Persistent and stable expression of foreign genes has been achieved in mammalian cells by integrating the genes into the host chromosomes. However, this approach has several shortcomings in practical applications. For example, large scale production of protein pharmaceutics frequently requires laborious amplification of the inserted genes to optimize the gene expression. The random chromosomal insertion of exogenous DNA also results occasionally in malignant transformation of normal tissue cells, raising safety concerns in medical applications. Here we report a novel cytoplasmic RNA replicon capable of expressing installed genes stably without chromosome insertion. This system is based on the RNA genome of a noncytopathic variant Sendai virus strain, Cl.151. We found that this variant virus establishes stable symbiosis with host cells by escaping from retinoic acid-inducible gene I-interferon regulatory factor 3-mediated antiviral machinery. Using a cloned genome cDNA of Sendai virus Cl.151, we developed a recombinant RNA installed with exogenous marker genes that was maintained stably in the cytoplasm as a high copy replicon (about 4 x 10(4) copies/cell) without interfering with normal cellular function. Strong expression of the marker genes persisted for more than 6 months in various types of cultured cells and for at least two months in rat colonic mucosa without any apparent side effects. This stable RNA replicon is a potentially valuable genetic platform for various biological applications. 相似文献

Stable expression of primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 structural gene products by use of a noncytopathic sindbis virus vector 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8 下载免费PDF全文
Efficient expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) structural gene products Gag, Pol, and Env involves the regulation by viral Rev and Rev-responsive elements (RRE). Removal of multiple inhibitory sequences (INS) in the coding regions of these structural genes or modification of the codon usage patterns of HIV-1 genes to those used by highly expressed human genes has been found to significantly increase HIV-1 structural protein expression in the absence of Rev and RRE. In this study, we show that efficient and stable expression of the HIV-1 structural gene products Gag and Env could be achieved by transfection with a noncytopathic Sindbis virus expression vector by using HIV-1 sequences from primary isolates without any sequence modification. Stable expression of these Gag and Env proteins was observed for more than 12 months. The fact that the Sindbis virus expression vector replicates its RNA only in the cytoplasm of the transfected cells and the fact that the lack of expression of HIV-1 Gag by the DNA vector containing unmodified HIV-1 gag sequences was associated with a lack of detectable cytoplasmic gag RNA suggest that a major blockage in the expression of HIV-1 structural proteins in the absence of Rev/RRE is caused by inefficient accumulation of mRNA in the cytoplasm. Efficient long-term expression of structural proteins of diverse HIV-1 strains by the noncytopathic Sindbis virus expression system may be a useful tool for functional study of HIV-1 gene products and vaccine research. 相似文献

Adeno-associated virus gene expression inhibits cellular transformation by heterologous genes. 总被引:46,自引:0,他引:46 下载免费PDF全文
In this paper we report that adeno-associated virus (AAV) genomes inhibit stable transformation by several dominant selectable marker genes upon cotransfection into mouse tissue culture cells. Cotransfection of AAV genomes also inhibited the expression of pSV2cat in transient assays. In both cases, the inhibitory effect was independent of AAV DNA replication but required the AAV p5 and p19 genes, which encode proteins required for AAV DNA replication and regulation of AAV gene expression. Finally, addition of a cloned E4 gene in the transfection experiments partially blocked the AAV-mediated inhibitory activities. 相似文献

Semliki Forest virus vectors for rapid and high-level expression of integral membrane proteins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lundstrom K 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》2003,1610(1):90-96
Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vectors have been applied for the expression of recombinant integral membrane proteins in a wide range of mammalian host cells. More than 50 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), several ion channels and other types of transmembrane or membrane-associated proteins have been expressed at high levels. The establishment of large-scale SFV technology has facilitated the production of large quantities of recombinant receptors, which have then been subjected to drug screening programs and structure-function studies on purified receptors. The recent Membrane Protein Network (MePNet) structural genomics initiative, where 100 GPCRs are overexpressed from SFV vectors, will further provide new methods and technologies for expression, solubilization, purification and crystallization of GPCRs. 相似文献

The recombinant Eschreichia coli strain BL21 (BAD) was constructed to carry a chromosomal copy of T7 gene 1 fused to the araBAD promoter. To further characterize this expression system, strain BL21 (BAD) was transformed with the plasmid containing the carbamoylase gene from Agrobacterium radiobacter driven by the T7 promoter. Upon induction with L-arabinose, recombinant cells produced 100-fold increase in carbamoylase activity in comparison with uninduced cells on M9 semidefined medium plus glycerol. This protein yield accounts for 30% of total cell protein content. In addition, it was found that after 100 generations the plasmid harboring the carbamoylase gene remained firmly stable in strain BL21 (BAD), but its stability dropped to only 20-30% in strain BL21 (DE3), a commercial strain bearing T7 gene 1 regulated by the lacUV5 promoter in its chromosome. In an attempt to enhance the total protein yield, fed-batch fermentation process was carried out using a two-stage feeding strategy to compartmentalize cell growth and protein synthesis. In the batch fermentation stage, the culture was grown on glucose to reach the stationary growth phase. Subsequently, glycerol was fed to the culture broth and L-arabinose was augmented to induce protein production when cells entered the late log growth phase. As a result, a carbamoylase yield corresponding to 5525 units was obtained, which amounts to a 337-fold increase over that achieved on a shake-flask scale. Taken together, these results illustrate the practical usefulness of T7 system under control of the araBAD promoter for heterologous protein production. 相似文献

A new integrative vector (pCJR24) was constructed for use in the erythromycin producer Saccharopolyspora erythraea and in other actinomycetes. It includes the pathway-specific activator gene actII–ORF4 from the actinorhodin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces coelicolor. The actI promoter and the associated ribosome binding site are located upstream of an NdeI site (5′-CATATG-3′) which encompasses the actI start codon allowing protein(s) to be produced at high levels in response to nutritional signals if these signals are faithfully mediated by the ActII–ORF4 activator. Several polyketide synthase genes were cloned in pCJR24 and overexpressed in S. erythraea after integration of the vector into the chromosome by homologous recombination, indicating the possibility that the S. coelicolor promoter/activator functions appropriately in S. erythraea. pCJR24-mediated recombination was also used to place the entire gene set for the erythromycin-producing polyketide synthase under the control of the actI promoter. The resulting strain produced copious quantities of erythromycins and precursor macrolides when compared with wild-type S. erythraea. The use of this system provides the means for rational strain improvement of antibiotic-producing actinomycetes. 相似文献

Ubiquitin promoter-based vectors for high-level expression of selectable and/or screenable marker genes in monocotyledonous plants 总被引:48,自引:7,他引:48
A set of plasmids has been constructed utilizing the promoter, 5 untranslated exon, and first intron of the maize ubiquitin (Ubi-1) gene to drive expression of protein coding sequences of choice. Plasmids containing chimaeric genes for ubiquitin-luciferase (Ubi-Luc), ubiquitin--glucuronidase (Ubi-GUS), and ubiquitin-phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (Ubi-bar) have been generated, as well as a construct containing chimaeric genes for bothUbi-GUS andUbi-bar in a single plasmid. Another construct was generated to allow cloning of protein coding sequences of choice onBam HI andBam HI-compatible restriction fragments downstream of theUbi-1 gene fragment. Because theUbi-1 promotor has been shown to be highly active in monocots, these constructs may be useful for generating high-level gene expression of selectable markers to facilitate efficient transformation of monocots, to drive expression of reference reporter genes in studies of gene expression, and to provide expression of biotechnologically important protein products in transgenic plants. 相似文献

Replication-competent retroviral vectors based on Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) are becoming increasingly popular for expressing
genes in both primary cell cultures and embryonic chick tissuesin ovo. In this article, we review the features of RSV and its life cycle that make it suitable for use as a vector. We describe
the design and use of the RCAS and RCAS(BP) series of vectors, which are currently the most widely used RSV-based vectors,
illustrating both their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we outline laboratory protocols suitable for the handling of these
retroviral vectors. 相似文献
