Sternberg discovered the recombinase, Cre, and its specific locus of crossover, lox, while studying the maintenance of bac- teriophage P1 as a stable plasmid. Recombinations mediated by Cre assist in cyclization of the DNA of infecting phage and in resolution of prophage multimers created by generalized recombination. Early in vitro work demon- strated that, although it shares similarities with the well-characterized bac- teriophage λ integration, Cre-lox is in many ways far simpler in its require- ments for carrying out recombination.

  • Participation of the Lytic Replicon in Bacteriophage P1 Plasmid Maintenance MICHAEL B

YARMOLINSKY,1* EGON B. HANSEN,'t SAMINA JAFRI,'t AND DHRUBA K. CHATTORAJ2§ Laboratory of Biochemistry, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland 20892' and Laboratory of Molecullar Biology, LBI Basic Research Program, NCI-Frederick Cancer Research Facility, Frederick, Maryland 217012 Received 7 February 1989/Accepted 15 June 1989 P1 bacteriophage carries at least two replicons: a plasmid replicon and a viral lytic replicon. Since the isolated plasmid replicon can maintain itself stably at the low copy number characteristic of intact P1 prophage, it has been assumed that this replicon is responsible for driving prophage replication. We provide evidence that when replication from the plasmid replicon is prevented, prophage replication continues, albeit at a reduced rate. The residual plasmid replication is due to incomplete repression of the lytic replicon by the ci immunity repressor. Incomplete repression was particularly evident in lysogens of the thermoinducible P1 cl.100 prophage, whose replication at 32°C remained almost unaffected when use of the plasmid replicon was prevented. Moreover, the average plasmid copy number of P1 in a P1 cl.100 lysogen was elevated with respect to the copy number of P1 c1+. The capacity of the lytic replicon to act as an auxiliary in plasmid maintenance may contribute to the extraordinary stability of P1 plasmid prophage. P1 prophage replicates in Escherichia coli as a stable, the bacterial dnaA function in a host whose own dnaA low-copy-number, 90-kilobase (kb) plasmid.

  • Site-Specific Insertion of DNA Into a Pseudorabies Virus Vector
    Proc. Nad. Acad. Sci.

I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, DE 19898 Communicated by I. Robert Lehman, August 24, 1987 ABSTRACT A simple, efficient method for introducing 34-base pair (bp) sequence composed of two 13-bp inverted recombinant DNA into a herpesvirus vector and retrieving it at repeats separated by an asymmetric 8-bp core sequence. a later time has been developed. By using the Cre-lox site- Recombination between loxP sites (i) can occur either specific recombination system of coliphage P1, DNA can be intermolecularly or intramolecularly, (ii) can occur when the readily inserted in vitro into a pseudorabies virus (PRV) vector sites are present on either supercoiled or linear DNA, and (iii) containing the lox recombination site. The vector PRV42 is independent of the relative orientation of the loxP sites on contains a lox site within the nonessential gIII gene, which the DNA molecule. Recombination between two directly encodes a virion envelope glycoprotein. Incubation in vitro of repeated sites on the same DNA molecule excises the DNA PRV42 DNA with Cre protein and a circular plasmid contain- segment lying between the sites. Conversely, Cre can inte- ing a lox site generates approximately 5% recombinant mole- grate a circular DNA molecule into a second DNA molecule cules having the plasmid integrated into the PRV genome at the if each contains a lox site.
