Isolation and characterization of lambda transducing bacteriophages for argF, argI and adjacent genes.

چکیده
Two genes for ornithinetranscarbamylase exist in strain Escherichia coli K-12, argI, at 85 min, and argF, at 7 min. In an attempt to compare the deoxyribonucleic acid material of these two genes, the lambda transducing phages carrying a portion of the argI region, lambda dvalS argI, lambda pvalS, and lambda dvalS pyrB, and of the argF region, lambda dargF, have been isolated. Their structure, including that of phi 80dargF previously isolated, was studied by the method of heteroduplex mapping. In this paper, the results of this mapping are reported.

Isolation of specialized lambda transducing bacteriophages for flagellar genes (fla) of Escherichia coli K-12.
Specialized transducing lambda phages carrying the region III flagellar genes (fla) of Escherichia coli K-12 were isolated by a new method. A strain carrying both a cryptic lambda prophage near the his genes and a deletion of the attlambda gene was used as a starting strain. The lysogen of lambdacI857pga18-bio69 was isolated in which the prophage was integrated within the lambda cryptic genes b...
متن کاملResolution of the DNA strands of the specialized transducing bacteriophage lambda-h80C 1-857 dargF.
The DNA strands of lambdoid phages with deletions or substitutions of the guanine plus cytosine-rich region in the left arm are not resolvable by complexing with poly UG followed by centrifugation in CsCl. This work describes a completely general procedure for the strand resolution of these phages by hybridization with fragments of separated strands of the parent phage. In particular, resolutio...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of specialized lambda transducing bacteriophage carrying the metBJF methionine gene cluster.
Secondary attachment site lysogens of Deltaatt(lambda)Deltappc-argECBH strains of Escherichia coli with lambdacI857 integrated into the bfe gene (88 min) were isolated. Of 20 such lysogens examined, 2 produce lysates with transducing phage containing the metBJF gene cluster (87 min). Reintroduction of the ppc-argECBH chromosome segment (which lies between the bfe and met genes) into these strai...
متن کاملIsolation of specialized transducing bacteriophages carrying deletions of the regulatory region of the Escherichia coli K-12 tryptophan operon.
A lysogen of a wild-type strain of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying a heat-inducible lambda-phi80 hybrid prophage was induced to yield transducing phages carrying all of the structural genes of the tryptophan operon. The presence or absence of elements of the trp regulatory region was determined by examining the effects of lambda genes N and cI on trp gene expression. The phages were further char...
متن کاملIsolation and heteroduplex mapping of a lambda transducing bacteriophage carrying the structural genes for carbamoylphosphate synthase: regulation of enzyme synthesis in Escherichia coli K-12 lysogens.
A N-lambda bacteriophage transducing the structural genes for Escherichia coli K-12 carbamoylphosphate synthase (glutamine) (CPSase; EC 2.7.2.9) has been isolated and analyzed both genetically and physically. The whole int-N region is substituted for a short chromosomal segment corresponding almost exactly to the car locus. The study of CPSase, ornithine carbamoyltransferase, and aspartate carb...
