Despite recent technical improvements, the construction of recombinant adenovirus vectors remains a time-consuming procedure which requires extensive manipulations of the viral genome in both Escherichia coli and eukaryotic cells. This report describes a novel system based on the cloning and manipulation of the full-length adenovirus genome as a stable plasmid in E. coli, by using the bacterial homologous recombination machinery. The efficiency and flexibility of the method are illustrated by the cloning of the wild-type adenovirus type 5 genome, the insertion of a constitutive promoter upstream from the E3 region, the replacement of the E1 region by an exogenous expression cassette, and the deletion of the E1 region. All recombinant viral DNAS were shown to be fully infectious in permissive cells, and the modified E3 region or the inserted foreign gene was correctly expressed in the infected cells. 相似文献

DNA cassette exchange methodologies are powerful tools for rapid modification of defined genomic loci. Until now, most studies have focused on transfected cell lines that were subjected to positive and negative selection to enrich for correctly recombined clones. This is the first report on Cre-mediated cassette exchange (CMCE) in early mouse embryos, a nonselectable biological system. A Cre expression plasmid and a replacement plasmid were introduced into fertilized oocytes by plasmid microinjection and recombination products were investigated. Both, replacement plasmid and oocyte genome carried heterospecific lox sites (lox511 and loxP) to direct CMCE toward integration. Here, we demonstrate the general feasibility of CMCE in early mouse embryos and characterize the system with respect to integration efficiency, competing reactions and parameters affecting recombination rates. 相似文献

Site-specific integration is an attractive method for the improvement of current transformation technologies aimed at the production of stable transgenic plants. Here, we present a Cre-based targeting strategy in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) using recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) of transferred DNA (T-DNA) delivered by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The rationale for effective RMCE is the precise exchange of a genomic and a replacement cassette both flanked by two heterospecific lox sites that are incompatible with each other to prevent unwanted cassette deletion. We designed a strategy in which the coding region of a loxP/lox5171-flanked bialaphos resistance (bar) gene is exchanged for a loxP/lox5171-flanked T-DNA replacement cassette containing the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) coding region via loxP/loxP and lox5171/lox5171 directed recombination. The bar gene is driven by the strong 35S promoter, which is located outside the target cassette. This placement ensures preferential selection of RMCE events and not random integration events by expression of nptII from this same promoter. Using root transformation, during which Cre was provided on a cotransformed T-DNA, 50 kanamycin-resistant calli were selected. Forty-four percent contained a correctly exchanged cassette based on PCR analysis, indicating the stringency of the selection system. This was confirmed for the offspring of five analyzed events by Southern-blot analysis. In four of the five analyzed RMCE events, there were no additional T-DNA insertions or they easily segregated, resulting in high-efficiency single-copy RMCE events. Our approach enables simple and efficient selection of targeting events using the advantages of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. 相似文献

Gene targeting allows precise tailoring of the mouse genome such that desired modifications can be introduced under precise temporal and spatial control. This can be achieved through the use of site-specific recombinases, which mediate deletion or inversion of genomic DNA flanked by recombinase-specific recognition sites, coupled with gene targeting to introduce the recombinase recognition sites at the desired genomic locations within the mouse genome. The introduction of multiple modifications at the same locus often requires use of multiple recombination systems. The most commonly used recombination system is Cre/lox. We here evaluated in vivo the ability of PhiC31 phage integrase to induce a genomic deletion in mouse. We engineered a self-excision cassette, modeled after one previously designed for Cre, containing a positive selection marker and PhiC31 driven by a testis-specific promoter, all flanked by PhiC31 specific attP/B sites. We found in vivo PhiC31 mediated self-excision in 38% of transmitted alleles, although 18% of these showed evidence of imprecise deletion. Furthermore, in the 69% of un-recombined cassettes, sequence analysis revealed that PhiC31 mediated an intra-molecular deletion of the attB site preventing any subsequent recombination. This study demonstrates that PhiC31 can be used to automatically remove Neo, in the male chimera germline, although it is not as efficient or as accurate as Cre. 相似文献

This article describes the development of an improved method for the isolation of genomic fragments adjacent to a known DNA sequence based on a cassette ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. To reduce the nonspecific amplification of PCR-based genome walking, the 3′ ends of the restriction enzyme-digested genomic DNA fragments were blocked with dideoxynucleoside triphosphate (ddNTP) and ligated with properly designed cassettes. The modified genomic DNA fragments flanked with cassettes were used as a template for the amplification of a target gene with a gene-specific primer (GSP) and a cassette primer (CP). The ddNTP blocking of the genomic DNA ends significantly reduced the nonspecific amplification and resulted in a simple and rapid walking along the genome. The efficiency of the template-blocking PCR method was confirmed by a carefully designed control experiment. The method was successfully applied for the cloning of the PGK1 promoter from Pichia ciferrii and two novel cellulase genes from Penicillium sp. 相似文献

We describe here an approach for rapidly producing scar-free and precise gene deletions in S. cerevisiae with high efficiency. Preparation of the disruption gene cassette in this approach was simply performed by overlap extension-PCR of an invert repeat of a partial or complete sequence of the targeted gene with URA3. Integration of the prepared disruption gene cassette to the designated position of a target gene leads to the formation of a mutagenesis cassette within the yeast genome, which consists of a URA3 gene flanked by the targeted gene and its inverted repeat between two short identical direct repeats. The inherent instability of the inverted sequences in close proximity facilitates the self-excision of the entire mutagenesis cassette deposited in the genome and promotes homologous recombination resulting in a seamless deletion via a single transformation. This rapid assembly circumvents the difficulty during preparation of disruption gene cassettes composed of two inverted repeats of the URA3, which requires the engineering of unique restriction sites for subsequent digestion and T4 DNA ligation in vitro. We further identified that the excision of the entire mutagenesis cassette flanked by two DRs in the transformed S. cerevisiae is dependent on the length of the inverted repeat of which a minimum of 800 bp is required for effective gene deletion. The deletion efficiency improves with the increase of the inverted repeat till 1.2 kb. Finally, the use of gene-specific inverted repeats of target genes enables simultaneous gene deletions. The procedure has the potential for application on other yeast strains to achieve precise and efficient removal of gene sequences. 相似文献

We previously reported the method for introducing gene replacement into Klebsiella pneumoniae through Red-assisted homologous recombination; and it demonstrated that a higher transformation efficiency required long flanking arms at both ends of the linear DNA. The assembly job of the linear DNA is usually time-consuming and laborious. We report here an innovative method for DNA exchange in K. pneumoniae based on PCR-mediated Red recombination. The novel procedure enables rapid gene replacement in K. pneumoniae without prior cloning of the gene of interest; the key modification is to perform PCR reaction to generate linear DNA with extra non-homologous fragments on both ends as mercenary sequences which come from a TA-cloning plasmid. We give a demonstration by deleting the gene dhak1 in K. pneumoniae with high efficiency of about 20 CFU/μg DNA using the new technique. 相似文献

目前常用的基因修饰方法是在Red同源重组介导下,电转线性PCR片段替换染色体上指定序列。因PCR过程错误掺入,该方法常常会在同源序列部位产生一些突变。为了避免此类突变,我们建立了一种新的无痕删除方法。首先将含有抗性标记(两侧带有I-Sec I识别位点)的线性DNA电转到Red重组感受态细胞内,用抗性基因替换基因组上指定序列;然后,将携带融合同源臂(两侧带有I-Sec I位点)的供体质粒导入上述细胞,诱导表达I-Sec I内切酶切割供体质粒释放同源片段,同时切除染色体上抗性基因产生双链断裂,通过分子间同源重组实现无痕删除。我们应用该方法连续删除了大肠杆菌DH1基因组上11个非必需区,使基因组减小10.59%。PCR测序证明所有删减区域同源臂未发生突变,基因组重测序证明指定区域被删除。删减菌的生长变化不大,但耐酸能力有所改变,并对番茄红素合成有不同影响。 相似文献

The traditional markerless gene deletion technique based on overlap extension PCR has been used for generating gene deletions in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. However, the method is time-consuming because it requires restriction digestion of the PCR products in DNA cloning and the construction of new vectors containing a suitable antibiotic resistance cassette for the selection of A. baumannii merodiploids. Moreover, the availability of restriction sites and the selection of recombinant bacteria harboring the desired chimeric plasmid are limited, making the construction of a chimeric plasmid more difficult. We describe a rapid and easy cloning method for markerless gene deletion in A. baumannii, which has no limitation in the availability of restriction sites and allows for easy selection of the clones carrying the desired chimeric plasmid. Notably, it is not necessary to construct new vectors in our method. This method utilizes direct cloning of blunt-end DNA fragments, in which upstream and downstream regions of the target gene are fused with an antibiotic resistance cassette via overlap extension PCR and are inserted into a blunt-end suicide vector developed for blunt-end cloning. Importantly, the antibiotic resistance cassette is placed outside the downstream region in order to enable easy selection of the recombinants carrying the desired plasmid, to eliminate the antibiotic resistance cassette via homologous recombination, and to avoid the necessity of constructing new vectors. This strategy was successfully applied to functional analysis of the genes associated with iron acquisition by A. baumannii ATCC 19606 and to ompA gene deletion in other A. baumannii strains. Consequently, the proposed method is invaluable for markerless gene deletion in multidrug-resistant A. baumannii. 相似文献

A DNA fragment from fowlpox virus cloned on a plasmid vector was modified to contain foreign DNA inserts within an intergenic region. In a first step, a 32-base-pair intergenic region from the fowlpox virus genome corresponding to the position of the thymidine kinase locus in the vaccinia virus genome was enlarged to 55 base pairs by site-directed mutagenesis. A unique restriction endonuclease site introduced upstream of the intergenic region was then used to insert various foreign DNA fragments. The lacZ gene encoding beta-galactosidase and the measles virus gene encoding the fusion protein were positioned downstream of two vaccinia virus p7.5 promoter elements in either a direct repeat or inverted repeat orientation. Foreign DNA inserts contained within the fowlpox virus sequence were transferred to the viral genome by homologous recombination occurring in cells infected with a fowlpox virus temperature-sensitive mutant and transfected with both wild-type viral DNA and plasmid DNA. Recombinant viruses were selected for the expression of beta-galactosidase activity by screening for blue plaques in the presence of a chromogenic substrate. Stable recombinants expressing both the lacZ gene and the unselected measles gene were obtained when the p7.5 promoter was present as an inverted repeat. However, when the p7.5 promoter was in the direct repeat orientation, viral recombinants which initially expressed both gene inserts readily deleted the lacZ gene flanked by the promoter repeat. The methods described enable precise insertion and deletion of foreign genes in the fowlpox virus genome and could be applied to other intergenic regions of the same virus as well as other poxviruses. 相似文献

Transformants of Fusarium graminearum were derived using linearized DNA of plasmids designed to replace the trichodiene synthase gene, a cutinase gene or a xylanase gene with a hygromycin-resistance marker cassette by homologous recombination between 1-kbp segments of flanking DNA. Most transformants did not exhibit the DNA structure expected of integration by classical double recombination. Instead, they contained linearized plasmid joined end-to-end and variably incorporated into the genome. Transformant types included ectopic integrations and integrations at the target site with or without removal of the targeted gene. We have analyzed a large number of transformants using cloning, PCR and DNA sequencing to determine the structures of their integrated DNA, and describe a model to explain their derivations. The data indicate that 1-3 copies of input DNA are first joined end-to-end to produce either linear or circular structures, probably mediated by the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) system. The end-joins typically have 1-5 nucleotides in common and are near or within the original cleavage site of the plasmid. Ectopic integrations occur by attaching linear DNA to two ends of genomic DNA via the same joining mechanism. Integration at the target site is consistent with replication around circularized input DNA, beginning and ending within the flanking homologous DNA, resulting in the integration of multiple copies of the entire structure. This results in deletion or duplication of the target site, or leaves one copy at either end of the integrated multimer. Reiterated DNA in the more complex structures is unstable due to homologous recombination, such that conversion to simpler forms is detected. 相似文献

To examine whether insertion-duplication mutagenesis with chimeric DNA as a transformation donor could be valuable as a gene knockout tool for genomic analysis in Streptococcus pneumoniae, we studied the transformation efficiency and targeting specificity of the process by using a nonreplicative vector with homologous targeting inserts of various sizes. Insertional recombination was very specific in targeting homologous sites. While the recombination rate did not depend on which site or region was targeted, it did depend strongly on the size of the targeting insert in the donor plasmid, in proportion to the fifth power of its length for inserts of 100 to 500 bp. The dependence of insertion-duplication events on the length of the targeting homology was quite different from that for linear allele replacement and places certain limits on the design of mutagenesis experiments. The number of independent pneumococcal targeting fragments of uniform size required to knock out any desired fraction of the genes in a model genome with a defined probability was calculated from these data by using a combinatorial theory with simplifying assumptions. The results show that efficient and thorough mutagenesis of a large part of the pneumococcal genome should be practical when using insertion-duplication mutagenesis. 相似文献

The structures of integration sites in transgenic rice 总被引:22,自引:7,他引:15

Extensive genomic sequencing and sequence motif analysis have been conducted over the integration sites of two transgenic rice plants, #478 and #559, carrying the luciferase gene and/or hygromycin phosphotransferase gene. The transgenes reside in a region with inverted structure and a large duplication of rice genome over 2 kb. Integration was found at the AT-rich region and/or at the repetitive sequence region, including a SAR-like structure, retrotransposon and telomere repeats. The presence of a patch of sequence homology between plasmid and target DNA, and a small region of duplication involving the target DNA around the recombination site, implicated illegitimate recombination in the process of gene integration. Massive rearrangement of genomic DNA including deletion or translocation was also observed at the integration site and the flanking region of the transgene. The recognition sites of DNA topoisomerases I or II were observed in the rearranged sequences. Since only three junctions of transgenic rice were implicated in the illegitimate recombination and extensive rearrangement of the rice genome, rice protoplasts may be active in this process. 相似文献
