Altering nutrient utilization in animals through transgenesis.
Improved domestic animal productivity is necessary in order to provide for an increasing world population over the next two to three decades and such improvement would be aided by an increase in the efficiency of nutrient utilization. This can be achieved by conventional genetic selection protocols but progress by this approach is slow. A more rapid but as yet largely unproven technique is the ...
متن کاملTransgenesis in farm animals
The production of transgenic animals has many biotechnological applications; however, available techniques still remain inefficient. This review summarizes the contributions of our group to transgenesis in domestic animal. One of the most traditional transgenesis techniques in farm animals is somatic cell nuclear transfer using genetically modified somatic cells. Using this technique, we produc...
متن کاملEfficient transgenesis in farm animals by lentiviral vectors.
Microinjection of DNA is now the most widespread method for generating transgenic animals, but transgenesis rates achieved this way in higher mammals are extremely low. To address this longstanding problem, we used lentiviral vectors carrying a ubiquitously active promoter (phosphoglycerate kinase, LV-PGK) to deliver transgenes to porcine embryos. Of the 46 piglets born, 32 (70%) carried the tr...
متن کاملUbiquitination in plant nutrient utilization
Ubiquitin (Ub) is well-established as a major modifier of signaling in eukaryotes. However, the extent to which plants rely on Ub for regulating nutrient uptake is still in its infancy. The main characteristic of ubiquitination is the conjugation of Ub onto lysine residues of acceptor proteins. In most cases the targeted protein is rapidly degraded by the 26S proteasome, the major proteolysis m...
متن کاملP 49: Exercise Effects on Cognitive Impairments Through Altering Neuroinflammation
Cognitive impairments describe a state of diminished or impaired mental and/or intellectual function such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. As these disorders are more frequent in the elderly and due to the ageing of population, serious attention must be paid to these diseases. Exercise has shown to have preventive and therapeutic effects on cognitive impairm...
