[Temperate SM phage from Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a vector for cloning genetic information]. 1991

A M Kul'ba, and A S Gorelyshev, and A N Evtushenkov, and Iu K Fomichev

The recombinant bacteriophages with the genomes containing the DNA fragments of bacteria Erwinia chrysanthemi, including the pectatelyase gene, were constructed on the base of Pseudomonas aeruginosa temperate bacteriophage SM. The gene transferred into Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 cells by transfection is expressed in the new bacterial host. The restriction maps of the recombinant bacteriophages are constructed and the position of an insert is defined. Bacteriophage SM was found to be capable of reproducing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 cells when its DNA was shortened to 88% or increased to 111% of the normal genome length. Except for bacteriophage SM, the recombinant bacteriophage SM-2 with an unique restriction endonuclease site for XbaI can also be used as a vector for cloning. Bacteriophage SM capacity in cloning of heterological DNA at HindIII sites is not less than 8 Md, capacity of bacteriophage SM-2 is not less than 5 and 8 Md at XbaI and HindIII sites respectively.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011550	Pseudomonas aeruginosa	A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.	Bacillus aeruginosus,Bacillus pyocyaneus,Bacterium aeruginosum,Bacterium pyocyaneum,Micrococcus pyocyaneus,Pseudomonas polycolor,Pseudomonas pyocyanea
D003001	Cloning, Molecular	The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.	Molecular Cloning
D004269	DNA, Bacterial	Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria.	Bacterial DNA
D005798	Genes, Bacterial	The functional hereditary units of BACTERIA.	Bacterial Gene,Bacterial Genes,Gene, Bacterial
D005814	Genes, Viral	The functional hereditary units of VIRUSES.	Viral Genes,Gene, Viral,Viral Gene
D005822	Genetic Vectors	DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.
