Abstract: | 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. |
