19. We constructed a large in-frame deletion of DotG by deleting amino acids 431 to 935 of the DotG protein (base pairs 8894 to 7471 of Genbank accession number AF026534). Replacement of the wild-type copy of dotG by ΔdorG was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and was shown not to be polar on expression of downstream proteins by immunoprobing with antibodies to the DotF protein.

21. The dotG ORF (GenBank accession number AF026534 between base pairs 7135 and 10,278 of region II) was PCR amplified and cloned into the Bam HI-Sal I sites of plasmid pKB5 (3) under expression of the tac promoter.
