Gene Therapy Insertional Mutagenesis Insights

Science, 2004
In a milestone study describing the first “cure” of a genetic disease by retroviral gene therapy, 9 out of 10 infants born with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1, also known as γc or IL2RG deficiency) were successfully treated with autologous bone marrow stem cells infected ...

Insertional mutagenesis of pathogenic fungi

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1998
Screening insertional mutants for loss of virulence is an effective method for investigating the molecular genetic basis of bacterial pathogenesis, but has only recently been applied to fungal pathogens. For many pathogenic fungi transformation with heterologous plasmid DNA results in complex integration events. This problem can now be circumvented for

Controlling P element insertional mutagenesis

Trends in Genetics, 1988
Abstract Two new methods for insertional mutagenesis in Drosophila are now available. They are based on the ability to control experimentally the number of stable P element insertions per mutagenized strain. One method produces about 10 insertions per genome and has the potential to replace hybrid dysgenesis as a means for cloning genes by ...

Insertion mutagenesis of Escherichiacoli GroEL

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2003
To gain insights into the in vivo folding and assembly of bacterial chaperonins, groEL was subjected to insertion mutagenesis using transposon ISlacZ/in. Four GroEL-LacZ fusions and the corresponding insertion mutants were obtained after residues 34, 90, 291, and 367. Apical domain insertion mutants GroEL291 and GroEL367 were degraded into monomeric 30-

Insertional mutagenesis in transgenic mice

Transgenic Research, 1994
Increasing numbers of transgenic mouse lines have resulted in several dozens of mutants created by insertional mutagenesis. The advantages of different vector systems and the problems associated with the analysis of mutations and the cloning of the affected genes are discussed in this review.

Insertional mutagenesis of Aspergillus fumigatus

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1998
We have investigated transformation with heterologous DNA as a method for insertional mutagenesis of Aspergillus fumigatus. Two methods, polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of protoplasts and electroporation of germinating spores, were used to establish conditions leading to single-copy integration of transforming DNA at different genomic sites.

Ty insertional mutagenesis

1992
Abstract The use of transposable elements as insertional mutagens is an extremely powerful technology for genetic analysis. This approach was brought to a fine art in prokaryotic genetics and is proving equally applicable in fruit flies, mice, and higher plants.

Transposon Insertional Mutagenesis in Rice

2010
Insertion mutants offer one of the direct ways to relate a gene to its function by employing forward or reverse genetics approaches. Both T-DNA and transposon insertional mutants are being produced in several crops, including rice, the first cereal with its complete genome sequenced.

Insertional mutagenesis in mice

Trends in Genetics, 1987
Abstract Insertional mutagenesis via the introduction of exogenous DNA into the germ line has been accomplished in many organisms. In addition to causing the mutation, the introduced DNA serves as a tag for molecular cloning of the affected locus. A number of mutations due to the insertion of either retroviral or microinjected cloned DNA have been ...

Efficient insertional mutagenesis in Streptococcus thermophilus

Gene, 2000
Bacteria have always been considered ideal organisms for genetic analysis. While this is true for some model organisms, like Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and, more recently, Lactococcus lactis, genetic analysis of other organisms is often prevented by lack of valuable tools, like vectors, transposons and methods for transformation, gene ...
