TL;DR: This chapter discusses the cloning vehicles related to plasmids ColE1, F, R6K, and RK2, which are of use as cloning vehicles in gram-negative bacteria other than Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugative DNA metabolism in Gram-negative bacteria.
TL;DR: The biochemistry of relaxosomes is reviewed and some of the remaining questions about the nature of the signal that begins the process of bacterial conjugation are pondered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regions of broad-host-range plasmid RK2 which are essential for replication and maintenance
TL;DR: The results indicate that at least two plasmid-encoded genes, capable of acting in trans, and a replication origin are required for RK2 replication and maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replication and conjugative mobilization of Broad Host-range IncQ plasmids
TL;DR: The IncQ plasmids have a broader host-range than any other known replicating element in bacteria and can be conjugatively mobilized by a variety of different type IV transporters, including those engaged in the secretion of proteins involved in pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and genetic studies with restriction endonucleases on the broad host-range plasmid RK2.
TL;DR: The cleavage map of the plasmid RK2 was determined for the five restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII, Bam H-I, Sal I and Hpa I and indicated that genes required for the maintenance of this plasmids in E. coli are not tightly clustered.
