    Notes: Abstract Two pieces of data are needed to fully map the location of a transposon inserted in a plasmid, the site of insertion and the transposon's orientation. Both of these parameters can be determined from a map of restriction sites, which can be derived by end-probing. Like restriction mapping, end-probing reveals the distance between restriction sites on a plasmid. In contrast to restriction mapping, end-probing unambiguously reveals the order of those restriction sites. End-probing is similar to end-labeling, except that the uncertainties inherent in the radiolabeling reaction (and the problems of working with radionucleotides) are avoided. In this paper we discuss the use of end-probing as a means to map insertions of transposon Tn917 into the Streptococcus agalactiae plasmid pGB354

    Site-specific homologous recombination mutagenesis in group B streptococci (1998)
    Springer
    Methods in cell science 20 (1998), S. 13-20 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-0603
    Keywords: Capsule synthesis ; Mutagenesis ; Recombination ; Streptococci ; Suicide vector
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract We describe the use of suicide vectors to generate site-specific mutations in group B streptococcus. This is accomplished by cloning gene-specific sequences into a temperature sensitive plasmid and selecting for clones which have undergone homologous recombination. The recombinan clones can be easily isolated by selecting for clones which have retained the antibiotic resistance markers that are present on the vector or cloned into the gene-specific sequences. To confirm the fidelity of the recombination events, PCR analysis is performed on chromosomal DNA isolated from the recombinant clones. Using this strategy, we have generated site- specific insertions in several capsule genes and have found that these insertions occurred as expected and that the mutations result in loss of capsule expression. In this report, we specifically detail the construction of cpsB mutants by single and double cross-over recombination and demonstrate that the resulting strains are acapsular.
