    摘要: The invention provides methods and compositions for inserting a DNA sequence in the genome of a cell by homologous recombination. In particular, the method utilizes a selection scheme in which a selection marker gene that encodes a fluorescence protein, such as a green fluorescence protein, is used for selection against random, non homologous insertions.

    摘要: Methods are provided for identifying a gene at a random chromosomal locus in the genome of a mammalian cell. The method involves inactivating one copy of the gene by integrating one DNA construct (knockout construct) in that gene copy. The knockout construct includes a positive selection marker region sequence and, in a 5' direction from the selection marker region sequence, a transcription initiation region sequence responsive to a transactivation factor, said transcription initiation region oriented for antisense RNA transcription in the direction away from the selection marker region sequence. The second copy of the gene is inactivated by transforming the cells with a second DNA construct (transactivation construct) containing a gene sequence for the transactivation factor which initiates antisense RNA transcription extending from the knockout construct into the chromosomal locus flanking the knockout construct at its 5' end. Inactivation of both gene copies may result in a change in cell phenotype distinguishable from the wild-type phenotype. Optionally, the wild-type phenotype can be regained by introducing a third construct that can inhibit antisense RNA transcription.

    摘要: TSG101 is a tumor susceptibility gene whose homozygous functional knock out in fibroblasts leads to transformation and the ability of these cells to form metastatic tumors in nude mice. The cellular transformation that results from inactivation of TSG101 is reversible by restoration of TSG101 function. Decreased expression of TSG101 is associated with the occurrence of certain human cancers, including breast carcinomas. The TSG101 nucleic acid compositions find use in identifying homologous or related proteins and the DNA sequences encoding such proteins; in producing compositions that modulate the expression or function of the protein; and in studying associated physiological pathways. In addition, modulation of the gene activity in vivo is used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes, such as treatment of cancer, identification of cell type based on expression, and the like. The DNA is further used as a diagnostic for a genetic predisposition to cancer, and to identify specific cancers having mutations in this gene.
