Abstract
A versatile plasmid cloning vector pRL60 carrying kanamycin/neomycin resistance (km/neo), erythromycin resistance (ermE) and alpha-amylase (alpha-amy) marker genes that replicates in various Amycolatopsis mediterranei strains and Escherichia coli has been constructed. This cloning vector has been derived from a hybrid plasmid pRL50, which was developed by cloning ermE from pIJ4026 into a pRL1 derivative pULAM2. While cloning ermE into the BamHI site of pULAM2, only a hybrid plasmid pRL50 with an additional copy of pULAM2 was selected. Thus pRL50 (18.7 kb) contained two copies each of the km/neo, alpha-amy, and one copy of ermE. When pRL50 was transformed into A. mediterranei DSM 40773 through electroporation and selected under erythromycin resistance, the plasmid underwent a spontaneous deletion of 8.5 kb fragment resulting in the formation of plasmid pRL60. pRL60 (10.2 kb) is a shuttle vector between A. mediterranei and E. coli with three marker genes: km/neo, ermE and alpha-amy. ermE is expressed in A. mediterranei thus allowing good selection of transformants. The alpha-amy gene of pRL60 is also expressed in A. mediterranei DSM 40773 and its activity can be easily detected on starch containing medium after iodine staining. M...Continue Reading
