✦ Synopsis
The isolation and properties of a hybrid plasmid carrying the Y gene of the lac operon of Escherichia coli are described. The lactose carrier protein, coded for by the Y gene, is readily identified upon lac operon induction in strains carrying the plasmid. The protein comprises about 15% of the cytoplasmic membrane protein synthesized in the first generation after induction, compared with a wild type strain induced under the same conditions where lactose carrier protein comprises 1.4% of the cytoplasmic membrane protein.

The E. coli recA gene was cloned from the phage lambda precA into the vector pBR313. A plasmid, pJL3, was also isolated by cloning a portion of the recA gene into the vector pBR322. pJL3 coded for a fragment of the recA protein 34 Kd (kilodaltons) in size (compared to 40 Kd for the intact protein).
## Abstract In this article we present a new and more accurate model for the prediction of the solubility of proteins overexpressed in the bacterium __Escherichia coli__. The model uses the statistical technique of logistic regression. To build this model, 32 parameters that could potentially corre
Amino acid starvation of cells of the Escherichia coli relA strain, CP79, which cannot accumulate guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) in response to amino acid limitation, increased the pEG1 plasmid content about 5- to 7-fold in comparison with exponentially growing cells (pEG1:pBR322 with an insertion
A method for Tn1 insertion mutagenesis in Escherichia coli has been developed using pTH10, a mutant plasmid of RP4 temperature-sensitive for maintenance. The mutagenesis involves three steps. Firstly, from strains carrying pTH10 showing resistance to the antibiotics kanamycin, tetracycline, and ampi
