Additional Information:

The M13mp18 and M13mp19 vectors are derivatives of the single-stranded, male-specific filamentous DNA bacteriophage M13. Both vectors are 7250 bp in length and have the same MCS inserted in opposing orientations. The vector DNAs contain a region of E.coli operon lac containing CAP protein binding site, promoter Plac, lac repressor binding site and 5'-terminal part of lacZ gene encoding the N-terminal fragment of beta-galactosidase (codons 6-7 of lacZ are replaced by MCS). This fragment, whose synthesis can be induced by IPTG, is capable of intra-allelic (a) complementation with a defective form of beta-galactosidase encoded by host (mutation lacZDM15). This results in appearance of blue plaques on media containing IPTG and X-gal. Recombinant phages containing inserts that destroy the reading frame of lacZ are revealed as colorless plaques. Synthesis of viral (plus) single-stranded DNA requires the phage-encoded gene II, X and V proteins. It is initiated at ori (+) and proceeds in the direction indicated. The conversion of plus DNA strands to double strands does not require any of the phage genes. DNA synthesis is initiated by a 30-nucleotide RNA primer synthesised by host's RNA polymerase and starting at ori (-). Double-stranded circular DNA (replicative form, or RF) can be isolated from cells by standard plasmid preparation techniques and used for cloning experiments, while the single-stranded viral DNA (+ strand) can be isolated from phage particles collected from culture medium.

The M13mp18/19 genes are shown on the map (M13 genes are transcribed clockwise). The map shows enzymes that cut M13mp18/19 DNA once. Enzymes produced by Fermentas are shown in green. The coordinates refer to the position of first nucleotide in each recognition sequence.
