E. Kinner et al., SEQUENCE-ANALYSIS OF COHESIVE ENDS OF THE ACTINOPHAGE RP3 GENOME AND CONSTRUCTION OF A TRANSDUCIBLE SHUTTLE VECTOR, FEMS microbiology letters, 118(3), 1994, pp. 283-289
The sequence of the cohesive ends of actinophage RP3 DNA has been dete
rmined. As with all other phages of Gram-positive bacteria that have b
een studied sofar, RP3 DNA has 3'-protruding ends. A shuttle cosmid ha
s been constructed containing this cas area which can be efficiently t
ransduced by phage RP3 to host cells of Streptomyces rimosus.
