    摘要: Recombinant non-human mammals having reduced or no expression of vesicular acetylcholine transporter protein (VAChT) as compared to the corresponding wild-type mammal are provided. The mammal may have, e.g., impaired performance in object and social recognition and/or impaired neuromuscular performance and/or alterations in autonomic nervous system function as compared to the corresponding wild-type mammal. Methods of screening a compound for cholinergic activity or activity in treating a cholinergic neurotransmission disorder are also provided. In addition, a cell such as a nerve cell isolated from a mammal as described herein is provided, along with cell cultures, which are useful in vitro for screening the activity of candidate compounds for their effect on cholinergic neurotransmission, and for their activity in treating cholinergic neurotransmission disorders.

    摘要: Recombinant or transgenic non-human mammals are described having a mutant tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2) gene resulting in altered synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptophan and serotonin in the brain. In some embodiments the mutant tryptophan hydroxylase 2 gene contains mouse R439H and/or P447R functional mutations, or their corresponding mutations in other species. Congenic non-human mammals having mutant tryptophan hydroxylase 2 genes are also provided. Methods of screening a compound for serotonergic activity or activity in treating a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder are provided, which include administering a test compound to a recombinant non-human mammal and then detecting the presence or absence of serotonergic activity, or activity in treating a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder, in the mammal. A cell such as a nerve cell (e.g., a central nervous system neuron) isolated from a transgenic or congenic mammal is also disclosed, along with cell cultures containing these cells. Such mammals and cells and cell cultures are useful in vitro for screening the activity of candidate compounds for their effect on serotonergic neurotransmission and for their activity in treating serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorders.

    摘要: Disclosed is a transformed yeast cell containing a first heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein-coupled receptor and a second heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein α subunit (mammalian Gα). The first and second heterologous DNA sequences are capable of expression in the cell, but the cell is incapable of expressing an endogenous G protein α-subunit (yeast Gα). The cells are useful for screening compounds which affect the rate of dissociation of Gα from Gβγ in a cell. Also disclosed is a novel DNA expression vector useful for making cells as described above. The vector contains a first segment comprising at least a fragment of the extreme amino-terminal coding sequence of a yeast G protein-coupled receptor. A second segment is positioned downstream from the first segment (and in correct reading frame therewith), with the second segment comprising a DNA sequence encoding a heterologous G protein-coupled receptor.
