Construction and Analysis of Plasmid pRB71 for lacZ and actP Gene Fusion
This document outlines the creation of plasmid pRB71, which consists of a fusion between the lacZ gene and the actP (acetate permease) gene. The fusion sequence includes a 450 bp upstream region preceding the first open reading frame (ORF) of the operon, incorporating the complete acs (acetyl-CoA synthetase) gene along with the first 317 bp of the actP gene. Further details regarding plasmid construction and the implications of this genetic arrangement are provided, aiding in the understanding of gene expression regulation in bacteria.
