Abstract

We designed a new type of polyadenylation-signal (PAS) trap vector system in living mice, the piggyBac (PB) (PAS-trapping (EGFP)) gene trapping vector, which takes advantage of the efficient transposition ability of PB and efficient gene trap and insertional mutagenesis of PAS-trapping. The reporter gene of PB(PAS-trapping (EGFP)) is an EGFP gene with its own promoter, but lacking a poly(A) signal. Transgenic mouse lines carrying PB(PAS-trapping (EGFP)) and protamine 1 (Prm1) promoter-driven PB transposase transgenes (Prm1-PBase) were generated by microinjection. Male mice doubly positive for PB(PAS-trapping (EGFP)) and Prm1-PBase were crossed with WT females, generating offspring with various insertion mutations. We found that 44.8% (26/58) of pups were transposon-positive progenies. New transposon integrations comprised 26.9% (7/26) of the transposon-positive progenies. We found that 100% (5/5) of the EGFP fluorescence-positive mice had new trap insertions mediated by a PB transposon in transcriptional units. The direction of the EGFP gene in the vector was consistent with the direction of the endogenous gene reading frame. Furthermore, mice that were EGFP-PCR positive, but EGFP fluorescent negative, did not show successful gene trapping. Thus, the novel PB(PAS-trapping (EGFP)) system is an efficient genome-wide gene-trap mutagenesis in mice.

摘要

我们在活体小鼠中设计了一种新型的聚腺苷酸化信号(PAS)捕获载体系统,即猪尾巴(PB)(PAS捕获(增强绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)))基因捕获载体,它利用了PB高效的转座能力以及PAS捕获高效的基因捕获和插入诱变作用。PB(PAS捕获(EGFP))的报告基因是一个带有自身启动子但缺乏聚腺苷酸信号的EGFP基因。通过显微注射产生了携带PB(PAS捕获(EGFP))和鱼精蛋白1(Prm1)启动子驱动的PB转座酶转基因(Prm1-PBase)的转基因小鼠品系。将PB(PAS捕获(EGFP))和Prm1-PBase双阳性的雄性小鼠与野生型雌性小鼠杂交,产生具有各种插入突变的后代。我们发现44.8%(26/58)的幼崽是转座子阳性后代。新的转座子整合占转座子阳性后代的26.9%(7/26)。我们发现100%(5/5)的EGFP荧光阳性小鼠在转录单元中有由PB转座子介导的新的捕获插入。载体中EGFP基因的方向与内源基因阅读框的方向一致。此外,EGFP-PCR阳性但EGFP荧光阴性的小鼠没有显示出成功的基因捕获。因此,新型的PB(PAS捕获(EGFP))系统是一种在小鼠中进行全基因组范围基因捕获诱变的有效方法。
