Rational optimization of tolC as a powerful dual selectable marker for genome engineering
Selection has been invaluable for genetic manipulation, although counter-selection has historically exhibited limited robustness and convenience. TolC, an outer membrane pore involved in transmembrane transport in E. coli, has been implemented as a selectable/counter-selectable marker, but counter-selection escape frequency using colicin E1 precludes using tolC for inefficient genetic manipulat...
متن کاملRecombineering with tolC as a Selectable/Counter-selectable Marker: remodeling the rRNA Operons of Escherichia coli
This work describes the novel use of tolC as a selectable/counter-selectable marker for the facile modification of DNA in Escherichia coli. Expression of TolC (an outer membrane protein) confers relative resistance to toxic small molecules, while its absence renders the cell tolerant to colicin E1. These features, coupled with the lambdaredgam recombination system, allow for selection of tolC i...
متن کاملThymidine kinase as a negative selectable marker in Leishmania major.
We have tested whether the thymidine kinase gene of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1 tk) could function as a negative selectable marker in Leishmania major. Several drug resistance markers have been used for positive selection of transfected DNA in trypanosomatids, including neomycin phosphotransferase (NEO; refs. 1-4) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HYG; refs. 5,6). Negative selectable markers...
متن کاملDirected genome engineering for genome optimization.
The ability to develop nucleases with tailor-made activities for targeted DNA double-strand break induction at will at any desired position in the genome has been a major breakthrough to make targeted genome optimization feasible in plants. The development of site specific nucleases for precise genome modification has expanded the repertoire of tools for the development and optimization of trai...
