The pelC gene, which encodes one of the five major pectate lyase (PL) isoenzymes in Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937, designated PLc, was subcloned from a hybrid lambda phage into a pBR322 derivative and mutagenized with a mini-Mu-lacZ transposable element able to form fusions to the lacZ gene. One plasmid (pAD1) which had an inactivated pelC gene and a Lac+ phenotype was selected in Escherichia coli. This plasmid was introduced into Erwinia chrysanthemi, and the pelC::mini-Mu insertion was substituted for the chromosomal allele by homologous recombination. This strain lacks the PLc isoenzyme. This Erwinia chrysanthemi strain has a Lac+ phenotype that is inducible by polygalacturonate, as are the wild-type PL activities.
pelC基因编码菊欧文氏菌3937中五种主要果胶酸裂解酶(PL)同工酶之一,命名为PLc,该基因从杂交λ噬菌体亚克隆到pBR322衍生物中,并用能够与lacZ基因形成融合体的mini-Mu-lacZ转座元件进行诱变。在大肠杆菌中筛选出一个具有失活pelC基因和Lac+表型的质粒(pAD1)。将该质粒导入菊欧文氏菌,通过同源重组,pelC::mini-Mu插入取代了染色体等位基因。该菌株缺乏PLc同工酶。该菊欧文氏菌菌株具有Lac+表型,该表型可被聚半乳糖醛酸诱导,野生型PL活性也如此。
