Expression of the replication region of phage lambda DNA cloned into pBR322 in E. coli minicells.
Replication region of bacteriophage lambda DNA was cloned into pBR322 plasmid by the use of two restriction enzymes--PstI and HindIII. The restriction analysis of four obtained plasmids revealed that lambda DNA was cloned in both orientations. Recombinant plasmids were transferred to the minicell-producing strain of E. coli and synthesis of the plasmid-mediated proteins was analysed by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. All four recombinant plasmids produced lambda DNA replication proteins pO and pP as well as some proteins specific for pBR322. The orientation of cloned fragment did not affect the synthesis of lambda DNA replication proteins.
