โฆ Synopsis
Investigation of tetracycline resistance genetically determined by the plasmid pSC101 and several recombinants of pSC101 containing EcoRI generated DNA fragments inserted at the EcoRI site has revealed significant differences in the phenotypic expression of that resistance. The altered phenotypes of the recombinant plasmids may be the result of the location of the EcoRI site of pSC101, which has been determined to be near the genetic elements involved with tetracycline resistance.

Two regions tentatively called unsA and unsR were identified on pSC101. One, unsA, corresponds to less than 650 bp of the N-terminal in the tetracycline resistance structural gene and seems to inhibit stable maintenance of pSC101. The other, unsR, is defined within the 1 kb XhoI-EcoRI region located
Maintenance of plasmid pKC17, a derivative of plasmid pSC101, in E. coli requires a functional dnaA gene product. This was demonstrated by segregation experiments using an E. coli dnaA46 mutant, at various temperatures. Growth of this mutant at elevated temperature was allowed by the presence of a P
A 1.3-kb segment of plasmid pSC101 includes the replication origin (ori) and the gene (rep) encoding the 37 kilodalton (K) protein required for autonomous replication of the plasmid. The present work describes the regulation of the rep gene expression. The gamma promoters PR and PL fail to promote r
