Table 3. oriT-specific recombination catalyzed by TrwC.
Goal of experiment | Helper plasmid | TrwC protein | Percent blue |
---|---|---|---|
TrwC-mediated recombination | pET3::trwAC | Wild-type | 100.0 |
Strand-transfer mutant | pET3::trwACmut | Y18FY26F | 0.7 |
Negative control | pSU1547 | None | 0.7 |
Transformation of helper plasmid into DH5α (pRec2oriT-Cm). Blue colonies screened after 40 generations of growth. Data are the mean of three independent assays.
