The spontaneous recovery of activity of tet gene deleted of the promoter region was studied. Plasmid pBRS188 was used as a model for studying this problem. The plasmid has the fragment of tet gene of pBR322, from which it originates, between the sites of restriction endonucleases EcoRI and HindIII cleavage resulting in inactivation of tet promoter. E. coli cells harbouring the plasmid were shown to revert the TcR phenotype with the frequency 10(-9). The gene activation coincided with intraplasmid recombination revealed by restriction analysis. In some cases the recovery of tet gene activity coincided with the formation of multimeric plasmids. 相似文献

Single-stranded hexameric linkers: a system for in-phase insertion mutagenesis and protein engineering 总被引:41,自引:0,他引:41
An efficient method for introducing two (or four) codons into a cloned gene has been developed. Single-stranded (ss) hexameric linkers are inserted into a plasmid linearized at cohesive-end restriction sites. The resultant 6 (or 12)-bp insertion creates a new 6-bp restriction site. Plasmids containing linker insertions are enriched by using biochemical selection, or selected by using a kanamycin-resistance (KmR) cassette (biological selection). A total of 57 new linkers have been designed, and compatible KmR cassettes flanked by eleven different restriction sites have been constructed. Two-codon insertions into the tetracycline-resistance (TcR) gene of pBR322 yielded a series of new plasmid vectors. Moreover, proteins with internally duplicated domains have been constructed from beta-lactamase (ApR) insertions into the ApR gene of pBR322. Some of the resulting "gemini" proteins retained the beta-lactamase activity. 相似文献

The maintenance of plasmid pBR322 is highly unstable in a polA12 strain of Escherichia coli at 29 degrees C due to severely reduced copy number. Under these conditions, introduction of the par (partition) locus of plasmid P1 or the par (sop) region of F into pBR322 stabilizes it. A region with similar activity was detected in the P7 plasmid. The activity of the P1 par locus was dependent on the P1 parA gene product and was sensitive to par-specified incompatibility. 相似文献

The copy number per cell mass of plasmid pBR322 and a rom- derivative was measured as a function of generation time. In fast growing cells the copy number per cell mass was virtually identical for rom+ and rom- derivatives. However, the copy number of pBR322 only increased 3- to 4-fold from a 20- to 80-min generation time, whereas the copy number of the rom- derivative increased 7- to 10-fold. The copy number stayed constant for the rom+ and rom- plasmids at generation times longer than 80-100 min. Thus, the presence of the rom gene decreased the copy number of plasmid pBR322 in slowly growing cells at least 2-fold when compared with the rom- plasmid. To study the effect of the rom gene in trans we cloned the gene into the compatible P15A-derived rom- plasmid pACYC184. In cells carrying both pACYC184 rom+ and pBR322 rom- the presence of the rom gene in trans had little effect on the copy number of pBR322 rom- at fast growth, but it decreased its copy number at slow growth to the same level as found for pBR322, i.e., complemented the pBR322 rom- plasmid. The pACYC184 plasmid and its rom+ derivatives showed copy numbers similar to those of pBR322 rom- and pBR322 itself, respectively, at fast and slow growth. We conclude that the rom gene product-the Rom protein-is an important element in copy number control of ColE1-type plasmids especially in slowly growing cells. 相似文献

Plasmid pBR322 DNA isolated from Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I deletion mutant DM800 is estimated to contain about 10% of the knotted forms (Shishido et al., 1987). These knotted DNA species were shown to have the same primary structure as usual, unknotted pBR322 DNA. Analysis of the knotting level of deletion, insertion and sequence-rearranged derivatives of pBR322 in DM800 showed that the presence of the region on pBR322 encoding resistance to tetracycline (tet) is required for high levels of plasmid knotting. When the entire tet region is present in a native orientation, the level of knotting is highest. Inactivating the tet promoter is manifested by a middle level of knotting. For deletion derivatives lacking various portions of the tet region, the level of knotting ranges from lowest to high depending on the site and length of the tet gene remaining. Inverting the orientation of tet region on the pBR322 genome results in a middle level of knotting. Deleting the ampicillin-resistance (bla)gene outside of its second promoter does not affect the level of knotting, if the entire tet gene remains. A possible mechanism of regulation of plasmid knotting is discussed. 相似文献

Plasmid cloning vectors resistant to ampicillin and tetracycline which can replicate in both E. coli and Haemophilus cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
We have constructed two plasmid vectors, pHCV5 and pHVTl, which will replicate both in Haemophilus and in Escherichia coli. Both contain the ampicillin-resistance gene and the replication origin from a Haemophilus plasmid, pRSF0885. Both also contain the pBR322 origin and therefore can be amplified in E. coli by chloramphenicol treatment. The plasmid pHCV5 contains the tetracycline-resistance gene of pBR322, and pHVT1 contains the analogous region from the transposon Tn10. 相似文献

Escherichia coli cells lysogenic for coliphage phi 80 stop adsorbing the superinfecting phi 80 phage after having been kept under anaerobic conditions for a long time, which conferred on these cells the TonA phenotype. To determine the location of the gene for lysogenic conversion (cor), BamHI fragments of phi 80 DNA were cloned in pBR322 plasmid. The cells transformed with the recombinant plasmid pDK01 = pBR322 + phi 80 BamHI fragment 1 immediately acquire the TonA phenotype. So, the cor gene(s) is contained in the central phi 80 BamHI fragment (fragment 1) which includes gene 13, the b2 region and the att site. 相似文献

Expression of tetracycline resistance in pBR322 derivatives reduces the reproductive fitness of plasmid-containing Escherichia coli 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Plasmid pBR322 and its numerous derivatives are used extensively for research and in biotechnology. The tetracycline-resistance (TcR) genes in these plasmids are expressed constitutively and cells carrying these plasmids are resistant to tetracycline. We have shown that expression of the TcR gene has an adverse effect on the reproductive fitness of plasmid-containing bacteria in both glucose-limited batch and chemostat cultures. If the TcR genes are inactivated at any one of three different restriction sites, mixed cultures of plasmid-free and plasmid-containing bacteria grow at the same rate. 相似文献

Cloning, restriction endonuclease mapping and post-transcriptional regulation of rpsA, the structural gene for ribosomal protein S1 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Transducing lambda phages have been isolated that carry segments of the Escherichia coli chromosome in the aspC region, 20.5 min on the E. coli map. One of these phages, lambda aspC2, carries rpsA, the structural gene for the ribosomal protein S1. A three kilobase fragment from this phage, cloned into either the plasmid pACYC184 or the plasmid pBR322, was found to express S1. In cells carrying the rpsA gene on the high copy number plasmid pBR322 the rate of rpsA mRNA synthesis was increased 40-fold, whereas the rate of protein S1 synthesis was doubled, in comparison with these rates in an rpsA haploid. 相似文献

The stringent response causes inhibition of replication of plasmid pBR322 in amino acid-starved Escherichia coli cells whereas in relaxed mutants the replication of this plasmid proceeds for several hours. On the basis of density shift experiments and pulse-labelling experiments we showed that most of the pBR322 molecules begin replication during the relaxed response and the rate of plasmid DNA synthesis in unstarved and isoleucine-starved relA
–] bacteria is similar. We found that the Rom function plays a key role in the stringent control of plasmid pBR322 replication, as insertional inactivation of the rom gene causes amplification of pBR322rom
– in both relA
– and relA
+ strains during amino acid starvation. Moreover, pUC19, which is a pBR322-derived plasmid lacking the rom gene, behaves like pBR322rom
–, whereas introduction of the rom gene into the pUC19 replicon drives it into the pBR322 mode of replication in amino acid-starved bacteria. A model for the regulation of pBR322 plasmid DNA replication by Rom protein in amino acid-starved Escherichia coli strains is proposed. 相似文献

A new revision of the sequence of plasmid pBR322 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Ned Watson 《Gene》1988,70(2):399-403
A revised sequence in the region immediately upstream from the rop gene of pBR322 is reported. Two base pairs in the accepted sequence do not exist in the plasmid DNA. Specifically, a TA base pair is missing at sequence coordinate 1893 [Sutcliffe, Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 43 (1979) 77–90] and an AT base pair is missing at position 1915, giving a total size for pBR322 of 4361 bp. These changes are in a potential translation initiation sequence and probably reflect errors in the original sequence rather than recent evolution of the plasmid. 相似文献

Construction and characterization of new cloning vehicles. IV. Deletion derivatives of pBR322 and pBR325 总被引:208,自引:0,他引:208
In vitro recombinant DNA experiments involving restriction endonuclease fragments derived from the plasmids pBR322 and pBR325 resulted in the construction of two new cloning vehicles. One of these plasmids, designated pBR327, was obtained after an EcoRII partial digestion of pBR322. The plasmid pBR327 confers resistance to tetracycline and ampicillin, contains 3273 base pairs (bp) and therefore is 1089 bp smaller than pBR322. The other newly constructed vector, which has been designated pBR328, confers resistance to chloramphenicol as well as the two former antibiotics. This plasmid contains unique HindIII, BamHI and SalI sites in the tetracycline resistance gene, unique PvuI and PstI sites in the ampicillin resistance gene and unique EcoRI, PvuII and BalI sites in the chloramphenicol resistance gene. The pBR328 plasmid contains approx. 4900 bp. 相似文献

A method is suggested for chemical modification of preselected regions of plasmid DNA by complementary single-stranded restriction fragments of DNA (srf DNA), carrying alkylating reagents. The gene coding for tetracycline resistance of plasmid pBR322 was used as a target. Srf DNA was prepared by a partial digestion of a double-stranded EcoRI-BamHI restriction fragment (377 base pairs) from Tcr by E. coli exonuclease III. The residues of an alkylating reagent N,N,N'-tri(beta-chlorethyl)-N'-(p-formylphenyl) propylenediamine 1,3 (TFP) were attached covalently to 4-5% of sfr DNA bases. The alkylating derivative of the sfr DNA was hybridized with supercoiled pBR322 plasmid DNA. The hybridization conditions (37 degrees C, 40% formamide, 0,2 M NaCl, 0,1 M Tris-HCl pH 7,5, 0,001 M EDTA) under which the bases carrying TFP residues are not eliminated from the sfr DNA, and transforming activity of pBR322 DNA does not decrease were established. It was shown that about 20% of plasmid pBR322 molecules form D-loops with alkylating sfr DNA under these conditions. It was shown that sfr DNA, carrying TFP can alkylate the complementary region of plasmid DNA, forming cross-linked D-loops. A method for the site-directed mutagenesis of switching off the preselected genes or non-transcribed DNA functional regions (promotors, introns etc) integrated into plasmids of other vectors is suggested. 相似文献

The promoter-cloning plasmid pBRH4 (a derivative of pBR322 with a partially deleted promoter of the tet gene) is shown to contain a sequence which is located near the EcoRI site and can operate as an effective Pribnow box, but is not the remainder of the deletion-inactivated tet promoter of pBR322. If there is a sequence homologous to the '-35' promoter region at the border of the DNA fragment inserted at the EcoRI site, then a compound promoter arises and activates the tet gene. Point mutations in the nonfunctional--35 region of pBRH4 also activate the cryptic Pribnow box. Several compound promoters were obtained through deleting small portions of DNA around the HindIII site of pBR322; the deletions moved various sequences that could operate as Pribnow boxes towards the -35 region of the tet promoter. 相似文献
