    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Biotechnology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Standard plasmid vectors like pBR322 are widely used but lack features for efficient DNA strand separation.
    • The need for pure, separated DNA strands is critical for advanced molecular biology techniques such as DNA sequencing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To construct and characterize a novel plasmid vector, pKH47, designed for the efficient separation of complementary DNA strands.
    • To demonstrate the utility of pKH47 in preparing DNA for sequencing applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of pKH47 by inserting a poly(A):poly(dT) duplex into the PvuII site of pBR322.
    • Separation of linearized, denatured plasmid DNA strands using sequential oligo(dA)- and oligo(dT)-cellulose affinity chromatography.
    • Application of separated strands for DNA sequencing using the chain-terminator method.

    Main Results:

    • The constructed plasmid pKH47 retains the features of pBR322, including restriction sites and drug resistance genes.
    • Affinity chromatography achieved rapid and efficient separation of complementary DNA strands, with over 90% recovery.
    • Demonstrated successful DNA sequencing of a Drosophila DNA insert containing a tRNA gene using the separated strands.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel plasmid pKH47 facilitates high-efficiency separation of complementary DNA strands.
    • This method provides a valuable tool for preparing DNA templates for sequencing and other molecular analyses.
    • The plasmid is a versatile tool for genetic research, enabling advanced applications like gene sequencing.
