[Phasmids. Properties and the use in genetic engineering. I. Construction of the phasmid vector].
A phasmid vector molecule designated pMYF11 has been constructed. The vector combines some useful features of plasmid and phage vector molecules. lambda pMYF11 is a hybrid of lambda 47.1 vector and pBR322 plasmid. CI- marker of pMYF11 is replaced with cI+ marker by recombination between the plasmid and prophage 434. The phasmid molecule can be used as a replacement vector for BamHI, HindIII, SalGI endonucleases. The maximum size of fragments to be cloned is 21 kilobase pairs. Positive selection for hybrid molecules is possible because of the Spi phenotype expression after replacement of the central HindIII or BamHI DNA fragment with foreign DNA. A library of Escherichia coli genes is constructed with the help of lambda pMYF11 as a vector molecule. A hybrid phage harboring genes of the proline operon is detected by means of complementation.
