Plasmid replication stimulates DNA recombination in Bacillus subtilis

The effects of plasmid replication on the frequency of homologous recombination have been investigated. For that purpose Bacillus subtilis strains that carry in their chromosome directly repeated DNA sequences, and an integrated copy of plasmid pE194 either proximal or distal to the repeats, were constructed. The repeat consists either of 3.9 X 10(3) base pBR322 sequences or 2.1 X 10(3) base B. subtilis chromosomal sequences. As plasmid pE194 is naturally thermosensitive for replication, the activity of the replicon could be regulated. Recombination between the repeated sequences was infrequent (about 10(-4) per generation) when the integrated plasmid did not replicate. It was 20 to 450 times higher when the plasmid was allowed to replicate, provided that the repeats were in the proximity of the plasmid. These results show that plasmid replication stimulates DNA recombination.

转BmK IT4基因烟草的抗虫性

The BmK IT4 gene was obtained from pBS-BmK IT4 by EcoRⅠ/KpnⅠdigestion and it was then cloned into pE3 intermediate vector. The resulting plasmid was named pE3-BmK IT4. The chimeric gene was transferred into the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) genome via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Forty-five regenerated kanamycin resistant plants were obtained, two individual lines showed strong toxicity to Manduca sexta (Linnaeus), Heliothis armigera (Hübner) and Leguminivora glycinivorella (Matsumura) by feeding experiments. Results from Southern blot indicated that BmK IT4 gene was transferred into tobacco genome. The mortality of M．sexta, H．armigera and L．glycinivorella larvae fed on transgenic plants was 95%-97%, 63%-70% and 65%-73%, respectively, and the growth of the surviving insects was remarkably retarded.     

Replication and incompatibility properties of plasmid pE194 in Bacillus subtilis.

pE194, a 3.5-kilobase multicopy plasmid, confers resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B antibiotics in Bacillus subtilis. By molecular cloning and deletion analysis we have identified a replication segment on the physical map of this plasmid, which consists of about 900 to 1,000 base pairs. This segment contains the replication origin. It also specifies a trans-acting function (rep) required for the stable replication of pE194 and a negatively acting copy control function which is the product of the cop gene. The target sites for the rep and cop gene products are also within this region. Two incompatibility determinants have been mapped on the pE194 genome and their properties are described. One (incA) resides within the replication region and may be identical to cop. incB, not located in the replication region, expresses incompatibility toward a copy control mutant (cop-6) but not toward the wild-type replicon.     

Identification of plasmid and Bacillus subtilis chromosomal recombination sites used for pE194 integration.

The plasmid pE194 (3.7 kilobases) is capable of integrating into the genome of the bacterial host Bacillus subtilis in the absence of the major homology-dependent RecE recombination system. Multiple recombination sites have been identified on both the B. subtilis chromosome and pE194 (J. Hofemeister, M. Israeli-Reches, and D. Dubnau, Mol. Gen. Genet. 189:58-68, 1983). The B. subtilis chromosomal recombination sites were recovered by genetic cloning, and these sites were studied by nucleotide sequence analysis. Recombination had occurred between regions of short nucleotide homology (6 to 14 base pairs) as indicated by comparison of the plasmid and the host chromosome recombination sites with the crossover sites of the integration products. Recombination between the homologous sequences of the plasmid and the B. subtilis genome produced an integrated pE194 molecule which was bounded by direct repeats of the short homology. These results suggest a recombination model involving a conservative, reciprocal strand exchange between the two recombination sites. A preferred plasmid recombination site was found to occur within a 70-base-pair region which contains a GC-rich dyad symmetry element. Five of seven pE194-integrated strains analyzed had been produced by recombination at different locations within this 70-base-pair interval, located between positions 860 and 930 in pE194. On the basis of these data, mechanisms are discussed to explain the recombinational integration of pE194.     

Transgenic roots produced by introducing Ri-rol genes into cucumber cotyledons by particle bombardment

Transformed roots ofCucumis sativus were obtained from cotyledon tissues that had been bombarded with gold particles coated with plasmid pE7.4 using a pneumatic particle gun. This plasmid containsrolA, rolB, rolC genes and ORF 13 of the 7.4 kbEco RI fragment of T-DNA of pRi 1724 isolated fromAgrobacterium rhizogenes MAF 03-01724. The nature of the tissue and the composition of the culture media used greatly influenced the recovery of transformed roots. The transgenic nature of the derived roots was confirmed by the vigorous. highly-branched growth seen on a phytohormone-free medium. The stable integration ofrol genes into the cucumber genome was confirmed by Southern blot analysis.     

Plasmid copy number control: isolation and characterization of high-copy-number mutants of plasmid pE194.

A plasmid, pE194, obtained from Staphylococcus aureus confers resistance to macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin type B ("MLS") antibiotics. For full expression, the resistance phenotype requires a period of induction by subinhibitory concentrations of erythromycin. A copy number in the range of 10 to 25 copies per cell is maintained during cultivation at 32 degrees C. It is possible to transfer pE194 to Bacillus subtilis by transformation. In B. subtilis, the plasmid is maintained at a copy number of approximately 10 per cell at 37 degrees C, and resistance is inducible. Tylosin, a macrolide antibiotic which resembles erythromycin structurally and to which erythromycin induces resistance, lacks inducing activity. Two types of plasmid mutants were obtained and characterized after selection on medium containing 10 microgram of tylosin per ml. One mutant class appeared to express resistance constitutively and maintained a copy number indistinguishable from that of the parent plasmid. The other mutant type had a 5- to 10-fold-elevated plasmid copy number (i.e., 50 to 100 copies per cell) and expressed resistance inducibly. Both classes of tylosin-resistant mutants were shown to be due to alterations in the plasmid and not to modifications of the host genome.
