[Cloning of the genes of hemolytic factors of Bordetella pertussis in Escherichia coli]. 1986

M N Rozinov, and Iu L Shumakov, and T A Gol'tsmaĭer, and V N Gershanovich, and I A Lapaeva

The gene library of B. pertussis strain No. 475 (serovar 1. 2. 3.) was obtained on plasmid pUC19 in E. coli strain JM107. The average size of the cloned fragments of chromosomal DNA was 4.9 Kb. Out of 1,700 tested recombinant clones, six caused visible hemolysis on petri dishes with agar containing 4% of sheep red blood cells after 16-hour incubation at 37 degrees C. Only two out of four isolated plasmids were similar in Pst I restriction. Consequently, the existence of several different genes responsible for the hemolytic factors of B. pertussis may be assumed. None of the cloned fragments had Hind III sites. Clones harboring hybrid plasmids possessed different modes of hemolysis, which may be indicative of gene expression in E. coli.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D001886 Bordetella pertussis A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that is the causative agent of WHOOPING COUGH. Its cells are minute coccobacilli that are surrounded by a slime sheath. Bacterium tussis-convulsivae,Haemophilus pertussis,Hemophilus pertussis
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
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D014774 Virulence The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS. Pathogenicity
