Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for recombinational cloning. The compositions include vectors having multiple recombination sites and/or multiple topoisomerase recognition sites. The methods permit the simultaneous cloning of two or more different nucleic acid molecules. In some embodiments the molecules are fused together while in other embodiments the molecules are inserted into distinct sites in a vector. The invention also generally provides for linking or joining through recombination a number of molecules and/or compounds (e.g., chemical compounds, drugs, proteins or peptides, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, etc.) which may be the same or different.

Abstract: Recombinational cloning is provided by the use of nucleic acids, vectors and methods, in vitro and in vivo, for moving or exchanging segments of DNA molecules using engineered recombination sites and recombination proteins to provide chimeric DNA molecules that have the desired characteristic(s) and/or DNA segment(s).

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for recombinational cloning. The compositions include vectors having multiple recombination sites with unique specificity. The methods permit the simultaneous cloning of two or more different nucleic acid molecules. In some embodiments the molecules are fused together while in other embodiments the molecules are inserted into distinct sites in a vector. The invention also generally provides for linking or joining through recombination a number of molecules and/or compounds (e.g., chemical compounds, drugs, proteins or peptides, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, etc.) which may be the same or different. Such molecules and/or compounds or combinations of such molecules and/or compounds can also be bound through recombination to various structures or supports according to the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cells and cell strains that are resistant to the killing effects of one or more toxic genes, particularly those that kill hosts in the absence of a suppressing function, e.g., kicB or ccdB. The host cells may comprise one or more suppression mutations, such as deletional or insertional mutations in gyrA, endA, or recA, or combinations thereof (particularly gyrA/endA or gyrA/recA), which allow cell strains carrying the one or more suppression mutations to survive the presence and/or expression of one or more toxic genes within their genome or in extrachromosomal genetic elements within the host cell. Preferred host cell strains include prokaryotic host cells, particularly specified strains of E. coli containing the gyrA462 mutation and/or one or more additional mutations, such as DB3, DB3.1, DB4 and DB5.
