Genetic analysis of Gv1, a gene controlling transcription of endogenous murine polytropic proviruses.
Gv1 is a genetic locus that coordinately regulates the expression of multiple murine leukemia virus-related endogenous proviral sequences. A quantitative nuclease protection assay for typing Gv1 inheritance has been developed. Use of this assay demonstrates that Gv1 controls transcription of polytropic but not of modified polytropic endogenous proviruses. A combination of genetic techniques wer...
متن کاملControlling gene expression in plants using synthetic zinc finger transcription factors.
Synthetic zinc finger proteins can be fused to transcriptional regulatory domains to create artificial transcription factors that modulate the expression of a specific target gene. Recent studies have demonstrated that synthetic zinc finger domains can be constructed to bind DNA sequences with a high degree of specificity. To devise a general strategy for controlling plant gene expression with ...
متن کاملZinc Finger Protein Gene Complexes
Two murine homologs of the Drosophila Kriippel gene, a member of the gap class of developmental control genes that encode a protein with zinc fingers, were mapped to mouse chromosomes 8 and 11 by using somatic cell hybrids and an interspecific backcross. Surprisingly, both genes were closely linked to two previously mapped, Krtippelrelated zinc finger protein genes, suggesting that they are par...
متن کاملA new murine zinc finger gene, Opr
Here we report a novel murine zinc-finger gene, Opr, belonging to the opa/Zic family. Opr is expressed in the entire embryonic ectoderm before gastrulation, but gradually restricted to the anterior part from the mid to late streak stage. At the beginning of neural induction, Opr is expressed throughout the anterior neural plate, but is soon restricted to the neural ridge. After neural tube clos...
متن کاملEngineering zinc finger protein transcription factors: the therapeutic relevance of switching endogenous gene expression on or off at command.
Modulating gene expression directly at the DNA level represents a novel approach to control cellular processes. In this respect, zinc finger protein DNA-binding domains can be engineered to target virtually any gene. Coupling of a transcription activation or repression domain to these zinc fingers permits regulating gene expression at will, providing a platform of unlimited therapeutic applicat...
