Site-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 کاملInducible model for β-six-mediated site-specific recombination in mammalian cells
The prokaryotic beta recombinase catalyzes site-specific recombination between two directly oriented minimal six sites in chromatin-integrated substrates. Here, we demonstrate that an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-fused version of beta recombinase (beta-EGFP) is fully active, retaining most specific activity. It is used to develop a recombination-dependent activatable gene expressio...
متن کاملUtilization of Site-Specific Recombination in Biopharmaceutical Production
Mammalian expression systems, due to their capacity in post-translational modification, are preferred systems for biopharmaceutical protein production. Several recombinant protein systems have been introduced to the market, most of which are under clinical development. In spite of significant improvements such as cell line engineering, introducing novel expression methods, gene silencing and pr...
متن کاملFLP Recombinase-Mediated Site-Specific Recombination in Silkworm, Bombyx mori
A comprehensive understanding of gene function and the production of site-specific genetically modified mutants are two major goals of genetic engineering in the post-genomic era. Although site-specific recombination systems have been powerful tools for genome manipulation of many organisms, they have not yet been established for use in the manipulation of the silkworm Bombyx mori genome. In th...
متن کاملIntermediates in serine recombinase-mediated site-specific recombination.
Site-specific recombinases are enzymes that promote precise rearrangements of DNA sequences. They do this by cutting and rejoining the DNA strands at specific positions within a pair of target sites recognized and bound by the recombinase. One group of these enzymes, the serine recombinases, initiates strand exchange by making double-strand breaks in the DNA of the two sites, in an intermediate...
