Integrase is an essential retroviral enzyme, catalyzing the stable integration of reverse transcribed DNA into cellular DNA. Several aspects of the integration mechanism, including the length of host DNA sequence duplication flanking the integrated provirus, which can be from 4 to 6 bp, and the nucleotide preferences at the site of integration, are thought to cluster among the different retroviral genera. To date only the spumavirus prototype foamy virus integrase has provided diffractable crystals of integrase-DNA complexes, revealing unprecedented details on the molecular mechanisms of DNA integration. Here, we characterize five previously unstudied integrase proteins, including those derived from the alpharetrovirus lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV), betaretroviruses Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV), and mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), epsilonretrovirus walleye dermal sarcoma virus (WDSV), and gammaretrovirus reticuloendotheliosis virus strain A (Rev-A) to identify potential novel structural biology candidates. Integrase expressed in bacterial cells was analyzed for solubility, stability during purification, and, once purified, 3′ processing and DNA strand transfer activities in vitro. We show that while we were unable to extract or purify accountable amounts of WDSV, JRSV, or LPDV integrase, purified MMTV and Rev-A integrase each preferentially support the concerted integration of two viral DNA ends into target DNA. The sequencing of concerted Rev-A integration products indicates high fidelity cleavage of target DNA strands separated by 5 bp during integration, which contrasts with the 4 bp duplication generated by a separate gammaretrovirus, the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV). By comparing Rev-A in vitro integration sites to those generated by MLV in cells, we concordantly conclude that the spacing of target DNA cleavage is more evolutionarily flexible than are the target DNA base contacts made by integrase during integration. Given their desirable concerted DNA integration profiles, Rev-A and MMTV integrase proteins have been earmarked for structural biology studies. 相似文献

A transforming sequence was identified using co-transfection of DNA from the human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7 and of a G418 resistance gene into NIH 3T3 cells, followed by tumor formation in athymic mice. This sequence, named mcf.2, was molecularly cloned. A transforming activity resides in a cosmid clone of 42 kb. mcf.2 did not cross-hybridize with the known oncogenes tested. In situ hybridization localized it on the X chromosome, probably at q27. This localization was confirmed by hybridization to a panel of human--rodent cell line DNAs. 相似文献

A line of mouse mammary epithelial cells (NMuMG) has been characterized for its ability to be stably transfected with exogenous DNA. A transfection frequency of at least 1 cell per 1,000 was obtained with the pSV2neo plasmid. Several thousand G418-resistant NMuMG cell clones can easily be generated in cotransfection of genomic DNA and pSV2neo. The NMuMG cells were isolated from normal mammary glands and do not form malignant lesions when injected into nude mice. We have cotransfected NMuMG cells with pSV2neo and genomic DNA from the human EJ bladder carcinoma line, a cell line which contains an activated c-rasH oncogene. When a pool of 4,700 G418-resistant colonies was injected into nude mice, tumors were obtained. These tumors contain a transfected human rasH gene. Genomic DNA transfection into a line of mouse epithelial cells, in combination with the selection of stable transfectants and tumor induction in nude mice, can be used to screen human tumor DNA for the presence of activated oncogenes. 相似文献

For the identification of modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR7, a functional cell-based high throughput screening (HTS) assay was developed. This assay utilizes the signal transduction pathway of mGluR7, which is negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase. A cAMP-responsive luciferase reporter gene and rat mGluR7 cDNA were cotransfected into CHO-K1 cells by electroporation. Stable recombinant cells were selected by resistance to the antibiotic G418. Functional selection was carried out by analyzing the effect of the agonist glutamate to reduce elevated cAMP levels after forskolin stimulation. Out of 83 G418-resistant cell clones, the clone with the best functional characteristics was selected. This clone displayed the strongest reduction of forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels. Glutamate (10 mM) decreased cAMP levels, as monitored by luciferase expression, by about 50%, and the more potent agonist L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate resulted in nearly complete reduction, exhibiting an EC(50) of 0.9 mM. The functional response of the clone did not change during cell passages, indicating the stability of this novel recombinant cell line. The luciferase reporter gene assay, which allows easy nonradioactive luminescence detection of mGluR7 activity, was optimized for its application in automated HTS. 相似文献

We analyzed embryonal carcinoma cell lines infected with a recombinant Moloney murine leukemia virus. Lines that carried but did not express the neo gene retained a provirus of LTR-gag-pol-neo-LTR, where LTR is a long terminal repeat, whereas all G418-resistant lines deleted regions that included the primer binding site and the splicing donor site. This suggested the presence of multiple inhibitory elements. 相似文献

Eight strains of sake yeast exhibited inherent-resistance to 100 μg/ml of Geneticin (G418). Fourteen wine yeasts and 1 shochu yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and 1 miso yeast (Zygosaccharomyces rouxii) were inherent G418-sensitive. The petites converted from inherent G418-resistants by treatment with ethidium bromide retained G418-resistance (ϱ− G418R), and thus were hybridized by electrofusion with the wine yeast W3 (ϱ+ G418S, wild type). A lag phase of 12–18 h was required prior to administration of the drug in glycerol medium when selecting G418-resistant hybridization products. Colonies were formed in the regeneration medium at a frequency of about 1 × 10−5 per used protoplasts. No growth of any parental strain (106/_~107 protoplasts) separately subjected to electrofusion and regeneration was observed. The hybridization products were G418-resistant “grande” strains (ϱ− G418R) in which the genetic traits of parental strains had been complemented. Uninucleate cells (DAPI staining) of the hybridization products showed CHEF electrophoretic karyotypes similar to that of wine yeast, but possessed a single chromosome (approx. 320 kb) presumably from sake yeast. 相似文献

Impaired glycemic control and excessive adiposity are major risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. In rodent models, Ad36, a human adenovirus, improves glycemic control, independent of dietary fat intake or adiposity. It is impractical to use Ad36 for therapeutic action. Instead, we identified that E4orf1 protein of Ad36, mediates its anti-hyperglycemic action independent of insulin signaling. To further evaluate the therapeutic potential of E4orf1 to improve glycemic control, we established a stable 3T3-L1 cell system in which E4orf1 expression can be regulated. The development and characterization of this cell line is described here. Full-length adenoviral-36 E4orf1 cDNA obtained by PCR was cloned into a tetracycline responsive element containing vector (pTRE-Tight-E4orf1). Upon screening dozens of pTRE-Tight-E4orf1 clones, we identified the one with the highest expression of E4orf1 in response to doxycycline treatment. Furthermore, using this inducible system we characterized the ability of E4orf1 to improve glucose disposal in a time dependent manner. This stable cell line offers a valuable resource to carefully study the novel signaling pathways E4orf1 uses to enhance cellular glucose disposal independent of insulin. 相似文献
