Complementation of chromosomal mutations in trans can introduce artifacts due to the number of episomal copies of the gene in question. One solution is to study the gene expressed at a single ectopic site in cis. We have designed and constructed a vector that allows homologous recombination into a gene encoding a frame-shifted IS1016-V6 protein in the Haemophilus influenzae Rd KW20 chromosome (HI1018). This site is the location of the > or = 35 kilobase capsule locus in encapsulated type b and d strains. This locus is not present in the nontypeable Rd KW20 strain, thus allowing ectopic expression of genes homologously recombined into HI1018 without polar effects.
由于所讨论基因的附加体质粒拷贝数,反式互补染色体突变可能会引入假象。一种解决方案是研究在顺式中单个异位位点表达的基因。我们设计并构建了一种载体,该载体允许同源重组到流感嗜血杆菌Rd KW20染色体(HI1018)中编码移码IS1016-V6蛋白的基因中。该位点是b型和d型包膜菌株中≥35千碱基荚膜基因座的位置。该基因座在不可分型的Rd KW20菌株中不存在,因此允许同源重组到HI1018中的基因进行异位表达而无极性效应。
