Regulation of the two isozymes of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7phosphate synthase (DAHP synthase; EC 4.1.2.15) encoded by the genes ARO3 and ARO4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Both genes were shown to respond equally well to the general control of amino acid biosynthesis. Strains with mutations in these two genes were obtained by selecting first for a single aro3 mutation and afterwards for a double aro3 aro4 mutation. Gene ARO3, coding for the phenylalanine-dependent isozyme of DAHP synthase was cloned on the 2 micron multicopy vector pJDB207 by complementation of mutation aro3-1 in yeast. The ARO3 gene, carried originally on a 9.6 kb BamHI fragment (plasmid pME541A), was subcloned on a 1.9 kb HindIII-XbaI fragment (plasmid pME543). A transcript of about 1.5 kb was shown to proceed from the HindIII towards the XbaI site. Expression from the 9.6 kb as well as from the 1.9 kb fragment was normal on a multicopy vector, since in both cases DAHP synthase levels of about 50-fold the wild-type level were observed.

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
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
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
