摘要

A new dominant amplifiable selective system for use in bacterium-animal cell shuttle vectors was developed by the insertion of a 2-kilobase genomic fragment containing the cloned Escherichia coli gene for asparagine synthetase (AS) into the pBR322-simian virus 40 recombinant vector pSV2 so as to place the translational initiator codon for the bacterial AS about 1,000 base pairs downstream from the simian virus 40 early promoter. This new construct, pSV2-AS, retains bacterial sequences for transcriptional and translational initiation and so can express AS in bacteria. The construct can also complement AS- mutants of mammalian cells, giving AS+ transfectants capable of growth in medium lacking asparagine, with relatively high efficiency (about 300 colonies per microgram of DNA per 10(6) cells exposed). The vector can be amplified up to 100-fold in such AS+ transfectants by selection in asparagine-free medium containing increasing concentrations of the AS inhibitor beta-aspartyl hydroxamate. AS+ transfectants were found to be much more resistant to a second AS inhibitor, Albizziin, than were normal AS+ animal cell lines. This difference, which may indicate a strong resistance of the bacterial AS enzyme to Albizziin, was exploited to develop an effective selection for bacterial AS transfectants of a number of wild-type AS+ cell lines of rat, Chinese hamster, mouse, and human origin. LR-73 cells, a Chinese hamster AS+ cell line, were transfected with pSV2-AS with an efficiency of about 1,000 colonies per 0.5 microgram of DNA per 10(6) cells. The integrated construct in these cells was amplified by incubation of the transfectants in increasing concentrations of beta-aspartyl hydroxamate. Advantages and disadvantages of this new dominant, selectable, and amplifiable marker over markers commonly used in shuttle vectors are discussed.
