Abstract: | A general method is described that allows precise deletion of a chosen restriction fragment(s) from a plasmid having many cleavage sites for that restriction enzyme. The DNA to be deleted is first separated from the rest of the plasmid on a larger DNA fragment contained between two different unique restriction sites. This fragment is then subdigested by the restriction endonuclease of interest, which recognises two or more tetranucleotide (cohesive end or blunt end) sequences on the fragment, and is recloned between the two original unique restriction sites. The method is rapid, efficient, and the results are predictable. Examples are given in which predetermined HpaII (9 bp, 147 bp), TaqI (141 bp) and AluI (15 bp, 403 bp) fragments have been selectively removed from the tetR region of plasmid pBR322. |
