摘要

We have constructed a suicide vector, pU1800, containing the transposable element TnphoA (Tn5 IS50L::phoA), for the purpose of producing protein fusions in vivo between the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (APase) and proteins of the facultative photoheterotroph, Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We introduced TnphoA into the genome of R. sphaeroides at a coupled conjugation-transposition frequency of approximately 1 x 10(-6). Fusions giving rise to APase expression, as judged by blue-colony pigmentation when exconjugants were plated on growth medium containing the chromogenic indicator 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate, were observed in about 1% of the exconjugants. Numerous, distinguishable mutant phenotypes have been generated by this method, including those which lack the ability to use dimethyl sulfoxide as a terminal electron acceptor during anaerobic respiration, as well as those which are photosynthetically incompetent or altered in pigment synthesis, and others that express resistance to chlorate. The growth and spectral characteristics of several of these mutants, as well as the localization and quantitation of subcellular APase activity under different physiological conditions, have been examined. The presence of TnphoA in the host genome has been confirmed for each mutant analyzed, and specifically tagged DNA fragments containing TnphoA have been identified and localized; cosmids containing R. sphaeroides genomic DNA capable of complementing individual mutants have also been isolated. The usefulness of this approach in studying gene activity in R. sphaeroides is discussed.
