Gene trapping in murine embryonic stem cells is a proven method for the simultaneous identification and mutation of genes in the mouse. Gene trap vectors are designed to detect insertions within genes through the production of a fusion mRNA transcript, making the identification of the endogenous gene possible by 5’ rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE). 1, record 1, English, - gene%20trapping

La recherche de gènes essentiels au développement embryonnaire de la souris a été abordée par la mise en œuvre de stratégies variées. Comparée à toutes ces approches, la stratégie de piégeage de gènes présente un important avantage : elle associe l'isolement et la caractérisation moléculaire d'un gène à l'étude de son profil d'expression ainsi qu'à la détermination de sa fonction in vivo. 1, record 1, French, - pi%C3%A9geage%20de%20g%C3%A8nes

In contrasts to protoplast fusion which is particularly useful for combining large parts of the genome in a mixed cytoplasm, especially where the characteristics of interest are controlled in a complex manner by a large number of genes, the power of recombinant DNA technology is greatest when small numbers of individual genes controlling known gene products are involved. 1, record 2, English, - mixed%20cytoplasm

Contrairement à la fusion de protoplastes qui est particulièrement utile pour combiner de grandes parties d'un génome dans un cytoplasme mixte, surtout lorsque les caractéristiques qui présentent de l'intérêt sont contrôlées de manière complexe par un grand nombre de gènes, la technologie de l'ADN recombinant offre les possibilités les plus grandes lorsque l'on met en œuvre un petit nombre de gènes bien déterminés qui régissent des produits connus. 1, record 2, French, - cytoplasme%20mixte

Distinct polypeptide chain in which lies the domain accommodating the catalytic site of complex enzymes. It is completely separated from the domain building up the binding site for the regulatory effector(s). From an evolutionary viewpoint, it is probable that gene fusion did occur in most cases rather than that originally continuous polypeptide chains have separated. In some oligomeric enzymes the allosteric site may have appeared as a result of gene duplication, e. g. in glutamate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, whereas in others by acquisition of a foreign structural gene, e. g. the NAD-binding domain in glycogen phosphorylase. However, in present day complex enzymes the catalytic and regulatory protein units remained separate, but associable, entities. 2, record 4, English, - catalytic%20subunit

The ATCase of E. coli has ... a molecular weight of about 310,000 but can be dissociated by treatment with mercurial reagents to yield two identical catalytic subunits and three identical regulatory subunits. Each of the two catalytic subunits has a molecular weight of about 100,000 and contains three polypeptide chains of molecular weight 34,000 called C chains. Each catalytic subunit contains three binding sites for the substrate aspartate, one on each of the three C chains. The catalytic subunits have enzymatic activity but are not sensitive to the modulator CTP. 3, record 4, English, - catalytic%20subunit

Virosome Vectors for gene therapy. The long term goal of this work is to develop a targeted, efficient, liposome-based vector for the delivery and insertion of the CFTR gene to lung cells. To do this, a combination of liposometechnology and molecular biology will be used. Three observations have led us to propose the outlined research :(i) The efficiency of liposome fusion to cells or organelles can be greatly enhanced by incorporating viral fusion proteins intovesicles.(ii) After liposome-cell fusion, the contents of the liposomes are released into the cell' s cytoplasm.(iii) By delivering DNA to nonlysosomal compartments of eukarvotic cells the efficiency of transfection can be greatly enhanced... 1, record 7, English, - virosome
