An improved positive selection plasmid vector constructed by oligonucleotide mediated mutagenesis.

B Nilsson, M Uhlén, S Josephson

    Nucleic Acids Research
    |November 25, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new plasmid vector, pUN121, enables positive selection for DNA inserts in Escherichia coli. This engineered vector facilitates cloning by conferring tetracycline resistance upon successful insertion.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Microbiology
    • Genetic Engineering

    Background:

    • Traditional plasmid vectors often rely on blue-white screening, which can be laborious.
    • Positive selection methods offer a more efficient way to identify recombinant plasmids.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To construct a novel plasmid vector, pUN121, for enhanced positive selection of DNA inserts in Escherichia coli.
    • To engineer a smaller, versatile cloning vector with unique restriction sites.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of the pTR262 plasmid using in vitro recombinant techniques.
    • Oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis to introduce unique restriction sites.
    • Construction of a 4.4 kb plasmid vector with ampicillin resistance.

    Main Results:

    • The pUN121 plasmid provides positive selection for transformants containing DNA inserts.
    • Unique cloning sites for EcoRI, XmaI, SmaI, HindIII, and BclI were incorporated.
    • Successful cloning into these sites resulted in tetracycline-resistant transformants.

    Conclusions:

    • The pUN121 plasmid vector offers an efficient positive selection strategy for molecular cloning in Escherichia coli.
    • Its compact size and multiple unique restriction sites enhance its utility for genetic manipulation.
