| Abstract |
A physical map of the chromosome of Streptomyces lividans 66 ZX7 was constructed by ordering the macrorestriction fragments generated from the genomic DNA with the restriction enzymes AseI and DraI. AseI and DraI linking cosmids (i.e., recombinant cosmids including either AseI or DraI sites) were isolated from a gene bank and used as hybridization probes against Southern transfers of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) restriction patterns. The DraI sites were precisely mapped by PFGE analyses of AseI-DraI double digests and hybridization with the AseI junctions. The 16 AseI and 7 DraI fragments were aligned as a single chromosome of about 8,000 kb. The data supported the interpretation that the chromosome is a linear structure. The related strain Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) M145, recently mapped by H. Kieser, T. Kieser, and D. A. Hopwood (J. Bacteriol. 174:5496-5507, 1992), was compared with S. lividans at the level of the genomic structure by hybridizing the linking cosmids to Southern transfers of PFGE patterns. In spite of little apparent similarity in their restriction patterns, the comparison of the physical maps revealed a common structure with an identical ordering of the cosmid sequences. This conservation of the map order was further confirmed by assigning genetic markers (i.e., cloned genes and DNA elements relevant to the unstable region) to the AseI fragments. |
