The presence of repeated DNA sequences and a partial restriction map of the pSym of Rhizobium fredii USDA193.

The large, 350-kb Sym (symbiotic) plasmid pRjaUSDA193 of Rhizobium fredii was examined to determine the frequency of repeated sequences present and to produce a physical and genetic map of a large region of the plasmid. A novel hybridization method, the Southern Cross, revealed that the plasmid pRjaUSDA193 contained many repeated sequences and assisted in restriction enzyme mapping of a 100-kb region containing nod genes. A cosmid clone bank was prepared with the broad-host-range cosmid pVK102. The restriction enzymes HindIII, HpaI, and KpnI were used to construct a physical map of overlapping clones. Labeled nod gene sequences were used to determine their location in the mapped region.

Restriction Map of Rachiplusia ou and Rachiplusia ou-Autographa californica Baculovirus Recombinants.

The restriction sites of Rachiplusia ou nuclear polyhedrosis virus (RoMNPV) DNA were mapped for the endonucleases SmaI, KpnI, BamHI, SacI, XhoI, and EcoRI. Of the 60 DNA restriction sites of RoMNPV, 35 mapped in similar positions as compared to the restriction sites of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) DNA. Two plaque-purified viruses, obtained from randomly picked plaques of a wild-type isolate of RoMNPV, were recombinants of RoMNPV and AcMNPV. The recombinants were shown to have RoMNPV and AcMNPV restriction fragments as well as structural polypeptides from each parental virus. Both recombinant viruses had a major RoMNPV capsid protein but were occluded in the AcMNPV polyhedrin protein.

Cloning and restriction mapping of human HBV genome serotype adr.

A Bam HI cleaved 3.2 Kb fragment from the HBV adr genome was cloned in E. coli using pBR322 as vector. Sixteen restriction sites from the action of Bam HI, Hind III, Bgl I, Bgl II, Ava I, Hinc II, Sph I, Xba I, Xho I and Sst II were determined and mapped. No cleavage sites were found for Eco RI, Pst I, Sma I, Hpa I, Kpn I, Pvu II and Sst I. The restriction map for HBV adr is significantly different from those reported for the subtypes adw, ayw and adyw.

Restriction map of the single-stranded DNA genome of Kilham rat virus strains 171, a nondefective parvovirus.

We constructed a physical map of Kilham rat virus strains 171 DNA by analyzing the sizes and locations of restriction endonuclease-generated fragments of the replicative-form viral DNA synthesized in vitro. BglI, KpnI, BamHI, SmaI, XhoI, and XorII did not appear to have any cleavage sites, whereas 11 other enzymes cleaved the genome at one to eight sites, and AluI generated more than 12 distinct fragments. The 30 restriction sites that were mapped were distributed randomly in the viral genome. A comparison of the restriction fragments of in vivo- and in vitro-replicated replicative-form DNAs showed that these DNAs were identical except in the size or configuration of the terminal fragments.

Restriction map of the hepatitis B virus DNA cloned in Escherichia coli.

A plasmid carrying the complete genome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) inserted into the BamHI site of the pBR322 plasmid vector has been constructed. The physical map of HBV DNA established for 13 restriction endonucleases allows to conclude that the cloned DNA is similar, but not identical to the HBV DNA of ayw subtype.

Construction of a SalI/PstI restriction map of spinach chloroplast DNA using low-gelling-temperature-agarose electrophoresis.

The restriction endonucleases SalI and PstI cleave circular chloroplast DNA of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) into 12 and 10 fragments, respectively. The sum of the fragment sizes in each of the series is equivalent to the contour length of the molecule (about 95 Md). A physical map was constructed by sequential digestions using low-gelling-temperature agarose to avoid the necessity of extracting the fragments from the gel. The circular DNA molecule of spinach chloroplasts consists of two identical sequences (each about 15 Md) arranged as an inverted repeat separated by two single-copy regions of different sizes (about 52 and 13 Md).

Restriction map of Tn7.

Tn7, a transposon of 14 kb, encodes resistance to trimethoprim (Tp) and streptomycin (Sm). A cleavage site map of this transposon for twenty-two different restriction enzymes as determined by comparison of restriction enzyme cleavage patterns of the plasmids ColE1 and ColE1::Tn7 is presented. The precise localization of these sites was facilitated by the use of two deletion derivatives of ColE1::Tn7: pGB2 and ColE1::Tn7 delta 6, and by the use of pOB14 and pOB15 which contain a part of Tn7 cloned into the plasmid pBR322. This map should aid in the study of the structural and genetic organization of this transposon.

A BlnI restriction map of the Salmonella typhimurium LT2 genome.

BlnI or AvrII (5'-CCTAGG) sites are very rare in the Salmonella typhimurium LT2 genome. BlnI was used to construct a physical map which was correlated with the genetic map by using three methods. First, Tn10 carries BlnI sites, and the extra restriction sites produced by 34 genetically mapped Tn10 insertions were physically mapped by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Second, six genetically mapped Mud-P22 prophage insertions were used to assign BlnI fragments. Integration of Mud-P22 introduces 30 kb of DNA that can easily be detected by a "shift up" in all but the largest BlnI fragments. Finally, induced Mud-P22 insertions package more than 100 kb of genomic DNA adjacent to one side of the insertion. Some of the smaller BlnI fragments were localized by hybridization to a dot blot array of 52 lysates from induced Mud-P22 insertions. Of the 10 BlnI sites mapped, 6 probably occur in or near the 16S rRNA genes at about 55, 71, 83, 86, 88.5, and 89.5 min. There is one BlnI site in the 90-kb pSLT plasmid. Two additional BlnI fragments of about 7 and 4 kb have not been localized. The size of the genome was estimated as 4.78 Mb (+/- 0.1 Mb) excluding pSLT but including prophages Fels-1 and Fels-2. One BlnI fragment that maps between 55 and 59 min showed a 40-kb reduction in size in a strain cured of the approximately 40-kb Fels-2 prophage.

Restriction mapping of the genome of the protozoan parasite Theileria parva.

We have used a modified linking clone strategy and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to derive a map of the 29 Sfi I and 4 Not I sites in the 10 million base pair genome of the protozoan parasite Theileria parva. This was achieved in the absence of classical genetic information. The map reveals four chromosomes. Several genes, including those for parasite antigens, have been located on the map, as has the single locus carrying the major repetitive sequence in this organism. The map forms the basis for a study of sexual recombination in T. parva, which will be of importance in the application of present methods of immunization. Aspects of the mapping strategy may be useful in the study of other small eukaryotic genomes.

[Restriction mapping of genome and nucleotide sequence of Aujeszky's disease virus strains isolated in CIS].

Auesku disease virus--suid herpesvirus type I (SHV-1) genome is analyzed by the restriction fragment pattern analysis. The analyzed strains isolated in CIS countries in 1962-1992 were compared with the European strains. Genomes of field strains Arsk, Turkmenia, and Geneva differed and even lacked the restriction fragments typical of vaccine strains MK-25 or UNIIEV-18S, which agrees with the results of the neutralization test. Immunobiological characteristics of SHV-1 strains are discussed.

A restriction map of cauliflower mosaic virus DNA (strain PV 147). Mapping of the cleavage sites of HhaI, SacI, AvaI, PvuII, PstI, XbaI, EcoRI, Bg/II, HincII, HpaII and HindII + III.

The virion-extracted DNA (Mr5 x 10(6)) of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) has three single-stranded interruptions. The mapping of this DNA using eleven restriction endonucleases (HhaI, SacI, AvaI, PvuII, PstI, XbaI, EcoRI, Bg/II, HincII, HpaII and HindII + III) is reported here. The existence of the three single-stranded breaks complicates the identification and the molecular weight determination of fragments produced by HpaII, HindIII and HindII + III. Indeed the electrophoretic mobility of some fragments in which a single-stranded discontinuity is located is modified, and the fluorescence of ethidium bromide complexed with these fragments is reduced as compared to that observed for the other fragments existing in a molar ratio. These drawbacks were overcome by performing experiments of nick-translation of CaMV DNA with Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. FRom the data it follows that the CaMV DNA molecule bears bears 1 site for HhaI and SacI, 2 for AvaI and PvuII, 3 for PstI, 4 for XbaI, 5 for EcoRI, 6 for Bg/II and HincII, 11 for HpaII and 15 for HindII + III. The corresponding fragments have all been ordered and precisely located providing a suitable map for further investigations connected with the study of the fine structure and the function of the CaMV genome.

High-resolution restriction maps of bacterial artificial chromosomes constructed by optical mapping.

Large insert clone libraries have been the primary resource used for the physical mapping of the human genome. Research directions in the genome community now are shifting direction from purely mapping to large-scale sequencing, which in turn, require new standards to be met by physical maps and large insert libraries. Bacterial artificial chromosome libraries offer enormous potential as the chosen substrate for both mapping and sequencing studies. Physical mapping, however, has come under some scrutiny as being "redundant" in the age of large-scale automated sequencing. We report the development and applications of nonelectrophoretic, optical approaches for high-resolution mapping of bacterial artificial chromosome that offer the potential to complement and thereby advance large-scale sequencing projects.

Construction of a restriction map and gene map of the lettuce chloroplast small single-copy region using Southern cross-hybridization.

The small single-copy region (SSCR) of the chloroplast genome of many higher plants typically contain ndh genes encoding proteins that share homology with subunits of the respiratory-chain reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase complex of mitochondria. A map of the lettuce chloroplast SSCR has been determined by Southern cross-hybridization, taking advantage of the high degree of homology between a tobacco small single-copy fragment and a corresponding lettuce chloroplast fragment. The gene order of the SSCR of lettuce and tobacco chloroplasts is similar. The cross-hybridization method can rapidly create a primary gene map of unknown chloroplast fragments, thus providing detailed information of the localization and arrangement of genes and conserved open reading frame regions.
