A series of plasmid vectors containing the multiple cloning site (MCS7) of M13mp7 was constructed. In one of these vectors a kanamycin resistance marker was inserted into the center of the symmetrical MCS7 to yield a restriction-site-mobilizing element (RSM). The drug resistance marker can be cleaved out of this vector with any of the restriction enzymes that recognize a site of the flanking sequences of the RSM to generate an RSM with various sticky or blunt ends. These fragments can be used for insertion mutagenesis of any target molecule with compatible restriction sites. Insertion mutants are selected by their resistance to kanamycin. When the drug-resistance marker is removed with PstI, a small in-frame insertion can be generated. Two new MCS having single restriction sites were formed by altering the symmetrical structure of MCS7. The resulting plasmids pUC8 and pUC9 allow one to clone doubly digested restriction fragments separately with both orientations in respect to the lac promoter. The terminal sequences of any DNA cloned in these plasmids can be characterized using the universal M13 primers.
