TLDR
Escherichia coli cells are 4--6 times more transformable and 20--30 times more competent after 24 h incubation in cold calcium chloride than immediately after calcium chloride treatment.

Restriction map of the Escherichia coli malA region and identification of the malT product.

O Raibaud, +1 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the size of the malT gene support the conclusion that the 94,000-dalton polypeptide which was not produced by identical strains carrying similar plasmids in which malT was partially deleted is themalT product.

Nucleotide sequence of the guaB locus encoding IMP dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli K12.

TL;DR: IMP dehydrogenase, the product of the guaB locus in Escherichia coli K12, catalyzes the synthesis of XMP by the NAD+ dependent oxidation of IMP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and characterization of faithful and altered clones of the genomes of cauliflower mosaic virus isolates Cabb B-JI, CM4-184, and Bari I.

TL;DR: All the deletions overlap one or two of the specific single-stranded breaks characteristic of caulimoviruses, suggesting that sequences surrounding the breaks are not dispensable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning, functional expression and promoter analysis of xylanase III gene from Trichoderma reesei

TL;DR: The results suggest that xyn3 expression in T. reesei QM9414 is silenced, and the deduced amino acid sequence of XYN III revealed considerable homology with xylanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seventeen base pairs of region I encode a novel tripartite binding signal for SV40 T antigen.

TL;DR: It is proposed that any two of the three sequence signals are sufficient to determine the unique arrangement of a bound protein dimer.

Construction and characterization of new cloning vehicles. II. A multipurpose cloning system.

TL;DR: In vitro recombination techniques were used to construct a new cloning vehicle, pBR322, which is a relaxed replicating plasmid, does not produce and is sensitive to colicin E1, and carries resistance genes to the antibiotics ampicillin (Ap) and tetracycline (Tc).

Nonchromosomal Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria: Genetic Transformation of Escherichia coli by R-Factor DNA

TL;DR: Covalently-closed, catenated, and open (nicked) circular forms of R-factor DNA are all effective in transformation, but denaturation and sonication abolish the transforming ability of R.factor DNA in this system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium-dependent bacteriophage DNA infection.

TL;DR: Escherichia coli cells of strain K12 and C can be made competent to take up temperate phage DNA without the use of “helper phage”, and is effective for both linear and circular DNA molecules.
