Genomic targeting with purified Cre recombinase.

Purified Cre recombinase protein introduced directly into cultured mammalian cells by lipofection catalyzes both site-specific chromosomal integration of a co-transfected lox targeting vector and precise excision of genomic DNA flanked by directly repeated lox sites. This procedure eliminates the need to transfect cre expression plasmids to activate recombination at lox sites. We used this simp...

Enriched motor neuron populations derived from bacterial artificial chromosome-transgenic human embryonic stem cells.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)21 have received enormous attention because of their potential to produce somatic cells of all three germ layers, a property known as pluripotency. Recent advances in hESC biology have enabled the directed differentiation of hESCs into several types of neurons, including motor neurons,11,12,18 which are specifically lost in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ...

Nuclear targeting determinants of the phage P1 cre DNA recombinase.

The Cre DNA recombinase of bacteriophage P1 has become a useful tool for genomic manipulation in mice and other eukaryotes. Because Cre is of prokaryotic origin, the 38 kDa protein has been presumed to gain access to the eukaryotic nucleus simply because it is sufficiently small to pass through the nuclear pore by passive diffusion. Instead, we show here that Cre carries nuclear targeting deter...

Dermal Delivery of Constructs Encoding Cre Recombinase to Induce Skin Tumors in PtenLoxP/LoxP;BrafCA/+ Mice

Current genetically-engineered mouse melanoma models are often based on Tyr::CreERT2-controlled MAPK pathway activation by the BRAFV600E mutation and PI3K pathway activation by loss of PTEN. The major drawback of these models is the occurrence of spontaneous tumors caused by leakiness of the Tyr::CreERT2 system, hampering long-term experiments. To address this problem, we investigated several a...
