title: [Effective, plasmid RP4-dependent replication-transposition of DNA of the transposable phage D3112 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a heterologous Escherichia coli system].
abstract: The processes of replication and transposition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposable phage D3112 in cells of Escherichia coli (D3112) and E. coli (RP4::D3112) were studied. D3112 genome is a "silent cassette" ("conex-phage"--conditionally expressible) in E. coli cells incubated at 42 degrees C. Two compulsory conditions for D3112 genome expression are incubation at 30 degrees C and the presence in cells of RP4 plasmid. Processes of replication and transposition in E. coli are coupled. RP4 plasmid stimulates D3112 DNA synthesis in E. coli at least by two order of magnitude. In correspondence with this observation is the fact that when Mg2+ is present in high concentration (0.1 M) in a cultural medium, the production of mature phage is enhanced by two order of magnitude in E. coli (RP4::D3112) or in E. coli (D3112, RP4) cells, and is approx. 10(-1)-10(-2) phage per cell. No influence of Mg on phage production is observed in E. coli (D3112) cells.
