説明
Trans-kingdom conjugation is an easy and efficient method for gene transfer from prokaryotes to eukaryotes since it does not require DNA extraction and purification. We constructed novel mobilizable plasmids pAY-YAC-B and pAY-YAC-E. The origin of conjugal transfer (oriT) was inserted at two different positions, pAY-YAC-B contains oriT region in between two telomeres whereas pAY-YAC-E has oriT at the cloning site of pYAC4. By conjugation, both plasmids were successfully transferred from E. coli to S. cerevisiae and S. kluyveri yeasts with the aid of helper plasmid pRH220 which harbors mob and tra genes. The plasmids were transferred more efficiently in S. cerevisiae compared to S. kluyveri. The analyses by restriction enzyme digestion and Southern hybridization indicated that both plasmids maintained their original structure and size in transconjugant yeasts, therefore, reflecting the faithful nicking and subsequent resealing of plasmids during conjugation. The comparison between conjugative transfer and transformation has also been performed and discussed.
