Site-specific integration by adeno-associated virus.
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has attracted considerable interest as a potential vector for gene delivery. Wild-type virus is notable for the lack of association with any human disease and the ability to stably integrate its genome in a site-specific manner in a locus on human chromosome 19 (AAVS1). Use of a functional model system for AAV DNA integration into AAVS1 has allowed us to conclude th...
متن کاملAdeno-associated virus (AAV) site-specific integration: formation of AAV-AAVS1 junctions in an in vitro system.
An in vitro system to study the mechanism of site-specific integration of adeno-associated virus (AAV) was developed. This system is based on two substrates, a linear or circular AAV donor and a circular acceptor containing the preintegration locus AAVS1. In the presence of HeLa extract and the His-Tag-purified Rep68 protein, specific covalent junctions between AAV and AAVS1 were formed and det...
متن کاملPositive and negative effects of adeno-associated virus Rep on AAVS1-targeted integration.
Adeno-associated virus type 2 integrates preferentially into the AAVS1 locus on chromosome 19 of the human genome. It was reported previously that transfection with two plasmids, one for Rep and the other carrying a transgene flanked by inverted terminal repeats (ITRs), enables preferential integration of the latter into AAVS1. Aiming at increasing the frequency of AAVS1-specific integration, t...
متن کاملTranscriptional analysis of the adeno-associated virus integration site.
The nonpathogenic human adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV-2) has adopted a unique mechanism to site-specifically integrate its genome into the human MBS85 gene, which is embedded in AAVS1 on chromosome 19. The fact that AAV has evolved to integrate into this ubiquitously transcribed region and that the chromosomal motifs required for integration are located a few nucleotides upstream of the tr...
متن کاملEffects of Cellular Methylation on Transgene Expression and Site-Specific Integration of Adeno-Associated Virus
DNA methylation is a major epigenetic event that affects not only cellular gene expression but that also has the potential to influence bacterial and viral DNA in their host-dependent functions. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) genome contains a high degree of CpG sequences capable of methylation in its terminal repeat sequences, which are the sole elements retained in AAV-based vectors used in gen...
