Efficient gene activation in mammalian cells by using recombinant adenovirus expressing site-specific Cre recombinase.
A recombinant adenovirus (Ad) expressing Cre recombinase derived from bacteriophage P1 was constructed. To assay the Cre activity in mammalian cells, another recombinant Ad bearing an on/off-switching reporter unit, where a LacZ-expression unit can be activated by the Cre-mediated excisional deletion of an interposed stuffer DNA, was also constructed. Co-infection experiments together with the ...
متن کاملEfficient gene activation in cultured mammalian cells mediated by FLP recombinase-expressing recombinant adenovirus.
A recombinant adenovirus (rAd) expressing Cre recombinase derived from bacteriophage P1 has already been extensively used for the conditional gene activation and inactivation strategies in mammalian systems. In this study, we generated AxCAFLP, a rAd expressing FLP recombinase derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and carried out quantitative comparisons with Cre-expressing rAd in both in vitro...
متن کاملDre recombinase, like Cre, is a highly efficient site-specific recombinase in E. coli, mammalian cells and mice.
Tyrosine site-specific recombinases (SSRs) including Cre and FLP are essential tools for DNA and genome engineering. Cre has long been recognized as the best SSR for genome engineering, particularly in mice. Obtaining another SSR that is as good as Cre will be a valuable addition to the genomic toolbox. To this end, we have developed and validated reagents for the Dre-rox system. These include ...
متن کاملSite-specific DNA recombination in mammalian cells by the Cre recombinase of bacteriophage P1.
The Cre protein encoded by the coliphage P1 is a 38-kDa protein that efficiently promotes both intra- and intermolecular synapsis and recombination of DNA both in Escherichia coli and in vitro. Recombination occurs at a specific site, called lox, and does not require any other protein factors. The Cre protein is shown here also to be able to cause synapsis of DNA and site-specific recombination...
متن کاملRecombinase-mediated gene activation and site-specific integration in mammalian cells.
A binary system for gene activation and site-specific integration, based on the conditional recombination of transfected sequences mediated by the FLP recombinase from yeast, was implemented in mammalian cells. In several cell lines, FLP rapidly and precisely recombined copies of its specific target sequence to activate an otherwise silent beta-galactosidase reporter gene. Clones of marked cell...
