[Chemico-enzymatic synthesis of genetic elements for expression of synthetic genes in Bacillus subtilis cells]
Abstract:
In order to obtain the recombinant Bacillus subtilis strain, a transcriptional-translational control unit of the alpha-amylase gene of B. amyloliquefaciens was synthesized. The oligodeoxyribonucleotides were prepared by the modified triester method in solution and by the solid-phase approach. Then these oligonucleotides were joined by DNA ligase into two fragments which were cloned in the phage M13mp9 DNA and the plasmid pBR327. A plasmid harboring the site regulating the transcription of the alpha-amylase gene may be employed as vector for cloning the promoter-containing fragments in E. coli cells.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
