Arabidopsis thaliana mutants altered in homologous recombination.
Homologous recombination contributes both to the generation of allelic diversity and to the preservation of genetic information. In plants, a lack of suitable experimental material has prevented studies of the regulatory and enzymatic aspects of recombination in somatic and meiotic cells. We have isolated nine Arabidopsis thaliana mutants hypersensitive to x-ray irradiation (xrs) and examined t...
متن کاملIncreased frequency of homologous recombination and T-DNA integration in Arabidopsis CAF-1 mutants.
Chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) is involved in nucleo some assembly following DNA replication and nucleotide excision repair. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the three CAF-1 subunits are encoded by FAS1, FAS2 and, most likely, MSI1, respectively. In this study, we asked whether genomic stability is altered in fas1 and fas2 mutants that are lacking CAF-1 activity. Depletion of either subunit increa...
متن کاملCENTRIN2 modulates homologous recombination and nucleotide excision repair in Arabidopsis.
A genetic screen of a population of Arabidopsis thaliana lines exhibiting enhanced somatic homologous recombination yielded a mutant affected in expression of a gene encoding a caltractin-like protein (centrin). The hyperrecombinogenic phenotype could be reproduced using RNA interference (RNAi) technology. Both the original mutant and the RNAi plants exhibited a moderate UV-C sensitivity as wel...
متن کاملThe INO80 protein controls homologous recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Homologous recombination (HR) serves a dual role in providing genetic flexibility and in maintaining genome integrity. Little is known about the regulation of HR and other repair pathways in the context of chromatin. We report on a mutant affected in the expression of the Arabidopsis INO80 ortholog of the SWI/SNF ATPase family, which shows a reduction of the HR frequency to 15% of that in wild-...
متن کاملDesigning E1 Deleted Adenoviral Vector by Homologous Recombination
Adenoviruses are used extensively to deliver genes into mammalian cells, particularly where there is a requirement for high-level expression of transgene products in cultured cells, or for use as recombinant viral vaccines or in gene therapy. In spite of their usefulness, the construction of adenoviral vectors (AdV) is a cumbersome and lengthy process that is not readily amenable to the generat...
