Restriction Map of the R Plasmid pKU10 in Pseudomonas putida

Pseudomonas putida에 내재하는 Plasmid pKU10의 제한지도

In our laboratory a R plasmid pKU10 was isolated from Pseudomonas and its characteristics were investigated. In this study, as a basic work to improve its utility as a cloning vehicle, restriction patterns of pKU10 were analyzed for other various restriction enzymes in addition to restriction evdonucleases previously examined. As a result, pKU10 DNA has two cleavage sites for ClaI and HpaI, and three sites for AvaI. The restriction map of pKU10 was supplemented with AvaI, ClaI, and HpaI. From the result of this experiment, the usefulness of PKU10 as a cloning vector in Pseudomonas will be enhanced by constructions of mini-plasmid or hybrid plasmids.
