The amidase genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were inserted into a lambda replacement vector following cleavage with the restriction endonuclease HindIII. The recombinant lambdaami was detected by enhanced growth of Escherichia coli around plaques of the recombinant phage on minimal medium containing acetamide as the nitrogen source. Low levels of amidase activity were detected in E. coli cultures infected with lambdaami and these were sufficient to allow growth with acetamide as nitrogen source. Lysis-defective derivatives of lambdaami were made by introducing Q-, S-, mutations. Cultures of E. coli infected with lambdaamiQ-S- synthesised amidase as the major protein. The amidase produced by these cultures was identical to that produced by PAC strains of P. aeruginosa in substrate specificty, thermal stability and immunological cross-reaction.

Large-insert genomic libraries are necessary for physical mapping of large chromosomal regions, for isolation of complete genes, and for use as intermediates in DNA sequencing of entire genomes. Construction of BAC and PAC libraries is detailed in the unit, including preparation of PAC or BAC vector DNA for cloning by digestion with BamHI or EcoRI, dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase, and purification through pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). For the preparation of high-molecular weight DNA for cloning, procedures for embedding total genomic DNA from lymphocytes or animal tissue cells are also provided. Other protocols detail partial digestion of genomic DNA with MboI or with a combination of EcoRI endonuclease and EcoRI methylase (including methods for optimizing the extent of digestion), and subsequent size fractionation by preparative PFGE. Finally, the isolation of BAC and PAC plasmid DNA for analyzing clones is also presented.

This unit describes the construction of BAC and PAC libraries. Two vectors, pCYPAC2 and pPAC4 have been used for preparing PAC libraries, and a new BAC vector pBACe3.6 has been developed for construction of BAC libraries. A support protocol describes preparation of PAC or BAC vector DNA for cloning by digestion with BamHI or EcoRI, simultaneous dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase, and subsequent purification through pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). For the preparation of high-molecular weight DNA for cloning, support protocols provide procedures for embedding total genomic DNA from lymphocytes or animal tissue cells, respectively, in InCert agarose. Another support protocol details the next steps for the genomic DNA: partial digestion with MboI or with a combination of EcoRI endonuclease and EcoRI methylase, and subsequent size fractionation by preparative PFGE. The final support protocol covers the isolation of BAC and PAC plasmid DNA for analyzing clones.
