Colorimetric Assay to Identify Putative Ribofuranosylaminobenzene 5'-Phosphate Synthase Genes Protocol for Colorimetric Assay to Identify Putative Ribofuranosylaminobenzene 5'-Phosphate Synthase Genes. The production of active RFAP synthase from Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus was achieved by coexpression of the gene MTH0830 with a molecular chaperone. This is the first direct biochemical identification of a methanogen gene that codes for an active RFAP synthase.
Generation of Gene Deletions and Gene Replacements in Escherichia coli Protocol Protocol for the generation of gene deletions and gene replacements in Escherichia coli O157:H7 using a temperature sensitive allelic exchange system. Technology requires flanking DNA to be cloned into a temperature sensitive vector but the resulting clone allows great flexibility for further modification of the target sequence. It is therefore highly suited to the study of genes in which several rounds of changes are envisaged.
Precision Engineering of Plant Gene Loci by Homologous Recombination Cloning in E coli Protocol Protocol for precision engineering of plant gene loci by homologous recombination cloning in Escherichia coli. Describe the basis for homologous recombination cloning in E. coli, the available tools and resources, together with a protocol for long range cloning and manipulation of an Arabidopsis thaliana gene locus, to create constructs co-ordinately driven by locus-specific regulatory elements.
Systematic Mutagenesis of E.coli K-12 MG1655 ORFs Protocol Protocol for systematic mutagenesis of E.coli K-12 MG1655 ORFs. Includes: Mutagenesis Project Progress; Construction of Sce-poson mutants; Mutagenesis of Essential Genes; Gene Gorging.
