Abstract: | The plasmid pUT for homologous recombination was constructed by the insertion of the 1.1-kb thiostrepton resistance (tsr
R) gene into the E. coli plasmid pUB1-GI1. Plasmid pUTK was produced through ligating the cleaved plasmid pUT by KpnI. After pUT and pUTK were introduced into Streptomyces diastaticus No.7 strain M1033 (SM33) by protoplast transformation, a series of tsrR transformants were obtained, further based on enzyme assays. These results for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing,
restriction enzyme digestion, and recovery of cloned fragments from the transformant chromosome demonstrated the plasmid pUT
and pUTK had integrated into the SM33 chromosome in three different patterns of single cross-over by homologous recombination.
This directly results in double-copy GI gene in the transformant chromosome, of which one is wild-type GI gene, the other mutant GI (GIG138P, GI1) gene. Among the strains of the three kinds of recombinant patterns, one transformant was chosen and named K1, T2, and T3,
respectively. The further identification of the three recombinant strains by PCR, DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme digestion,
and Southern hybridization also proved there is a double-copy GI gene within their chromosome. Enzyme activity assay and thermostability analysis indicated that all three engineering strains
expressed not only wild-type enzyme but also mutant GI.
