A broad-host-range promoter-probing vector, pMY3 (8.0 kb), was constructed for cloning of DNA fragments containing promoter sequences of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. This vector (pMY3) consists of the RK2 replicon, promoterless luxAB genes, the thr attenuator to block the transcription of RNA into the luxAB region, and multiple cloning sites for cloning of the fragment carrying promoter sequences. The feasibility of using pMY3 as a promoter-probing vector in both E. coli and Xc17 was demonstrated by using the lac promoter of E. coli, and the amy promoter of X. campestris in Xc17. Among the 63 promoter-containing fragments cloned from Xc17, only 9 were able to express in E. coli. It appears that X. campestris can recognize most E. coli type promoters, but, E. coli can recognize only a small portion of the X. campestris type promoters.

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
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.
