Default Transposons as vector

1. Ac-Ds Elements
The activator (Ac) and dissociation (Ds) elements are simple transposons of maize. It has 4.565 kb long autonomous sequence which transcribes 3.5 kb long GC-rich un-translated leader sequence. Four introns are spliced out from the primary transcript and 3.312 nucleotide long mature mRNA is obtained. Consequently 807 amino acids long protein is translated. Within the Ac element the terminal inverted repeats (TIR) of 11 bp are located at both the ends which play a key role in transposition. The protein synthesised by Ac is called transposase which causes transcription of Ac elements (Fig.).
The Ds (dissociation) is the defective element of Ac family. Due to deletion, nonautosomal elements are obtained from the autosomal elements. It activates by trans-acting transposase. The 11 bp long TIR is common to all Ds elements. The enzyme transposase cannot be expressed by the Ds element due to deletions. But the transposase that is produced by Ac element is diffused and trans-acting. It causes transposition of Ds elements. By detecting part of the region transposons can be used as vector for cloning a foreign DNA.
P Elements:The transposons of Drosophila are known as P elements. The size of different P elements vary. The largest element is 1907 bp long containing 31 bp long terminal inverted repeats at both the ends. The complete elements move autonomously due to expression of transposase enzyme. The other P elements lack internal gene that produce transposase. The terminal and sub-terminal sequences cause transposition in them.
A foreign DNA can be inserted into the transposase element to develop recombinant P elements which can be microinjected into the fertilised egg along with normal P element. The normal P supplies transposase to the recombinant P element. Here the non-autonomous element acts as a transformation vector. Consequently the foreign gene inserted into embryonic cell is transposed onto an embryonic chromosome of Drosophila.
Gierl et al. (1989) have reviewed the transposable elements of maize. A recombinant P element was prepared by inserting a DNA fragment of a rosy gene (and a marker gene for identification of transgene). It was inserted into a plasmid. Similarly a P element, lacking the ability for integration, was inserted into a plasmid to encode transposase. Both the plasmids were co-injected into the embryo of Drosophila melanogaster mutant in rosy gene. It was found that 50% progeny of D. melanogaster were rosy progeny. This shows the successful transfer of a foreign gene into a cell through P element (Gierl et al., 1989).
PLANT AND ANIMAL VIRUSES AS CLONING VECTORS
Using gene cloning techniques based on E. coli as host, many eukaryotic genes and their control sequences have been isolated and analysed. Many applications of genetic engineering require vectors for the expression of genes on diverse eukaryotic organisms for engineering of new plants, gene therapy and large scale production of
eukaryotic proteins.
1. Plant Viral Vector
Plant virus-based vectors can be used for transfer of genes with high efficiency. Because virus genome containing DNA insert cause virsuses infection in host plant and amplified naturally. However, there are many viruses that cause systemic infection. Consequently their genes are introduced into all the cells. Since virus infection results in delivery of a new genetic material into host cells, they provide a natural example of genetic engineer. The DNA insert linked with viral DNA that is present in host cell replicates and expresses in host cell along with viral genes.
For insertion of a desired gene into viral genome, it is necessary to study and characterized the virus into detail so that the DNA linked with virus genome may express in the plant. Construction of viral vector that can express in host cell is based on DNA or RNA molecules. Plant virus vectors are nonintegrative. They are transmitted systematically in plant and assembled in host cell in high copy number. But it never integrates with the host genome. Therefore, to act as viral vector, they should:
(i) carry extra nucleic acid (DNA or RNA),
(ii) have broad host range,
(iii) be easily transmitted, and
(iv) be preferred to manipulate their genome.
There are three groups of viruses (caulimoviruses, geminiviruses and tobamoviruses) which have been worked out in detail for construction of vector.
(a) Caulimoviruses: This group includes cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) which has extensively been studied. This virus infects mainly the members of Cruciferae. Genome of CaMV is made up of double stranded DNA which was first manipulated by recombinant DNA technology. The CaMV is transmitted naturally simply by rubbing of leaves or by aphids. Viral particles transmitted are isometric, 50 nm in diameter and isolated from inclusion bodies. Viral particles spread rapidly in 3-4 weeks throughout the plant and found at high copy number (about 106 virions per cell).
The CaMV DNA remains as linear open circular molecule of 8 kb twisted or knotted forms (Fig).
It consists of tightly packed six major and two minor (total I-VIII) open reading frame (ORF) on one coding strand. It replicates through reverse transcription. After infecting the host cell DNA enters inside the nucleus where a supercoiled minichromosome is formed after digestion of a single stranded overhangs and digestion of gaps. Inside the nucleus of plant cell, the minichromosome acts as a template for nuclear RNA polymerase II forming RNA transcripts. Then the transcripts are transported to cytoplasm where it undergoes wither translation or replication into (- ) DNA strand using reverse transcriptase. The (+) DNA strand is synthesised from two primer-binding sites that are present near gaps 2 and 3. The RNA synthesis starts from gap 3' to 5' end of (- ) DNA strand, whereas synthesis started from gap 3 continues to gap 2. Finally, DNA molecules are packed to form viral particles. These particles re-start the similar events after re-entering the cell of a healthy tissue of other plants.
The two genomic regions of the virus (ORF I and ORF VII) are non-essential. ORF II synthesises the factors for insect transmission and ORF VII has un-known function. These two regions can be replaced by a foreign DNA and vector constructed. By using this approach, in 1984, Brisson and co-workers transferred CaMV vector containing the bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, into turnip plant cells. This gene expressed into the plants.
(b) Geminiviruses: This group consists of single-stranded DNA containing plant viruses that cause diseases in maize cereals, cassava, tomato, Digitaria, Chloris, etc. It has geminated (two paired particles) morphology which differentiate it from the other groups of viruses. The capsids are icosahedral, of 10-20x20 nm dimension enclosing covalently closed one or two circular single-stranded DNA molecule(s) (2.6-3.0 kb). After infection DNA molecule enters in the nucleus. The single stranded DNA is converted into a double-stranded DNA replicative form. Thereafter, many copies of replicative forms of DNA is formed inside the nucleus possibly through 'rolling circle mechanism'.
Genome of all group of geminiviruses consists of two elements (i.e. an origin of replication and replication protein), each may become a part of vector. The geminivirus vectors which have been constructed so far consists of reporter or other desired genes, replacing the coat protein expressing sequence of viral genome. These vectors are allowed to insert foreign gene in protoplasts, cultured cells or leaf discs.
(iii) Tobamoviruses: One of the important and thoroughly worked out viruses of this group is tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) which consists of RNA as a linear, large, undivided genome. RNA-based vector is constructed by inserting a foreign gene into an intact viral genome. For example TB2 was the first RNA-based RNA vector which was successfully spread in whole plant. TB2 vector was constructed by inserting a foreign gene at the 3' end of the movement protein ORE The nati ve subgenome promoter (sgp) drives the expression of the foreign gene and a sgp from the related virus i.e. ORSV (Odontoglossum ring spot virus) governs the expression of ORF of coat protein. RNA viral vectors containing gene insert can replicate only in protoplast, inoculated leaves or differentiated tissue.
Animal Viral Vectors
In nature there are several viruses which cause diseases. A virus gets adsorbed to the body surface of suitable host and infects the cell. This ability of animal viruses has been exploited and virusbased vectors have been designed to introduce foreign
DNA of known function into cultured eukaryotic cell. In 1979, for the first time a simivian virus 40 (SV 40)- based cloning vector was constructed and used in cloning experiment using mammalian cells. Since then several vectors were constructed using adenovirus, papillomaviruses, retroviruses to clone foreign DNA into the mammalian cells, and baculoviruses in insect cells. In recent years, retrovirus-based vectors are commonly used for gene cloning, because they can infect several types of cells. Since they are single stranded, their high concentrations are required for fully differentiated cells like neurons, hepatocytes, etc. The gag, pol and env genes of retroviruses (which are required for replication and assembly of viral particles) can be replaced with foreign DNA. The recombinant DNA is introduced into mammalian cells in tissue culture.
