Deletion map of the Escherichia coli structural gene for alkaline phosphatase, phoA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lambda transducing phages containing portions of the phoA gene have been isolated and used to construct a deletion map of the phoA gene. The isolation of a plaque-forming lambda transducing phage carrying the entire phoA gene is also described. Two new methods for screening or selection of mutants that have altered levels of alkaline phosphatase activity are reported.

Secretion of Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli.
The Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase structural gene (amyE) lacking its own signal peptide coding sequence was joined to the end of the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (phoA) signal peptide coding sequence by using the technique of oligonucleotide-directed site-specific deletion. On induction of the phoA promoter, the B. subtilis alpha-amylase was expressed and almost all the activity was ...
متن کاملA plasmid facilitating in vitro construction of phoA gene fusions in Escherichia coli.
The topology of membrane proteins is technically difficult to determine. Genetic approaches have been described which help for such an analysis (5). In E. coli, alkaline phosphatase is enzyinatically active only when it is exported out of the cytoplasm of the cell (1) and the use of gene fusions with phoA, the gene for alkaline phosphatase, revealed the more generally applicable of these geneti...
متن کاملPhoA gene fusions in Legionella pneumophila generated in vivo using a new transposon, MudphoA.
To enable effective use of phoA gene fusions in Legionella pneumophila, we constructed MudphoA, a derivative of the mini-Mu phage Mu dII4041, which is capable of generating gene fusions to the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase gene (EC 3.1.3.1). Although an existing fusion-generating transposon, TnphoA, has been a useful tool for studying secreted proteins in other bacteria, this transposon...
متن کاملDisplay of E. coli Alkaline Phosphatase pIII or pVIII Fusions on Phagemid Surfaces Reveals Monovalent Decoration with Active Molecules
Active alkaline phosphatase of Escherichia coli (PhoA, EC 3.1.3.1) was displayed via the leucine zipper element of the Jun-Fos heterodimer on the surface of filamentous phage and the kinetic parameters K(m) and k(cat) were determined. The phoA gene was cloned downstream of fos while jun was inserted upstream of pIII or pVIII, alternatively, in the pJuFo phagemid vector. Both fusion genes are re...
متن کاملExport of FepA::PhoA fusion proteins to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli K-12.
A library of fepA::phoA gene fusions was generated in order to study the structure and secretion of the Escherichia coli K-12 ferric enterobactin receptor, FepA. All of the fusion proteins contained various lengths of the amino-terminal portion of FepA fused in frame to the catalytic portion of bacterial alkaline phosphatase. Localization of FepA::PhoA fusion proteins in the cell envelope was d...
