title: Use of cloned htpR gene of Escherichia coli to introduce htpR mutation into the chromosome.
abstract: A deletion htpR mutant of Escherichia coli has been constructed on the basis of site-directed mutagenesis. To this end, the chromosomal allele of htpR gene was substituted by a mutant allele introduced into the cell with a recombinant plasmid. The htpR mutant is characterized by a reduced level of proteolysis and therefore by a decreased rate of proteolytic degradation of RNA polymerase of bacteriophage T7. The mutation in htpR is linked with chloramphenicol resistance.
