Cloning and expression of the Escherichia coli replication origin in a single-stranded DNA phage.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The Escherichia coli DNA replication origin (oriC) and the adjacent asparagine synthetase gene (asnA) have been inserted into the duplex replicative form DNA of the single-stranded phage vector M13Goril. By in vitro recombination, the entire oriC asnA-containing plasmid pJS5 was inserted into M13Gori1 in both possible orientations. Both phage types transduce the asnA gene and confer upon the M13 vector the ability to replicate as a plasmid in the E. coli mutant rep3. In rep+ hosts, these phages undergo single-stranded DNA synthesis and viral morphogenesis.
