    Abstract A target length limitation to PCR amplification of DNA has been identified and addressed. Concomitantly, the base-pair fidelity, the ability to use PCR products as primers, and the maximum yield of target fragment were increased. These improvements were achieved by the combination of a high level of an exonuclease-free, N-terminal deletion mutant of Taq DNA polymerase, Klentaq1, with a very low level of a thermostable DNA polymerase exhibiting a 3'-exonuclease activity (Pfu, Vent, or Deep Vent). At least 35 kb can be amplified to high yields from 1 ng of lambda DNA template.

    Abstract KlenTaq DNA polymerase is an N-terminally truncated Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase I. As expressed from a gene construct in Escherichia coli, translation initiates at Met236, bypassing the 5'----3' exonuclease domain of the DNA polymerase-encoding gene. A sensitive forward mutation assay was used to measure the relative number of mutations introduced into the entire lacZ gene by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) under various conditions which allow the amplification of such a large DNA span. Two selectable markers, one at each end of the test lacZ fragment, were employed to avoid the plating and scoring of PCR artefacts such as primer initiation in the midst of the lacZ gene, and cloning artefacts such as empty vector plasmid. The measured relative mutation rate was twofold lower for KlenTaq as compared to the full-length Taq DNA polymerase.

    Abstract A carboxyl-terminally modified firefly luciferase, encoded as a gene fusion to the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (which confers kanamycin resistance), was found to be enzymatically active for both enzymes when expressed in bacteria and in transgenic plants. A military-type starlight vision system was used to conveniently analyze the pattern of gene expression in transgenic tobacco plant leaves. Transgenic tobacco plants which expressed luciferase uniformly in all areas of the leaf, and assays for luciferin, demonstrated that luciferin rapidly penetrates all regions of a tobacco leaf in at least two dimensions. Depending on the test gene structure or, presumably, on the transferred DNA (T-DNA) insertional context, other transgenic plants were obtained that expressed luciferase with a wide range of nonuniform patterns from nominally the same cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. For instance, the veins can be dark, while only the interveinal regions of the leaf lamina glow, or only the small capillary veins glow, or only the major veins glow. Local and/or systemic induction in response to wounding was also demonstrated.

    Abstract The first part of the histidine operon of Salmonella typhimurium, hisGpeaGD, has been cloned onto the vector plasmid mini-ColE1 (pVH51). The resulting plasmid, pWB91, has a single EcoRI site and is 11,500 base pairs in size. The HindII restriction map was determined by the method of two-dimensional cross-annealing between a partial digest pattern and a complete digest pattern. The restriction fragment containing the genetic control region was identified with the aid of the small (35-base pair) internal deletion 01242 and the observation that heteroduplexed restriction fragments containing this deletion have markedly reduced mobility on polyacrylamide gels. The genetic control region was then mapped in more detail with other restriction enzymes. The genetic orientation of the restriction map was determined with the aid of several deletions of integral HindII fragments generated in vitro.

    Abstract In order to create a ready source of single-stranded DNA for DNA sequence determination by the dideoxy chain-termination method, the promoter-proximal part of the histidine operon, the hisOGD region of Salmonella typhimurium, was cloned onto the single-stranded phage M13. Both orientations of the his DNA were cloned to supply DNA template for sequencing of each strand. Insertion was achieved at an HaeIII site in the intergenic region (IR) of M13, and a single EcoRI site was purposely regenerated at one boundary of the his DNA insert. Infected colonies, not plaques, were selected using the hisD gene as a selective marker. The single RI site and the hisD marker for auxotrophic selection represent improvements on the wild type M13 as a single-stranded vector for cloning other DNA.

    Abstract The DNA sequence of 250 base pairs preceding the first structural gene of the histidine operon of Salmonella typhimurium was determined by the dideoxy chain-termination method. Single-stranded DNA template was provided by an M13-histidine transducing phage constructed for the purpose by in vitro recombination. The termination site for the histidine leader RNA is identified by analogy with the trp operon leader termination sequence, and is 47 nucleotides before the start codon of the first structural gene G. Beginning 150 nucleotides before the end of the presumed leader RNA is a possible short protein-coding region with seven histidine codons in a row. It is proposed that the major mechanism of histodine operon control must involve a ribosome arrested at this run of histidine codons when histidine is limiting.
