[Recombinant plasmids carrying multiple markers: isolation during yeast co-transformation].
Cotransformants of yeast cells by two partially homologous plasmids, one of which is incapable of autonomous replication, has been used to construct multiply marked recombinant plasmids. Only simultaneous elimination of three yeast markers was registered when episomal plasmid, carrying Ade2 gene, and integrative plasmid, carrying yeast genes LEU2 and URA3, were cotransformed. Transformants, in which yeast genes LEU2, URA3 and HIS3 are linked, have been isolated by analogous technique. The genetic analysis has confirmed existence of plasmid cointegrates in the transformant cells, which carry three yeast genes, bacterial DNA fragment and 2 micrometers DNA fragment, coding for replicative functions. Recombination in the region of bacterial plasmid pBR322 might have resulted in formation of such plasmids. Plasmid recombination in cotransformants has been used to construct multiply marked circular chromosomes, having included yeast genes LEU2, URA3 and TRP1, centromere of the IV yeast chromosome and the sequence coding for their replication in yeast as well as in E. coli cells.
