Instability of rRNA operons in Bacillus subtilis.
Many laboratory strains of Bacillus subtilis contain 9 rather than 10 rRNA operons due to deletions occurring within the rrnJ-rrnW or rrnI-rrnH-rrnG gene cluster. These operons are members of two sets of closely spaced clusters located in the cysA-aroI region. Analysis of rescued DNA from integrants with insertions into rrnG and rrnH indicated that these tandemly arranged operons allowed freque...
متن کاملChromosomal organization of rRNA operons in Bacillus subtilis.
Integrative mapping with vectors containing ribosomal DNA sequences were used to complete the mapping of the 10 rRNA gene sets in the endospore forming bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Southern hybridizations allowed the assignment of nine operons to distinct BclI restriction fragments and their genetic locus identified by transductional crosses. Nine of the ten rRNA gene sets are located between 0...
متن کاملRates and consequences of recombination between rRNA operons.
A mutant strain of Escherichia coli was created by inserting a cassette encoding sucrose sensitivity and neomycin resistance (sacB-neo) into the small-subunit rRNA-encoding gene rrs in the rrnB operon. During growth in a complex medium, the cassette was lost from the population, and a complete rrs gene was restored at a rate of 5 x 10(-9) per cell division. Repair of this lesion required flanki...
متن کاملTwo tRNA gene clusters associated with rRNA operons rrnD and rrnE in Bacillus subtilis.
Sequence analysis of cloned rescued DNA fragments from a Bacillus subtilis strain with an inserted recombinant plasmid in ribosomal operon rrnE revealed the presence of two tRNA genes for Met and Asp at the 3' end of the operon. Probing chromosomal DNA from a strain carrying a plasmid inserted in rrnD with a fragment containing the genetically unassigned cluster of 16 tRNA genes revealed that t...
متن کاملA cyanobacterial strain with all chromosomal rRNA operons inactivated: a single nucleotide mutation of 23S rRNA confers temperature-sensitive phenotypes.
The presence of a multicopy chromosome, with each copy containing two rRNA operons (rrnA and rrnB), has been an obstacle to analysing mutated rRNA in Synechococcus PCC 7942. To create a system for expressing homogeneous mutated rRNA, the chromosomal rrn operons were sequentially inactivated and a final strain was successfully obtained with all the chromosomal rrn operons inactivated but carryin...
