Fragmentation of the pYT plasmid of the plague pathogen by ten restriction endonucleases has been studied. The evidence has been obtained in support of the possible presence of the movable genetic element containing a HindIII site within the plasmid pYT. The gene encoding the I fraction of the plague pathogen has been cloned. The physical map of the pYT plasmid has been constructed with the use of restriction endonucleases BamHI, XhoI, BstEII, SmaI, EcoRI, and HindIII. The fragment of the plasmid DNA coding for the synthesis of the plague pathogen fraction I has been mapped.
