  • Title: The cloning of the Escherichia coli K-12 deoxyribonucleoside operon.
    Author: Fischer M, Short SA.
    Journal: Gene; 1982 Mar; 17(3):291-8. PubMed ID: 6286410.
    Abstract:
    A 6.1-kb EcoRI DNA fragment containing the four structural genes (deoC, deoA, deoB, deoD) of the deoxyribonucleoside operon has been cloned into the plasmid pMFS53. By use of a unique, asymmetrically positioned HindIII site on the 6.1 kb insert, plasmids containing the deoC,deoA genes (pMFS50) or the deoB,deoD genes (pMFS55) have been constructed. Enzyme assays performed on extracts prepared from clones harboring pMFS53, pMFS50 or pMFS55 revealed that each clone possessed amplified deo enzyme levels and that the spectrum of enzyme amplification corresponded to the genetic composition of the plasmids carried by each clone. A plasmid (pMFS50l) having functional deoA, deoB and deoD genes but devoid of the deo regulatory region and a portion of the deoC structural gene has been isolated following treatment of BamHI cleaved pMFS53 and BAL31 nuclease. Comparison of the deo enzyme levels for clones harboring pMFS53 and pMFS501 suggest that plasmid pMFS53 possesses a functional deo regulatory region in addition to the four structural genes of the operon.
