One-step inactivation of chromosomal genes in Escherichia coli K-12 using PCR products.
We have developed a simple and highly efficient method to disrupt chromosomal genes in Escherichia coli in which PCR primers provide the homology to the targeted gene(s). In this procedure, recombination requires the phage lambda Red recombinase, which is synthesized under the control of an inducible promoter on an easily curable, low copy number plasmid. To demonstrate the utility of this appr...
متن کاملGenes and proteins of Escherichia coli K-12
GenProtEC is a database of Escherichia coli genes and their gene products, classified by type of function and physiological role and with citations to the literature for each. Also present are data on sequence similarities among E.coli proteins, representing groups of paralogous genes, with PAM values, percent identity of amino acids, length of alignment and percent aligned. GenProtEC can be ac...
متن کاملTransduction in Escherichia Coli K-12.
SYSTEM of genetic transduction has been discovered in the sexually fertile A K-12 strain of Escherichia coli. This transduction is mediated by lambda, a temperate phage for which K-12 is normally lysogenic. The distinctive features of the lambda-K-12 system include the following: (1) The transductions are limited to a cluster of genes for galactose fermentation. The GaZ loci are closely linked ...
متن کاملNew tool for metabolic pathway engineering in Escherichia coli: one-step method to modulate expression of chromosomal genes.
A simple and highly efficient method was developed to produce a library of Escherichia coli clones that express a particular chromosomal gene at a wide range of expression levels. The basic strategy was to replace all or part of the upstream region of a coding sequence containing the elements involved in its expression (promoter, operator, gene coding for a regulator, ribosome binding site, and...
متن کاملHfr Strains of Escherichia coli K-12
Since the first reports by Cavalli-Sforza (9) and Hayes (24) of strains of Escherichia coli K-12 which are conjugational donors of chromosomal markers at high frequency (Hfr strains), many other Hfr strains have been isolated and our understanding of the mechanisms involved in Hfr formation has increased considerably. All Hfr strains arise from the integration of a conjugative plasmid into the ...
