A chromosomal position effect on gene targeting in human cells.
We describe gene targeting experiments involving a human cell line (RAN10) containing, in addition to its endogenous alleles, two ectopic alleles of the interferon-inducible gene 6-16. The frequency of gene targeting at one of the ectopic 6-16 alleles (H3.7) was 34-fold greater than the combined frequency of gene targeting involving endogenous 6-16 alleles in RAN10. Preference for H3.7 was main...
متن کاملChromosomal position effects on AAV-mediated gene targeting
The effects of chromosomal position and neighboring genomic elements on gene targeting in human cells remain largely unexplored. To study these, we used a shuttle vector system in which murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based proviral targets present at different chromosomal locations and containing mutations in the neomycin phosphotransferase (neo) gene were corrected by adeno-associated virus (AAV)...
متن کاملtransfection of human hematopoietic stem cells by a gene targeting construct containing the β-globin gene
background: replacment of cd133+ cell’s β globin gene by using a gene targeting construct containing the β globin gene and essential elements for homologous recombination. materials and methods: pfbggt was amplified, then digested using the nhei and xhoi restriction enzymes, and finally, a 13.3 kb band (naked dna) was extracted from the agarose gel. biological activity of positive and negative ...
متن کاملConcerted nicking of donor and chromosomal acceptor DNA promotes homology-directed gene targeting in human cells
The exchange of genetic information between donor and acceptor DNA molecules by homologous recombination (HR) depends on the cleavage of phosphodiester bonds. Although double-stranded and single-stranded DNA breaks (SSBs) have both been invoked as triggers of HR, until very recently the focus has been primarily on the former type of DNA lesions mainly due to the paucity of SSB-based recombinati...
متن کاملTelomere position effect in human cells.
In yeast, telomere position effect (TPE) results in the reversible silencing of genes near telomeres. Here we demonstrate the presence of TPE in human cells. HeLa clones containing a luciferase reporter adjacent to a newly formed telomere express 10 times less luciferase than do control clones generated by random integration. Luciferase expression is restored by trichostatin A, a histone deacet...
