PART III. Materials and Methods: Siganl Transduction and Genes Expression Patterns
A) Reverse genetics and genetic controlling
1). Efficient mobilization of transposon
Heritable insertions of the transposon can be generated in the germ line Genes
that have been mutated by insertion can be
rapidly identified using PCR reaction These insertions can subsequently be
remobilized to generate deletion Knock out, and
frame shift mutations by imperfect excision.
2).
The Cre/loxP recombination system
Cre is a 38 kDa recombinase protein from bacteriophage P1 which mediates
intramolecular (excisive or inversional) and
intermolecular (integrative) site specific recombination between loxP sites,
which consists of two 13 bp inverted repeats separated by an 8 bp asymmetric
spacer region.
3). The flippase/FRT system
The yeast flp recombinase mediates sitespecific recombination between cis-acting
FRTs. When the FRTs are arranged as direct repeats flanking a segment of DNA,
recombination leads to the excision of the intervening DNA, leaving behind a
single FRT.
4). RNA interference
RNAi is a reverse genetic tool to induce posttranscriptional gene silencing
(PTGS). The RNAi method has been attempted in a
wide variety of organisms and shown to work with varying degrees of success in
C. elegans, Drosophila, plants, Planaria,
Trypanosome, Zebrafish, Xenopus, mouse embryo and mammalian cultured cells. The
dsRNA can expression in cells for knock down
gene expression in vitro and in vivo by stem cell injection.
