Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

5.9K
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...

Immunological Memory01:23

Immunological Memory

557
Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

In-vitro Mutagenesis

13.9K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a modular, orthogonal, and quantifiable in vitro genetic memory system.
  • To utilize serine integrases for DNA-based information storage and processing.
  • To demonstrate the system's scalability and potential for programmable biochemical functions.

Main Methods:

  • Designed an in vitro genetic memory system with three orthogonal serine integrases.
  • Organized the system into standardized modules using streptavidin-biotin and parS-ParB interactions.
  • Tested orthogonality, scalability, and functionalization of the designed modules.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated orthogonality, scalability, and functionalization of the in vitro genetic memory system.
  • Implemented a cascade biotransformation of styrene to (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol ((S)-PED).
  • Achieved up to double the transformation rate compared to free-floating enzymes.

Conclusions:
