• Genes function is expressed through protein (gene determines the primary structure of a particular protein in the body). • Gene is made up of DNA, whereas protein is made up of amino acids. • Genes carry the genotype, whereas proteins express the phenotypes.

pREM: a positive selection vector system for direct PCR cloning

InactiveUS6544782B1Eliminate and greatly reduce false positive cloneSimple cloningSugar derivativesFermentationEscherichia coliBiology
The present invention describes the development of a positive selection vector based on regulatory element modulation, wherein such modulation is achieved via insertional reconstruction or destruction of a regulatory element controlling transcription, translation, DNA replication and termination. A positive selection cloning vector pREM5Tc has been developed based on insertional reconstruction of a regulatory element of a reporter gene. The vector pREM5Tc carries the tetracycline resistance reporter gene with no functional -35 region of its promoter, a regulatory element, thus resulting in no expression of the tetracycline resistance gene. Hence a host cell carrying the vector pREM5Tc is unable to produce the tetracycline resistance gene protein resulting in inhibition of its growth in presence of tetracycline. An E. coli consensus -35 region is recognized as 5'-TTGACA-3' and a primer used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) carries at its 5' end the sequence 5'-TGTCAA-3', which is the complementary sequence of 5'-TTGACA-3'. The PCR-amplified DNA fragment is ligated to pREM5Tc thus reconstructing the functional promoter of the tetracycline resistance reporter gene. Subsequent transformation of a host cell with the recombinant vector (carrying an insert DNA) results in production of the tetracycline resistance reporter gene protein that confers resistance to tetracycline thus allowing only the recombinants to grow in presence of tetracycline. The positive selection vector pREM5Tc greatly reduces, if not eliminates, the number of exonuclease-generated false positive clones.

Methods and systems for the identification of components of mammalian biochemical networks as targets for therapeutic agents

Systems and methods for modeling the interactions of the several genes, proteins and other components of a cell, employing mathematical techniques to represent the interrelationships between the cell components and the manipulation of the dynamics of the cell to determine which components of a cell may be targets for interaction with therapeutic agents. A first such method is based on a cell simulation approach in which a cellular biochemical network intrinsic to a phenotype of the cell is simulated by specifying its components and their interrelationships. The various interrelationships are represented with one or more mathematical equations which are solved to simulate a first state of the cell. The simulated network is then perturbed by deleting one or more components, changing the concentration of one or more components, or modifying one or more mathematical equations representing the interrelationships between one or more of the components. The equations representing the perturbed network are solved to simulate a second state of the cell which is compared to the first state to identify the effect of the perturbation on the state of the network, thereby identifying one or more components as targets. A second method for identifying components of a cell as targets for interaction with therapeutic agents is based upon an analytical approach, in which a stable phenotype of a cell is specified and correlated to the state of the cell and the role of that cellular state to its operation. A cellular biochemical network believed to be intrinsic to that phenotype is then specified by identifying its components and their interrelationships and representing those interrelationships in one or more mathematical equations. The network is then perturbed and the equations representing the perturbed network are solved to determine whether the perturbation is likely to cause the transition of the cell from one phenotype to another, thereby identifying one or more components as targets.

Maize water-logging tolerance-related transcription factor gene zm-bRLZ, molecular marker and application

The invention belongs to the technical field of plant gene engineering, and relates to clone and application of a maize water-logging tolerance-related transcription factor gene zm-bRLZ. The nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown as SEQ ID No. 1, and the gene has a total length of 4,027bp and comprises 6 exons. The cDNA sequence of the gene is shown as SEQ ID No. 2, and 282 amino acids are encoded on the gene. In flooding stress, the expression of the gene in maize inbred line Hz32 seedling roots is up-regulated and the expression level of the gene in the Mo17 is kept unchanged. The in-vitro combination of a gene protein product and an antidiuretic hormone (ADH) promoter anaerobic response factor shows that the zm-bRLZ gene has a regulation and control effect on an anaerobic induced gene. A pair of cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers is developed by utilizing zm-bRLZ gene sequence difference of the maize water-logging tolerance inbred line Hz32 and high-sensitivity K12. The gene is positioned at a water-logging tolerance quantitative trait locus (QTL) peak part of 9.04bin by utilizing K12*Hz32 F2 group. A candidate gene correlation analysis proves that a zm-bRLZ gene promoter region and a plurality of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites at a 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) are all obviously associated with a plurality of water-logging tolerance indexes.

The invention relates to preparation and application of an egg yolk antibody containing florfenicol drug resistance gene protein (FloR). Riemerella anatipestifer (CCTCC No: M208128) resistant to florfenicol is separated from a duck dies clinically; PCR is adopted to amplify a section of the drug resistance gene (floR); the section of the drug resistance gene is cloned to an expression plasmid pET28a (+) for transfecting host bacteria BL21 (DE3). The recombination strain is subject to induction expression, and fusion protein containing the target gene section and having a HIS label is prepared; the fusion protein exists in the form of an inclusion body; the inclusion body is extracted for the preparation of an immunogen; the immunogen is used for immunizing a laying hen, so as to obtain the egg yolk antibody capable of improving the sensitivity of the drug resistance strain to florfenicol; the egg yolk antibody is used in combination with florfenicol to remarkably improve the treatment effect on a duck infected with a drug-resistant riemerella anatipestifer strain ; as other strains resistant to florfenicol are also mediated through a floR gene, the egg yolk antibody can be applied to the veterinary clinical treatment on livestock and poultry infected with strains resistant to florfenicol.
