Dual-origin plasmid vectors whose origin of replication is controlled by the coliphage lambda promoter pL. 1984

G T Yarranton, and E Wright, and M K Robinson, and G O Humphreys

The insertion of an XhoI linker 30 bp from the 5' end of the RNA II primer for ColE1 plasmid replication has allowed us to replace the natural RNA II promoter by other controllable promoters, in particular lambda pL. Manipulation of this modified origin was facilitated by constructing dual-origin plasmids, stable maintenance being directed by the pSC101 origin. Experiments showed that such dual-origin plasmids could be stably maintained at approximately four copies per chromosome at 30 degrees C and readily amplified by thermal induction of strains carrying a thermolabile lambda repressor. The use of such plasmids for the construction of stable, amplifiable expression vectors is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009876 Operon In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION. Operons
D010582 Bacteriophage lambda A temperate inducible phage and type species of the genus lambda-like viruses, in the family SIPHOVIRIDAE. Its natural host is E. coli K12. Its VIRION contains linear double-stranded DNA with single-stranded 12-base 5' sticky ends. The DNA circularizes on infection. Coliphage lambda,Enterobacteria phage lambda,Phage lambda,lambda Phage
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

Gene Action Regulation,Regulation of Gene Expression,Expression Regulation, Gene,Regulation, Gene Action,Regulation, Gene Expression
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.
