چکیده

In strain 2201 of Streptomyces aureofaciens, a high copy number amplified DNA sequence (ADS-Sa2201) was found and characterized. The amplified sequence in the chromosomal DNA of this strain forms a stretch of about 10 kb tandemly repeated 100-500 times. In this strain also, extrachromosomal copies of the repeated unit of the ADS-Sa2201 were found. In cloning experiments any autonomous replicon was found on ADS-Sa2201 and it thus can be presumed that the presence of the extrachromosomal copies of the repeated unit of ADS-Sa2201 is only a result of its excision from the chromosome. A part of the repeated unit of ADS-Sa2201 was also found in chromosomal DNA of strain 13 of S. aureofaciens. In this strain no part of ADS-Sa2201 is present extrachromosomally.

Characterization of a site-specific restriction endonuclease from Streptomyces aureofaciens.

A new type II sequence-specific restriction endonuclease, SauI, was isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens IKA18/4. The purified enzyme was free of contaminating exonuclease and phosphatase activities. SauI cleaved lambda DNA at two sites, but did not cleave pBR322, simian virus 40, or phi X174 DNA. SauI recognized the septanucleotide sequence 5'-CCTNAGG-3' and cleaved at the position indicate...

Amplified DNA in Streptomyces fradiae.

A spontaneous mutant of Streptomyces fradiae contained an amplifiable unit of DNA with a sequence length of approximately 10.5 kilobases that was amplified to approximately 500 copies per chromosome. The amplified DNA appears to be cryptic. SalI fragments of the amplified DNA were cloned into Escherichia coli to construct a restriction map and characterize the amplified DNA. The amplified DNA c...

In silico cloning and bioinformatics study of Brucella melitensis Omp31 antigen in different mammalian expression vectors

Brucella melitensis, as a pathogenic gram-negative intracellular bacterium, causes brucellosis in animals and humans. According to literature, the B. melitensis outer membrane protein 31 (Omp31) is considered as an important vaccine candidate against brucellosis. The aim of the current study was to compare three different expression constructs containing B. melitensis Omp31 antigen using bioinf...
