✦ Synopsis

We have constructed a mini-F derivative (pKP1013) consisting of a 5.4 kilobase pairs (kb) segment (44.0 to 49.4 kb) of mini-F and fragments carrying the chloramphenicol and spectinomycin resistance genes that originated from the R plasmid NR1. The plasmid pKP1013 replicates autonomously in a manner indistinguishable from that of the parental mini-F. An amber mutant defective in replication has been isolated from pKP1013 by localized mutagenesis using N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The virtual absence of incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into the plasmid DNA as well as the kinetics of appearance of plasmid-free segregants suggest that plasmid DNA synthesis is primarily affected under nonpermissive conditions. The amber mutation has been mapped within the 530 base pairs (bp) region that extends from 45.25 (XmaI) to 45.78 Kb (PstI) by extensive analysis of in vitro recombinants constructed from rep+ and rep- plasmids.

We describe the molecular cloning of BglII fragments of the hybrid plasmid pRS5 (pSC101 and EcoRI fragments of F; f7, f5, f3 and f6). The clones isolated were examined for the expression of F-specified replication, incompatibility, mobilization and inhibition of T7 bacteriophage multiplication. Prot
