Two plasmid systems were used successfully for entrapping and analyzing IS1 plasmid insertion mutants in E. coli. Plasmid pS177 carries the sucrose-sensitive sacR/B genes and cells harboring the plasmid are lethal on 5% sucrose plates. Plasmid DNAs of the survivor colonies were extracted and screend for insertions of IS1 by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization. Ninety-one IS1 plasmid insertion mutants were collected and their insertion junction sequences determined. The results indicated that there were total of 24 insertions sistes for the 91 plasmid IS1 insertion mutants. The insertions were distributed fairly random in the target sacR/B genes.
Plasmids pBLT and pBLA were originally constructed by cloning the immunity region of bacteriophage lambda into the EcoRI site of pBR322 in both orientations. They carry the temperature-sensitive cI857 gene and part of the lambda left operon containing the left promoter/operator, N gene, tL1, and ral, cIII, ssb and kil genes. Cells harboring the plasmid are lethal at 40℃ because that the temperature-sensitive cI857 repressor is non-functional at 40℃ and the Kil protein is expressed. Plasmid DNAs of the six-hundred-and-ninety 40℃ survivor colonies were extracted and again screened for insertions of IS1 by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization. The restriction mapping results indicated that of the 323 IS1 insertions isolated, 226 had insertions in the N gene, 6 in the ssb gene and 91 in the kil gene. Nineteen IS1 insertion mutant plasmids, of which 5 had insertions in the N gene, 6 had insertions in the ssb gene and 8 had insertions in the kil gene, were randomly picked for insertion junction sequence determination. and the results confirmed the mapping results. Insertions in the N or kil gene were detected in both orientations at about equal frequency; but insertions in the ssb gene were detected only in one orientation in which transcription of the IS1 transposase is in the same direction as the oL/pL transcription.
