title: Molecular cloning and mapping of SphI restriction fragments of plasmid RP4.
abstract: A combined physical and functional map of plasmid RP4 is presented including the sites for 18 restriction endonucleases. Several cleavage sites of SphI, BalI, and ApaI are suitable for the dissection of the transfer gene regions. Recombinant plasmids containing RP4 SphI fragments were constructed to assist in localizing sites relative to each other and to assign functions conferred by RP4 to the host.
