a promoter-less galactokinase gene. Using these two vectors we have demonstrated that the ColE3imm gene and the ColE8imm gene present on the ColE3-CA38 plasmid have their own promoters, independent of the SOS promoter of the colicin E3 structural gene. The activity of two terminators, one located proximal to the 5' end of the ColE8imm gene, the other located proximal to the 5' end of the lys gene, were shown by a comparison of the galactokinase activity conferred by several of the recombinant plasmids. 相似文献

为了构建人CD46(hCD46)启动子指导目的基因表达的真核表达载体,提取HeLa细胞基因组DNA,用PCR扩增出hCD46基因的启动子区域,序列分析结果表明其与GenBank中hCD46基因5’端某片段的同源性为99.9%。用此启动子替换pcDNA3EGFP中的CMV启动子,并在hCD46启动子和EGFP基因之间插入兔β-球蛋白基因第二内含子(RGI),得到的重组表达载体转染CHO和SP2/0两种鼠源细胞,流式细胞术检测表明CHO细胞EGFP的表达量高于SP2/0细胞,表达特性与人体CD46相似;RGI可以增强EGFP的表达量,但不改变其表达的组织特异性,提示克隆的hCD46启动子可以用于研制模拟人体CD46基因表达特性的转基因小鼠。 相似文献

Screening of promoters from metagenomic DNA and their use for the construction of expression vectors
Han SS Lee JY Kim WH Shin HJ Kim GJ 《Journal of microbiology and biotechnology》2008,18(10):1634-1640
This study was focused on the screening of valuable genetic resources, such as promoters from metagenome, and describes a promoter trapping system with a bidirectional probe concept, which can select promoters or operons from various biological resources including metagenomic DNA. A pair of reporters, GFP and DsRed, facing the opposite direction without promoters, is an effective system that can function regardless of the direction of inserted promoters. The feasibility of this system was tested for the isolation of constitutively expressed promoters in E. coli from a soil metagenome, resulting in a potential pool of various promoters for practical application. The analyses of structural organization of the trapped genes demonstrated that constitutively expressible promoters in E. coli were broadly distributed within the metagenome, and suggested that some promoters were useful for the construction of expression vectors. Based on these observations, three constitutive promoters were employed in the expression vector system and their potentials for practical application were evaluated in terms of expression level, protein solubility, and effects on host growth. 相似文献

The functionality of beta-galactosidase encoded by the E. coli lacZ gene as a reporter of gene expression in C. glabrata was investigated. C. glabrata/E. coli shuttle vectors were constructed, containing both a C. glabrata CEN-ARS cassette, to allow regular segregation and episomal replication of the plasmids, and the lacZ coding sequence of E. coli. The functionality of beta-galactosidase in C. glabrata was verified by inserting the promoter and the 5' coding region of the HIS3 gene from C. glabrata directionally upstream of the lacZ gene. By fusing the promoter of the copper-controlled MTII gene to the lacZ reporter, we showed that beta-galactosidase activity can be differentially induced in C. glabrata. beta-galactosidase reporter activities were detected qualitatively by an indirect filter assay and quantitatively from permeabilized cells. 相似文献

A series of plasmid-based promoter-probe vectors has been constructed which are particularly useful for the analysis of divergent control regions. Each vector contains a pair of divergently oriented indicator genes whose expression can be monitored over a wide range by simple assay methods. These genes are separated by different polylinkers. Specifically, the beta-galactosidase gene (lacZ) was employed in combination with either the galactokinase gene (galK) or the alkaline phosphatase gene (phoA). In all cases translational stop codons are present in all three reading frames upstream from the initiation codon. The vectors permit direct detection of promoters--independent of insert orientation--on indicator plates after transformation. Using this vector system, we further characterized the divergent tet control regions of transposon Tn10 and plasmid pBR322. 相似文献

We have constructed a series of broad-host-range plasmids which use "visual screens" to detect promoter activity. These plasmids contain the pMB1 and pRO1600 origins of replication and are capable of replicating in a wide range of gram-negative bacteria. The genes encoding beta-galactosidase and alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli and bacterial luciferase from Vibrio harveyi supply the promoterless indicator genes. The constructs were tested in E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 相似文献

Genetic manipulation in the mosquito larvicidal organismBacillus sphaericus has been hampered by a lack of effective molecular biological techniques and tools. Currently available vectors forBacillus subtilis are inappropriate as they are selected with antibiotics to whichB. sphaericus is naturally resistant. Construction of chimeras between theStaphylococcus aureus plasmid pE194 and theB. subtilis direct selection vector pBD214 permitted selection of plasmid transformants with erythromycin. As with pBD214, direct selection of recombinants is accomplished by insertional inactivation of the plasmid-borne thymidylate synthetase gene and subsequent selection with trimethoprim. 相似文献
