Characterization of PBSX, a defective prophage of Bacillus subtilis

Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

PBSX, a defective Bacillus subtilis prophage, maps to the metA-metC region of the chromosome. DNA (33 kilobases) from this region of the chromosome was cloned and analyzed by insertional mutagenesis with the integrating plasmid pWD3. This plasmid had a promoterless alpha-amylase gene (amyL) that provided information on the direction and level of transcription at the site of integration. Transcription under the control of the PBSX repressor proceeded in the direction metA to metC over a distance of at least 18 kilobases. Electrophoretic analysis of proteins produced by different integrant strains upon PBSX induction and by fragments subcloned in Escherichia coli allowed the identification of early and late regions of the prophage. A set of contiguous fragments directing mutagenic integration suggested that the minimum size of an operon that encodes phage structural proteins is 19 kilobases. The adaptation of PBSX transcriptional and replicational functions to a chromosomally based, thermoinducible expression system is discussed.
