Abstract:
:Functional analysis of cloned genes often makes use of complementation after introducing these genes into cells of a mutant strain. Problems with this self-cloning step in the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans R2 have been encountered, which were mainly due to recombinational instability of gene and vector after transformation. Therefore, conditions determining the exchange of material between chromosome, insert and plasmids were studied to achieve the necessary stability. The fate of plasmid pME1, containing a wild-type methionine gene from A. nidulans R2, was investigated after its introduction into a Tn901-induced methionine mutant strain as recipient, so that the mutant chromosomal gene could be distinguished from the plasmid-borne wild-type copy. Two different recipients were constructed, one containing and one lacking the resident plasmid pCH1, which is a derivative of the indigenous small plasmid pUH24. When using the pCH1-free strain and with combined selection for both wild-type gene and vector, the original configuration of the genes in chromosome and vector was retained in the majority of the transformed cells, while the remaining transformants were reciprocal recombinants; under conditions of single selection mainly nonreciprocal recombination or loss of the vector was observed. When the recipient strain contained pCH1 additional recombinational events took place. The results show that under appropriate conditions a chromosomal gene cloned on a plasmid vector can be stably maintained in a majority of the transformants, thus making self-cloning experiments feasible in A. nidulans R2. On the other hand, the introduction of foreign DNA into the chromosome can be achieved by deliberately exploiting recombination between chromosome and plasmid.
