Plasmids carrying various portions of colicin E1 plasmid (Co1E1) DNA were isolated to determine the regions of Co1E1 DNA which are required for maintenance of the plasmid in bacteria [Escherichia coli]. To construct the plasmids, the DNA of a Co1E1 derivative that contains a gene which controls ampicillin resistance was cleaved by the restriction endonuclease HaeII. The digestion products were joined by [phage] T4 DNA ligase and then used to transform bacteria to ampicillin resistance. The plasmid derivatives obtained in this way were always composed of certain HaeII segments. These contain approximately 10% of the Co1E1 genome and include the origin of replication of Co1E1. The region of Co1E1 which is common to all these derivatives is required for maintenance of the plasmid. After a description of these results, the nucleotide sequence of this region is presented, and possible roles of the region in plasmid replication and maintenance are discussed.
