Relative levels of many individual proteins in Escherichia coli HB101 strains with 0, 37, 56, and 240 plasmids per chromosome were determined by computer image analysis of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis patterns. The plasmids investigated had very similar sequences except for small domains encoding the repressor of plasmid replication. At the intermediate plasmid copy number of 56, levels of several of the TCA cycle enzymes (oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, succinate thiokinase, and succinate dehydrogenase) as well as in aspartate transcarbamoylase increased. At a plasmid copy number of 240, higher amounts of PEP carboxylase as well as several of the heat shock proteins were observed. Furthermore, at high plasmid levels, significant decreases occurred in growth rate, pyruvate kinase I, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, unadenylated glutamine synthetase, aspartate transcarbamoylase as well as in several of the proteins involved in translation. Decreases in ribosome content as well as in the free 30S and 50S ribosomal subunit pool fractions were also observed in separate analyses. These results indicate that recombinant DNA manipulations can cause major alterations in numerous host cell properties which could significantly influence cloned protein production or metabolic engineering endeavors.

Cell division was synchronised in 4-litre batch cultures of Acer pseudoplatanus L. by starvation and regrowth. Up to five consecutive cell cycles were observed in each culture. Mitosis and cytokinesis were synchronised within 0.2 cell cycles. Accumulation of extractable DNA was discontinuous and separate from cytokinesis. Correction for the degree of synchrony in the population gave: G1=13-37 h, S=15 h, G2=14-19 h and M=0.9-1.3 h. Thymidine kinase activity and [(14)C]thymidine incorporation were highest during S-phase. A peak of activity of aspartate transcarbamoylase occurred during G2. Peaks in succinate dehydrogenase activity and respiration rate were observed at the initiation of DNA synthesis and just prior to mitosis. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase doubled in one step during the cell cycle. Total RNA and protein accumulated continuously through the cell cycle; the final rate being twice that observed initially.
