Embodiment 1

[0095] Example 1 Identification of native chromosomal loci with strong transcriptional activity

[0096] Plasmid for random integration into the CHO genome: modified based on the original attP-containing plasmid described by Thyagarajan et al. (2001, Mol Cell Biol. 21(12):3926-34). Specifically, the original plasmid was modified to replace the Zeocin marker with a neomycin marker. In addition, the firefly luciferase gene was replaced with the EGFP gene controlled by the SV40 promoter ( figure 1 ).

[0097] Stable transfection: The modified plasmid was purified using Qiagen Midiprep columns. 25 µg of DNA was digested overnight with the restriction enzyme BamHI to linearize the plasmid. The resulting linear DNA was then transfected into CHO cells to generate stable integration. Two days after transfection, the cells were split into new culture plates and hygromycin was added to the medium to select for stable integration events. Cell cultures were grown for 3 weeks and t...

Embodiment 2

[0105] Example 2 Insertion of landing pads at identified natural chromosomal integration sites

[0106] Homologous recombination: Genomic DNA flanking the integration site is identified and cloned into a plasmid containing positive and negative selection markers ( figure 2 ). For each site, a longer homology arm (3-4 kb in length) was cloned 5' of the neomycin resistance gene. A short homology arm (1.5-2 kb in length) was cloned 3' of the neomycin resistance gene. A single phage-binding site, attP, is located at the end of the long homology arm.

[0107] The homologous recombination plasmid was digested with NotI enzyme to linearize the plasmid; the long homology arm was at one end of the linear DNA. After transfection into CHO cells, neomycin was added to the medium to select for cells that integrated the linear DNA in the cell chromosome. A pool of resistant clones was obtained after 4-6 weeks. The cells are then negatively selected by adding ganciclovir to the mediu...

Abstract

Provided herein are methods for stable integration and/or expression of one or more recombinant polynucleotides in a host cell. The recombinant polynucleotides are typically integrated into the host genome at some native chromosomal integration sites. The integration can be mediated by homologous recombination or by using a hybrid recombinase targeting the specific chromosomal locations. The native chromosomal integration sites in the host cells, which support stable integration and strong transcription activities of foreign genes, are present within or adjacent to specific genes in the CHO genome, ankyrin 2 gene (Ank2), cleavage and polyadenylation specific factor 4 gene (Cpsf4), C-Mos gene, and Nephrocystin-1/Mal gene. Also provided are methods and nucleic acid molecules for inserting site-specific recombination sequences (chromosomal landing pads) into these specific chromosomal locations, engineered host cells containing chromosomal landing pads, methods and compositions (e.g., kits) therefore.
