  • Title: Cloning and endonuclease restriction analysis of argF and of the control region of the argECBH bipolar operon in Escherichia coli.
    Author: Crabeel M, Charlier D, Cunin R, Glansdorff N.
    Journal: Gene; 1979 Mar; 5(3):207-31. PubMed ID: 381103.
    Abstract:
    A 1.8 kb DNA fragment, liberated by endonuclease HindIII, contains the control region of the argECBH bipolar operon near one end and the weak secondary promoter of argH at the other extremity; it has been cloned in plasmid pBR322. The same plasmid vector has been used to clone the argF gene liberated from the chromosome by endonuclease BamHI. Restriction patterns for the two hybrid plasmids have been determined, using enzymes AluI, BglI, EcoRI, HaeIII, HincII, HindIII, HpaI and II, PstI and SalI. Two AluI sites situated on either side of and close to a HincII target delineate two short fragments covering the whole of the argECBH control region. The argF control elements are located in a region accessible to further dissection by BamHI, EcoRI, PstI and HindIII. Carriers of the argF plasmid produce extremely high amounts of ornithine carbamoyltransferase, a feature useful for purification of this enzyme.
