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

We constructed a series of defective mini-F plasmids, which have deletion(s) in the replication origin I and/or origin II, and their derivatives, which do not produce F3 protein, by insertion of the XhoI fragment of Tn5 into the XhoI site at 41.0 F (kilobases on the coordinate map of F-plasmid). Usi
We isolated a series of Tn5-insertional mutants from the mini-F plasmid, which has a deletion in the origin II region and replicates exclusively from origin 1, and found that the mutants that had Tn5 in either the F4 or the F5 gene were defective in their replication. It is concluded that, in additi
A DNA sequence consisting of 617 base pairs (bp) from the region of the origin of replication of the broad-host range plasmid RK2 has been determined. Included within this sequence is a 393 bp HpaII restriction fragment that provides a functional origin or replication when other essential RK2 specif
