DNA fragments obtained from EcoRI endonuclease digestion of bacteriophage varphi80pt190 (trp(+)) and the plasmid ColE1 were covalently joined with polynucleotide ligase. Transformation of Escherichia coli trp(-) strains to tryptophan independence with the recombined DNA selected for reconstituted ColE1 plasmids containing the tryptophan operon and the varphi80 immunity region. Similarly, an EcoRI endonuclease generated fragment of plasmid pSC105 DNA containing the genetic determinant of kanamycin resistance was inserted into the ColE1 plasmid and recovered in E. coli. The plasmids containing the trp operon (ColE1-trp) and the kanamycin resistance gene were maintained under logarithmic growth conditions at a level of 25-30 copies per cell and accumulate to the extent of several hundred copies per cell in the presence of chloramphenicol. Cells carrying the ColE1-trp plasmid determined the production of highly elevated levels of trp operon-specific mRNA and tryptophan biosynthetic enzymes.

The early steps of excision repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are investigated. It is demonstrated that the apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease associated with the Micrococcus luteus uv-specific endonuclease cleaves the phosphodiester bond on the 3' side of the deoxyribose leaving a 3' hydroxy terminus and a 5' phosphoryl terminus. This nick is not a substrate for T4 polynucleotide ligase. The 3' base-free deoxyribose terminus is not a substrate for either the polymerase or the 3' to 5' exonuclease activities of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. However, the 3' terminus of the nick is converted to a substrate for DNA polymerization by the action of a 5' apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease. A three-step model for the incision step of excision repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers is presented.
