Abstract DNA fragments complementing theenvC mutation could be isolated by cloning chromosomal DNA in the vector pUH84. When the frequencies of transformation and the frequencies of restoring theenvC + phenotype were compared, the high copy number hybrid plasmids complemented with a frequency of 10−5. After subcloning theenvC-complementing DNA fragment into the low copy number plasmid pLG339, efficient complementation was achieved by spontaneous integration of the IS2 element ofEscherichia coli. By nucleotide sequence analysis, a potential promoter, a ribosome-binding site, and an unidentified reading frame were detected in the respective DNA fragment.
