Cloning and restriction mapping of the alkaline phosphatase structural gene (phoA) of Escherichia coli and generation of deletion mutants in vitro.

ABSTRACT

The structural gene for alkaline phosphatase (phoA) of Escherichia coli was cloned into the PstI site of pBR322, from a transducing bacteriophage, lambda p(phoA-proC). The restriction map of the plasmid was established. Based upon this information, several phoA deletion plasmids as well as a smaller phoA+ plasmid were constructed. The genetic map and restriction map were correlated by recombination analysis. Cells carrying one of the phoA+ plasmids overproduce alkaline phosphatase 10-fold upon phosphate limitation. However, both regulation and processing of the enzyme were found to be normal.
