Engineered apoptotic nucleases for chromatin research
We have created new genomics tools for chromatin research by genetically engineering the human and mouse major apoptotic nucleases that are responsible for internucleosomal DNA cleavage, DNA fragmentation factor (DFF). Normally, in its inactive form, DFF is a heterodimer composed of a 45-kDa chaperone inhibitor subunit (DFF45 or ICAD), and a 40-kDa latent endonuclease subunit (DFF40 or CAD). Up...
متن کاملlentiviral mediating genetic engineered mesenchymal stem cells for releasing il-27 as a gene therapy approach for autoimmune diseases
objective: autoimmune diseases precede a complex dysregulation of the immune system. t helper17 (th17) and interleukin (il)-17 have central roles in initiation of inflammation and subsequent autoimmune diseases. il-27 significantly controls autoimmune diseases by th17 and il-17 suppression. in the present study we have created genetic engineered mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) that mediate with l...
متن کاملTargeted gene knockout in mammalian cells by using engineered zinc-finger nucleases.
Gene knockout is the most powerful tool for determining gene function or permanently modifying the phenotypic characteristics of a cell. Existing methods for gene disruption are limited by their efficiency, time to completion, and/or the potential for confounding off-target effects. Here, we demonstrate a rapid single-step approach to targeted gene knockout in mammalian cells, using engineered ...
متن کاملTargeting Human MicroRNA Genes Using Engineered Tal-Effector Nucleases (TALENs)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have quickly emerged as important regulators of mammalian physiology owing to their precise control over the expression of critical protein coding genes. Despite significant progress in our understanding of how miRNAs function in mice, there remains a fundamental need to be able to target and edit miRNA genes in the human genome. Here, we report a novel approach to disrupting...
متن کاملHeritable Targeted Inactivation of Myostatin Gene in Yellow Catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) Using Engineered Zinc Finger Nucleases
Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) is one of the most important freshwater aquaculture species in China. However, its small size and lower meat yield limit its edible value. Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of mammalian muscle growth. But, the function of Mstn in fish remains elusive. To explore roles of mstn gene in fish growth and create a strain of yellow catfish with high amou...
