Integration Efficiency

Abstract Biotechnological production requires genetically stable recombinant strains. To ensure genomic stability, recombinant DNA is commonly integrated into the genome of the host strain. Multiple genetic tools have been developed for genomic integration into baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previously, we had developed a vector toolkit EasyClone-MarkerFree for stable integration into eleven sites on chromosomes X, XI, and XII of S. cerevisiae. The markerless integration was enabled by CRISPR-Cas9 system. In this study, we have expanded the kit with eight additional intergenic integration sites located on different chromosomes. The integration efficiency into the new sites was above 80%. The expression level of green fluorescence protein (gfp) for all eight sites was similar or above XI-2 site from the original EasyClone-MarkerFree toolkit. The cellular growth was not affected by the integration into any of the new eight locations. The eight-vector expansion kit is available from AddGene.

Cryopreservation of the ovaries is a useful technology for preservation of germ cells from experimental animals, because if the female founder is infertile or has mutated mitochondrial DNA, preservation of female germ cells is necessary. Although it is possible to cryopreserve immature mouse ovaries with a high degree of viability by vitrification with a mixture of several cryoprotectants, the viability of cryopreserved adult mouse ovaries is still unknown. Here, we investigated the viability of mouse ovaries at various ages after cryopreservation by vitrification techniques. Donor ovaries were collected from 10-day-, 4-week-, 10-week- and 7-month-old, female, nulliparous, green fluorescence protein (GFP)-transgenic mice and cryopreserved by vitrification. The vitrified-warmed ovaries were orthotopically transplanted to 4- or 10-week-old mice. GFP-positive pups were obtained in all experimental groups. In the 4-week-old recipients, the percentages of GFP-positive pups among the total pups from recipients transplanted with ovaries of 10-day-, 4-week-, 10-week- and 7-month-old donors were 44%, 9%, 12% and 4% respectively. In the 10-week-old recipients, the percentages of GFP-positive pups among the total pups from recipients transplanted with ovaries of 10-day-, 4-week-, 10-week- and 7-month-old donors were 36%, 16%, 2% and 9% respectively. Furthermore, GFP-positive pups also were obtained from recipients transplanted with ovaries of donors without normal estrous cyclicity. Our results indicate that cryopreservation of mouse ovaries by vitrification is a useful method for the preservation of female germ cells from mice of various ages.

Tract Disease

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the single most important cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants and young children and a major viral agent responsible for respiratory tract disease in immunosuppressed individuals and the elderly, but no vaccines and antiviral drugs are available. Herein the recombinant RSV (rRSV) encoding enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP, rRSV-EGFP) was constructed and the potential for screening anti-RSV drugs was investigated. The recombinant plasmid of pBRATm-rRSV-EGFP, containing T7 transcription cassette composed of T7 promoter, RSV antigenomic cDNA with EGFP gene, HDV ribozyme (δ), and T7 terminator in the order of 5′ to 3′, was constructed and cotransfected into BHK/T7-9 cells together with helper plasmids encoding N, P, L, and M2-1 gene, respectively. The rescued rRSV-EGFP was confirmed by increasing expression of EGFP over blind passages and by RT-PCR. rRSV-EGFP was comparable to the other two recombinant RSVs encoding red fluorescent protein (RFP, rRSV-RFP) or luciferase (Luc, rRSV-Luc) in the growth kinetic, and there was a difference in sensitivity between them for screening anti-RSV agents based on infection of HEp-2 cells. The EGFP-encoding rRSV has been constructed and rescued successfully and has the potential for high-throughput anti-RSV drug screening in vitro.
