Complementation analysis of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid mutations affecting oncogenicity.
A wide host range cosmid vector has been constructed by insertion of the lambda cos site into the plasmid pRK2501. This cosmid, which is maintained in Agrobacterium tumefaciens and is compatible with the Ti plasmid, has been used to make a clone bank of the A. tumefaciens pTiA6 plasmid. Several pTiA6 cosmids have been used to complement Tn5-induced Ti plasmid mutations. Five avirulent mutations...
متن کاملTi plasmid-controlled chromosome transfer in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
In octopine-type A. tumefaciens R10, transfer of chromosomal arginine degradation genes (arc genes) was observed under conditions in which Ti plasmid transfer took place. However, transconjugants that had acquired the arc genes but not the Ti plasmid were recovered. During this process, several other chromosomal genes, such as genes encoding phage resistances or genes complementing a galactose ...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the virulence region of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid.
Forty-nine Tn3 and Tn5 transposition insertion mutations were introduced into the virulence region of the pTiA6NC plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Five Tn5 transposition mutations from an earlier study (D. Garfinkel and E. Nester, J. Bacteriol. 144:732-743, 1980) were also mapped more accurately. These mutations defined five separate loci within the virulence region. Two Tn3 insertions int...
متن کاملThe virD operon of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid encodes a DNA-relaxing enzyme.
The virD locus of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid encodes functions necessary for endonucleolytic cleavage of transferred DNA (T-DNA) prior to its transfer to plant cells. For the overproduction of the VIRD proteins in Escherichia coli a tac-virD operon fusion was constructed. A significant increase in the accumulation of VIRD proteins was observed in a lon protease-deficient E. coli host....
متن کاملA new method for construction of Ti plasmid-less strains in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring a Ti plasmid causes plant tumorigenesis and it's DNA transfer system have been extensively used in plant biotechnology. Because Ti plasmids are high stable in agrobacterial hosts, their curing is very difficult by conventional methods. Here, we introduced a novel curing method by using Ti plasmids incompatibility.
