Sp. Legchilina et al., Autonomous replication of a Bombyx mori transgene fragment in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RUSS J GEN, 37(11), 2001, pp. 1257-1265
A previously cloned autonomous transgene (pr8a) of silkworm Bombyx mori inh
erited without changes in the structure was used to clarify the activity of
its ARS in yeast cells. ARS of pr8a was also shown to maintain autonomous
replication of hybrid plasmids in yeast cells. The same was true for its ce
ntral 2.4-kb fragment devoid of flanking sequences.
