Targeted insertion of a plasmid by homologous recombination was demonstrated in zebrafish ES cell cultures. Two selection strategies were used to isolate ES cell colonies that contained targeted plasmid insertions in either the no tail or myostatin I gene. One selection strategy involved the manual isolation of targeted cell colonies that were identified by the loss of fluorescent protein gene expression. A second strategy used the diphtheria toxin A-chain gene in a positive-negative selection approach. Homologous recombination was confirmed by PCR, sequence and Southern blot analysis and colonies isolated using both selection methods were expanded and maintained for multiple passages. The results demonstrate that zebrafish ES cells have potential for use in a cell-mediated gene targeting approach.  相似文献

A large-scale transformation procedure handling an adequate number of stable transformants with highly efficient positive-negative selection is a necessary prerequisite to successful gene targeting by homologous recombination, as the integration of a transgene by somatic homologous recombination in higher plants has been reported to be 10-3 to 10-5 compared with random integration by non-homologous end joining. We established an efficient and large-scale Agrobacterium-mediated rice transformation protocol that generated around 103 stable transformants routinely from 150 seeds and a strong positive-negative selection procedure that resulted in survivors at 10-2 using the gene for diphtheria toxin A fragment as a negative marker. The established transformation procedure provides a basis for efficient gene targeting in rice.Abbreviations AS: Acetosyringone - 5-FU: 5-Fluorouracil - FW: Fresh weight - GT: Gene targeting - HR: Homologous recombination - NHEJ: Non-homologous end joining Communicated by H.

A variety of experimental approaches have been devised recently to mutate mammalian genes by homologous recombination. In this report, we describe the disruption of the Hox1.3 locus by using two of these approaches, namely, positive-negative selection and activation of a promoterless gene. Interestingly, we observe similarly high frequencies of targeted disruption with both procedures. The high frequency of targeted disruption with a promoterless vector was unexpected given the extremely low level of Hox1.3 expression in the embryonic stem cell line used for these studies. These data indicate that minimal expression of the target gene is required to enrich for homologous recombination events with promoterless vectors and thus enhance the promoterless gene approach as a general strategy to mutate mammalian genes by homologous recombination.  相似文献

Targeting vectors for embryonic stem (ES) cells typically contain a mouse gene segment of >7 kb with the neo gene inserted for positive selection of the targeting event. More complex targeting vectors carry additional genetic elements (e.g. lacZ, loxP, point mutations). Here we use homologous recombination in yeast to construct targeting vectors for the incorporation of genetic elements (GEs) into mouse genes. The precise insertion of GEs into any position of a mouse gene segment cloned in an Escherichia coli/yeast shuttle vector is directed by short recombinogenic arms (RAs) flanking the GEs. In this way, complex targeting vectors can be engineered with considerable ease and speed, obviating extensive gene mapping in search for suitable restriction sites.  相似文献

The first successful and reproducible gene targeting by homologous recombination, without the concomitant occurrence of ectopic events, has been reported. This will be a powerful approach for the characterization of gene function in rice, an important crop and a model for other cereal species. Models have been proposed to explain gene replacement by homologous recombination, including a possible model for Agrobacterium-mediated gene targeting using a strong positive-negative selection.  相似文献

We report here on strategies aimed at improving the frequency of detectable recombination in plants by increasing the efficiency of selecting double-recombinants in transgenic calli. Gene targeting was approached on the Gln1 and the Pzf loci of Lotus japonicus, using Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA replacement vectors. Large flanking regions, up to 22.9 kb, surrounding a positive selection marker were presented as substrates for homologous recombination. For easier detection of putative recombinants the negative selectable marker cytosine deaminase was inserted at the outside borders of the flanking regions offered for cross-over. A combination of positive and negative selection allowing double-recombinants to grow, while counter-selecting random insertions, was used to select putative targeting events. The more than 1000-fold enrichment observed with replacement vectors designed to minimize gene silencing demonstrated the efficiency of the negative selection. Using five different replacement vectors an estimated total of 18974 transformation events were taken through the positive-negative selection procedure and 185 resistant calli obtained. Targeting events could not be verified in the survivors by PCR screening and Southern blot analysis. With this approach the frequency of detectable gene targeting in L. japonicus was below 5.3×10–5, despite the large flanking sequences offered for recombination.  相似文献

A segment of corynephage omega (tox+) DNA, containing the gene for diphtheria toxin (tox) was fragmented with restriction enzymes and the fragments cloned into M13 vectors for nucleotide sequence determination. A long open reading frame was shown to encode the tox gene by comparing the predicted amino acid sequence with that of peptides derived from the mature toxin molecule. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence shows RNA polymerase and ribosome binding signals preceding a GTG codon in the open reading frame: if this is the correct starting signal for translation, then a 25 amino acid signal peptide can be predicted for the toxin molecule.  相似文献

Vectors used for gene targeting experiments usually consist of a selectable marker flanked by two regions of homology to the targeted gene. In a homologous recombination event, the selectable marker replaces an essential element of the target gene rendering it inactive. Other applications of gene targeting technology include gene replacement (knockins) and conditional vectors which allow for the generation of inducible or tissue-specific gene-targeting events. The assembly of gene-targeting vectors is generally a laborious process requiring considerable technical skill. The procedures presented here report the application of transposons as tools for the construction of targeting vectors. Two mini-Mu transposons were sequentially inserted by in vitro transposition at each side of the region targeted for deletion. One such transposon carries an antibiotic resistance marker suitable for selection in mammalian cells. A deletion is then generated between the two transposons either by LoxP-induced recombination or by restriction digestion followed by ligation. This deletion removes part of both transposons plus the targeted region in between, leaving a transposon carrying the selectable marker flanked by two arms which are homologous to the targeted gene. Targeting vectors constructed using these transposons were electroporated into embryonic stem cells and shown to be effective in gene-targeting events.  相似文献

In order to facilitate the procedure of mammalian gene targeting, we have produced and functionally tested a series of generic vectors. Homologous recombination has been achieved with each vector. The vectors are designed for both replacement and insertional recombination, are suitable for hit and run strategies and contain all necessary genetic elements for both positive-negative and promoterless/gene fusion enrichment of homologous integrations. Multiple unique restriction sites are included to simplify the incorporation of genomic targeting sequences.  相似文献

Gene targeting is a powerful method for introducing mutations into the genome of embryonic stem cells. The most widely used approach is the positive-negative selection method in which a gene encoding a negative selection marker is cloned into the replacement vector to obtain an enrichment of properly targeted clones. Here, we present an alternative means to introduce any given negative selection marker at the ends of a replacement vector using a single ligation step, thereby avoiding laborious cloning procedures. Our results demonstrate that this fast and simple method consistently provides a high level of enrichment of appropriately targeted clones.  相似文献

Among 828 C. diphtheriae nontoxigenic cultures isolated in different region of Russia in 1994-2002, 114 cultures (13.8%) had the gene of diphtheria toxin (gene tox) and were thus called nontoxigenic tox-carrying (NTTC) strains. All NTTC strains were found to belong to biovar mitis and formed neither normal, nor "defective" diphtheria toxin. The most of NTTC strains (94%) belonged to ribotype "Moskva", not occurring among C. diphtheriae toxigenic strains. The incapacity of NNTC strains of forming diphtheria toxin was caused by mutation: the deletion of one nucleotide which led to the shift of the open reading frame and to the formation of the stop codon. The results of these studies are indicative of the fact that a sufficiently homogeneous and isolated group of C. diphtheriae nontoxigenic strains is spread in Russia. These strains carry the nonexpressing gene of diphtheria toxin and are of no epidemic importance in diphtheria infection.  相似文献

A rate-determining step in gene targeting is the generation of the targeting vector. We have developed bacteriophage gene targeting vectorology, which shortens the timeline of targeting vector construction. Using retro-recombination screening, we can rapidly isolate targeting vectors from an embryonic stem cell genomic library via integrative and excisive recombination. We have demonstrated that recombination can be used to introduce specific point mutations or unique restriction sites into gene targeting vectors via transplacement. Using the choline/ethanolamine kinase alpha and beta genes as models, we demonstrate that transplacement can also be used to introduce specifically a neo resistance cassette into a gene targeting phage. In our experience, the lambdaTK gene targeting system offers considerable flexibility and efficiency in TV construction, which makes generating multiple vectors in one week's time possible.  相似文献
