A low-background inducible promoter system in Leishmania donovani.
We report here a second-generation tetracycline-responsive repressor-operator system in Leishmania donovani. In this system, expression of a reporter luciferase gene (LUC) is driven by the inducible Leishmania ribosomal RNA promoter on the DNA strand opposite to a hygromycin resistance gene (HYG) whose expression is driven by the endogenous pol I promoter on chromosome 27 (rDNA locus) or the en...
متن کاملCreation of Tetracycline Regulatable Knockouts of ORFF Gene from the LD1 Locus of Leishmania donovani
The tetracycline repressor/operator system was adapted for use in Leishmania donovani. In order to investigate the possible importance and function of open reading frame F (ORFF) in Leishmania donovani strain AG83 that has a single copy of ORFF in the LD1 locus on chromosome 35, we have attempted to generate tetracycline regulatable single allele mutants of ORFF. Leishmania cells expressing the...
متن کاملThe Leishmania donovani LD1 locus gene ORFG encodes a biopterin transporter (BT1).
We have previously described two genes, ORFF and ORFG, from the LD1 locus near one telomere of chromosome 35, which are frequently amplified in Leishmania isolates. In Leishmania donovani LSB-51.1, gene conversion of the rRNA gene locus on chromosome 27 with these two genes resulted in their over-expression, because of their transcription by the RNA polymerase I-mediated rRNA promoter. The pred...
متن کاملLeishmaniasis: current status of vaccine development.
Leishmaniasis, a spectrum of diseases caused by various forms of Leishmania has become a major health problem all over the world. Vaccination against leishmaniasis has passed through many developmental stages beginning with the ancient practice of 'leishmanization'. Due to various problems and difficulties associated with traditional vaccines, the interest has been shifted to novel approaches o...
