A copy number amplification system for yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) was combined with simultaneous overexpression of genes integrated into a YAC. The chromosome VII (1,105 kb) was successfully split to 887 kb, 44 kb containing the element for copy number amplification, and a 184-kb split-YAC. The 44-kb split-mini YAC was amplified a maximum of 9-fold, and the activity of the reporter enzymes integrated into the split-mini YAC increased about 5-7-fold. These results demonstrate that the mini-YAC containing a targeted chromosome region can be readily amplified, and the specific genes in the mini-YAC could be overexpressed by increasing the copy number.
用于酵母人工染色体(YAC)的拷贝数扩增系统与整合到YAC中的基因的同时过表达相结合。VII号染色体(1105 kb)成功地被分裂为887 kb、包含拷贝数扩增元件的44 kb以及一个184 kb的分裂YAC。44 kb的分裂微型YAC最多可扩增9倍,整合到分裂微型YAC中的报告酶的活性增加了约5至7倍。这些结果表明,含有目标染色体区域的微型YAC可以很容易地被扩增,并且微型YAC中的特定基因可以通过增加拷贝数而过表达。
