Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase from halophilic archaebacteria.
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase has been discovered in the halophilic archaebacteria for the first time. The enzyme from both classical and alkaliphilic halobacteria has been investigated. (1) The enzyme specifically catalysed the stoichiometric oxidation of dihydrolipoamide by NAD+. Enzymic activity was optimal at 2 M-NaCl and was remarkably resistant to thermal denaturation. (2) The relative m...
متن کاملDirected insertion of a selectable marker into a circular plasmid of Borrelia burgdorferi.
Studies of the biology of Borrelia burgdorferi and the pathogenesis of Lyme disease are severely limited by the current lack of genetic tools. As an initial step toward facile genetic manipulation of this pathogenic spirochete, we have investigated gene inactivation by allelic exchange using a mutated borrelial gyrB gene that confers resistance to the antibiotic coumermycin A1 as a selectable m...
متن کاملConstruction of T-vector derived from pBluescript ΙΙ SK with a positive selection marker, a rapid system for cloning
A rapid DNA cloning system is a research interest of many scientists. TA cloning is one of the methods used for the cloning of PCR-amplified DNA molecules. The TA cloning method is a convenient and labor-saving replacement to traditional, restriction enzyme-mediated cloning strategies. A T-vector called pBlueskript ΙΙ SK-1 with the lethal gene ccdB was designed to construct a positive selection...
متن کاملTransformation of Helicobacter pylori by chromosomal metronidazole resistance and by a plasmid with a selectable chloramphenicol resistance marker.
Most strains of Helicobacter pylori are naturally competent for uptake of chromosomal DNA. Transformation frequencies for streptomycin resistance or rifampicin resistance markers ranged from 1 x 10(-4) to 1 x 10(-3) per viable cell using a plate transformation procedure. Transformation of a metronidazole resistance marker (MtrR) was demonstrated when either a laboratory-derived mutant or a MtrR...
متن کاملRecombineering with tolC as a Selectable/Counter-selectable Marker: remodeling the rRNA Operons of Escherichia coli
This work describes the novel use of tolC as a selectable/counter-selectable marker for the facile modification of DNA in Escherichia coli. Expression of TolC (an outer membrane protein) confers relative resistance to toxic small molecules, while its absence renders the cell tolerant to colicin E1. These features, coupled with the lambdaredgam recombination system, allow for selection of tolC i...
