The construction and use of a series of positive-selection vectors are described. These plasmids encode EcoRI endonuclease, the synthesis of which is under the control of the lacUV5 promoter. The pKG2 plasmid encodes a wild-type EcoRI endonuclease. In the absence of EcoRI methylase, the endonuclease is lethal. Cloning into any of the unique restriction sites within the endonuclease-coding gene allows survival of the transformed EcoRI-methylase-less host. The pKGW and pKGS plasmids encode an altered EcoRI endonuclease which, when repressed in a lacIQ host, allows survival in the absence of the methylase. Induction with IPTG, however, results in cell death as a result of high-level EcoRI synthesis. Cloning into any of the unique restriction sites within the EcoRI gene of pKGW or pKGS allows survival of derepressed transformed cells. These vectors strongly select for cloning events which inactivate the endonuclease gene. |
