We successively subcloned the dnaE gene of Escherichia coli into pBR322, resulting in a plasmid that contains 4.6 kilobases of E. coli DNA. This plasmid can complement a dnaE temperature-sensitive mutation. A restriction map of the dnaE gene and the surrounding 10.7-kilobase region of the E. coli chromosome was determined. A unique HindIII restriction endonuclease site within the cloned segment of DNA was identified as a site required for expression of the dnaE gene. By using the maxicell plasmid-directed protein synthesizing system, we demonstrated that dnaE codes for the alpha subunit of DNA polymerase III.

In this study, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer set capable of amplifying a mitochondrial DNA segment of multiple species (cattle, sheep, goats, deer, and elk) whose rendered remains are prohibited from being fed to ruminants was characterized. However, the primer set also amplifies DNA derived from the rendered remains of pigs and horses, which are exempt from the feed ban. PCR amplicons derived from pig DNA have a restriction endonuclease site recognized by Hinf1, while the horse DNA–derived amplicon has a unique restriction endonuclease site recognized by HypCH4III. This “universal” PCR primer produced an amplicon with DNA extracted from dairy feed containing either bovine meat and bone meal or pig blood meal. Enzymatic digestion of the PCR amplicons from these feed samples with Hinf1 resulted in cleavage products only from samples containing pig blood meal. However, Hinf1 digestion of these amplicons was not complete. Further analysis of the pig blood meal with primers specific for bovine or porcine DNA demonstrated the presence of both bovine- and porcine-derived DNA. Enzymatic digestion confirmed these findings. Additional testing was conducted with dry dog food samples labeled as containing either lamb, chicken, turkey, or chicken and fish. The universal PCR primer produced an amplicon only for the dog food containing lamb meal. This paper is the first to describe a simplified approach for the detection of the prohibited species of concern in the feed ban.

When genomic DNA from the free-living nematode Panagrellus silusiae is digested with the restriction endonuclease BamHI and separated by electrophoresis, a band in the 700 base pair size range is evident after ethidium bromide staining. One of the 0.7-kilobase fragments (PS700-1) was characterized and found to be a member of a moderately repetitive DNA family (T. Warren and J.J. Pasternak. 1988. Nucleic Acids Res. 16: 10 833 – 10 847). In the current study, DNA sequence analyses of three independently isolated copies of the PS700 DNA family showed the same nucleotide sequence and >98% similarity to PS700-1. Four EMBL-4 bacteriophage clones were isolated from a Panagrellus genomic DNA library with PS700-1 as the probe and were analyzed by restriction endonuclease site mapping and Southern blot DNA hybridization. These clones contain 31 copies of the PS700 DNA family. In each case, the units are arranged in head-to-tail arrays. One of the EMBL-4 clones contains copies of a novel variant of the PS700 elements. The maintenance of both nucleotide sequence and restriction endonuclease restriction site homogeneity among members of the dispersed PS700 DNA family may denote a functional role for these sequences.Key words: nematode, Panagrellus, repetitive DNA organization, nucleotide sequence variation.
