DNA Bacteriophages01:26

DNA Bacteriophages

104
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...

Viral Replication: Lysogenic Cycle01:16

Viral Replication: Lysogenic Cycle

148
The lysogenic cycle is a crucial viral replication strategy that allows bacteriophages to persist within host cells without immediately destroying them. This process is primarily observed in temperate phages, such as bacteriophage lambda (λ), which infects Escherichia coli. The cycle allows the viral genome to persist across bacterial generations while keeping host cells viable.Integration of the Viral GenomeUpon infection, bacteriophage lambda attaches to the bacterial surface and injects...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.1K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Transduction01:16

Transduction

81
Among the three main modes of HGT—transformation, conjugation, and transduction—transduction is unique in that it is mediated by bacteriophages, or bacterial viruses.Transduction occurs in two ways. Generalized transduction occurs during the lytic cycle of a bacteriophage infection. In this process, bacteriophages infect bacterial cells, replicate within them, and ultimately cause cell lysis, releasing newly assembled virions. Occasionally, random fragments of the bacterial genome...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Seamless DNA vectors, lacking bacterial genetic elements, are promising for biomedical applications, including DNA vaccines.
  • Large-scale production of these vectors often requires engineered *Escherichia coli* strains for precise DNA sequence deletion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce strain MG1655-ISC as a component of a lambda integrase genome editing platform.
  • To demonstrate a method for easily producing seamless vectors of various sizes (hundreds of base pairs to over ten kilobase pairs).

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing an engineered lambda integrase capable of recombining DNA crossover sites with differing sequences.
  • Employing engineered *Escherichia coli* for tightly regulated expression of site-specific DNA recombinases.
  • Developing an in vivo seamless vector production system.

Main Results:

  • Strain MG1655-ISC enables the production of seamless vectors at various scales.
  • The engineered lambda integrase facilitates recombination between non-identical DNA crossover sites.
  • The resulting seamless vectors are suitable for genome editing in higher eukaryotes, accommodating target site sequence variations.

Conclusions:

  • The described method simplifies in vivo seamless vector production.
  • The engineered vectors offer utility in the biomedical space, particularly for genome editing applications.
  • Future modularity can be achieved by incorporating sites for other genome targeting systems.
