Disease relevance of Genetic Vectors

 

High impact information on Genetic Vectors

  • When these were introduced into yeast on autonomously replicating shuttle vectors, a sequence element between 35 and 70 nucleotides upstream from the 3' splice site was required for splicing the actin gene transcripts [6].
  • A shuttle vector containing a regulated muscle-specific promoter has been developed for the stable expression of recombinant myosin in C2C12 cells [7].
  • A TAR cloning vector was constructed that, when linearized, contained a small amount (381 bp) of 3' hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) sequence at one end and an 189-bp Alu repeat at the other end [8].
  • A genetic system for Archaea of the genus Methanosarcina: liposome-mediated transformation and construction of shuttle vectors [9].
  • The synthetic opsin gene was placed under the control of the inducible promoter GAL1 in the multicopy yeast/ Escherichia coli shuttle vector YEpRF1 [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Genetic Vectors

  • A retroviral shuttle vector was constructed by introducing the Escherichia coli xanthine (guanine) phosphoribosyltransferase gene (gpt) into the pZip-NeoSV(X)1 vector [Cepko, C. L., Roberts, B. E. & Mulligan, R. C. (1984) Cell 37, 1053-1062] [11].
  • The homologous transfer of the bacterial ampicillin resistance gene from the inserted sequences to replace a mutant ampicillin sensitivity gene on the shuttle vector was identified by the recovery of ampicillin-resistant plasmids after Hirt extraction and transformation into Escherichia coli host cells [12].
  • We have devised a rapid four-step procedure for the generation of directed and unmarked chromosomal deletions in bacteria, based on the use of a novel cloning vector containing the Bacillus subtilis sacB gene that encodes levansucrase and confers sucrose sensitivity, which can be used for counter-selection [13].
  • The gene encoding a puromycin N-acetyl transferase from Streptomyces alboniger has been cloned next to the SV40 early promoter in a mammalian cells-Escherichia coli shuttle vector [14].
  • No significant high-salt DNA polymerase activity was detected in extracts from expresser cells grown in the presence of raffinose or in extracts from control cells containing the E. coli-yeast shuttle vector without the HSV-1 DNA polymerase gene grown in the presence of raffinose of galactose [15].

Associations of Genetic Vectors with chemical compounds

  • The resistance determinant, portions of pHV2, and an ampicillin- and tetracycline-resistance-conferring pBR322 derivative, pAT153, were ligated together to form the shuttle vectors pWL101 and pWL102 [26].
  • We have investigated the frequency and spectrum of mutations induced when a shuttle vector carrying AAF adducts (85% bound to the C8 position of guanine, 15% to the N2 position) replicated in human cells [27].
  • By using a shuttle vector system developed in our laboratory, we have carried out studies on the molecular mechanism by which 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) induces mutations in mammalian cells [28].
  • By using a shuttle vector system developed in our laboratory, we have analyzed the sequence specificity of mutations induced in mouse A9 cells by exposure of the cells to a high concentration of thymidine [29].
  • To test this hypothesis we introduced the Ha-ras oncogene into SP1 cells on a shuttle vector in which maintenance of the vector was dependent on selection for resistance to the antibiotic G418 [30].
 

Gene context of Genetic Vectors

  • A GAL4 fragment consisting of residues 1-147 plus two additional residues from the cloning vector [denoted GAL4(149*)] has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli [31].
  • The GAPDH coding region was detected within a 4.65-kilobase Xho I/EcoRI genomic fragment that was completely sequenced by using the M13 cloning vector system [32].
  • An expression library was constructed by inserting 5' portion-enriched cDNAs from phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells into upstream of signal sequence-deleted CD4 cDNA in an Epstein-Barr virus shuttle vector [33].
  • The rat Kv4.2-coding sequence was truncated at a position just past the first transmembrane segment and subcloned into an adenoviral shuttle vector downstream of a cytomegalovirus promoter (pE1Kv4.2ST) [34].
  • Yeast strains containing the cloned DFR1 gene on multicopy number shuttle vector plasmids show dramatically enhanced methotrexate resistance [35].
