Physical map of the recA gene

Physical map of the recA gene

Abstract

We have cloned the recA gene of Echerichia coli K12 and some of its restriction fragments on the plasmid cloning vehicle pBR322. The recA gene was mapped with regard to the restriction sites of EcoRI, BamHI, Pst I, Hha I, Hae III, HinfI, and Taq I restriction endonucleases. The recA promoter was localized by the binding of RNA polymerase to restriction fragments. The initiation point of transcription of recA mRNA and the direction of transcription were determined from in vitro transcription of recA gene fragments and from analysis of the polypeptides made in maxicells that contain plasmids carrying only part of the recA gene.
