Mapping AS promoters. (A) Overnight growth of E. coli cells harboring plasmids with AS promoters fused to promoterless galK gene on a McConkey agar plate. The following plasmids were used: pAS-galK—a DNA fragment (from +252 to +178) of Eco29kI system fused to promoterless galK; pASmut1-galK—pAS-galK with inactive AS_P1; pASmut2-galK—pAS-galK with inactive AS_P2; pASmut3-galK—pAS-galK with inactive AS_P1 and AS_P2. (B) The results of primer extension reaction carried out with RNA purified from cells harboring a plasmid with AS promoters fused to promoterless galK gene are shown. (C) Primer extension analysis of RNA samples purified from cells harboring a plasmid with intact Eco29kI system (p29), left lane, and the same plasmid with inactive eco29kIR promoters (p29-ResPmut, right lane) with primers designed to reveal AS promoters initiated transcripts.
