The codA gene as a negative selection marker in Citrus
The use of positive selectable marker genes is widespread in plant genetic transformation allowing transgenic cells to grow while repressing non-transgenic cells. Negative selectable markers, on the contrary, allow the repression or ablation of transgenic cells. The codA gene of Escherichia coli encodes cytosine deaminase that hydrolyzes 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) into the cytotoxic compound 5 flu...
متن کاملPositive–negative-selection-mediated gene targeting in rice
Gene targeting (GT) refers to the designed modification of genomic sequence(s) through homologous recombination (HR). GT is a powerful tool both for the study of gene function and for molecular breeding. However, in transformation of higher plants, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) occurs overwhelmingly in somatic cells, masking HR-mediated GT. Positive-negative selection (PNS) is an approach f...
متن کاملThe Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Gene as a Conditional Negative-Selection Marker Gene in
l h e human herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase type 1 gene (HSVtk) acts as a conditional lethal marker in mammalian cells. The HSVtk-encoded enzyme is able to phosphorylate certain nucleoside analogs (e.g. ganciclovir, an antiherpetic drug), thus converting them to toxic DNA replication inhibitors. l h e utility of HSVtk as a conditional negative-selection marker was explored in Arabidopsis ...
متن کاملNegative selection using yeast cytosine deaminase/uracil phosphoribosyl transferase in Plasmodium falciparum for targeted gene deletion by double crossover recombination.
The ability to genetically manipulatePlasmodium falciparum as been established for a number of years and it is an important ool for functional analysis of parasite genes using gene disuption [1], allelic exchange [2] and transgene expression [3]. his was established using positive selection for maintenance of ircular plasmids carrying a drug selectable marker such as Toxplasma gondii dihydrofol...
متن کاملCytosine deaminase as a negative selectable marker for the microalgal chloroplast: a strategy for the isolation of nuclear mutations that affect chloroplast gene expression
Negative selectable markers are useful tools for forward-genetic screens aimed at identifying trans-acting factors that are required for expression of specific genes. Transgenic lines harbouring the marker fused to a gene element, such as a promoter, may be mutagenized to isolate loss-of-function mutants able to survive under selection. Such a strategy allows the molecular dissection of factors...
