Streptococcus mutanschromosomal DNA cloned into the vector plasmid pBR322 inEscherichia coliis able to complement the metabolic defect of an aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.11) gene (asd) deletion in the host strain. We constructed two Asd+recombinant plasmids, pYA570 and pYA571, containing 4·7 and 4·5 kilobases, respectively, ofS. mutanschromosomal DNA inserted into theHindIII restriction endonuclease site of pBR322 in the same orientation. TheS. mutansUAB62 Asd+DNA did not hybridize withE. coliDNA which contained an intactasdgene, but did hybridize withS. mutansUAB62 chromosomal DNA. Derivative Asd+plasmids were then constructed from pYA570. One, pYA574, had a 4·5 kilobaseS. mutansinsert DNA in the opposite direction from pYA570. In another, pYA575, theS. mutansinsert DNA was reduced in size to 1·3 kilobases. It was seen that the orientation of theS. mutansDNA fragment inserted into the promoter region of the pBR322 tetracycline resistance (Tcr) gene affected expression of Tcr. Orientation of theS. mutansinsert also affected the stability of the plasmid in certainE. colistrains. Restriction maps for pYA570, pYA571, pYA574 and pYA575 using the endonucleasesEcoRI,BamHI,HindIII,PstI andSalI were determined. Asd+plasmid-directed protein synthesis was studied inE. coliminicells. The plasmids pYA570, pYA574 and pYA575 each produced large amounts of a protein, with a monomeric molecular weight of about 45000, that was distinct from both pBR322 andE. colispecified protein; this protein is theS. mutans asdgene product. Smaller derivatives of recombinant plasmid pYA575 that were Asd−allowed the location of theS. mutans asdgene promoter and the direction of transcription to be determined.
