GENE TRAPPING Paras Yadav*, Jaspreet Singh Arora*, Sachinandan De*, Tirtha Kumar Datta*, Surender Lal Goswami*, Aarti Bhardwaj$, Shalini Jain# and Hariom Yadav# *Animal Biotechnology, #Animal Biochemistry Division, National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal-132001, Haryana, India $Meerut Institute of Engeenering and Technology, Meerut, U.P., India What is gene trapping ? Gene trapping is a form of insertional mutagenesis specifically designed to disrupt gene function by producing intragenic integration events. Evans, M.J. (1998) Dev. Dyn., 212, 167-169 • A random integration of a reporter gene construct, called entrapment vector into genome. • Productive integration events bring the reporter gene under the transcriptional regulation of an endogenous gene. Regulatory Components of a Gene – important for its expression Enhancer a set of short sequence elements which stimulate transcription of a gene. Promoter a combination of short sequence elements to which RNA polymerase binds in order to initiate transcription of a gene. Polyadenylation addition of typically 200 A residues to the 3' end of a mRNA. The poly(A) tail is important for stabilizing mRNA. Basic Strategy in Gene Trap Gene trap Strategy Choosing proper vector and delivery system Selecting the clones with markers Identification of location of the insert in the clone Studying biological questions: Production of chimeras Components of gene trap: • Mouse or human embryonic stem cell (for mammalian model) • Entrapment vector construct having the reporter gene and selectable marker. Reporter genes • The E.coli lacZ gene • The E.coli. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene • The firefly luciferase gene • The jelly fish green flourecence protein (GFP) gene Selectable Markers Positive selection: • Neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neoR) • Puromycin selection (Puro) Negative selection: • Herpes Simplex Thymidine kinase gene (hsv-tk) • Diphtheria toxin gene Types of vectors • • • • Enhancer trap vector Promoter trap vector Gene trap poly A trap Enhancer Trap Endogenous gene X Vector promoter Enhancer Exon 1 Exon 2 DNA RNA protein proteinX lac Z neo lac Z pA Exon 3 Vector Integration promoter P' neo lac Z neo β-gal NeoR pA Promoter Trap Endogenous gene X P' lac Z neo pA Vector Integration DNA lac Z RNA protein lac Z proteinX β-gal neo neo NeoR pA Gene Trap Endogenous gene X P' lac Z SA Vector Integration SA DNA lac Z neo Spliced transcript RNA protein lac Z SA proteinX β-gal neo NeoR neo pA pA Poly A Trap Endogenous gene X P' lac Z SA neo SD pA Vector Integration SA DNA lac Z neo pA SA RNA lac Z neo pA protein proteinX β-gal NeoR Nature Reviews Genet 2:756 (2001) Special types of Trapping (keeping functional objectives in view) 1.

One can learn more about epigenetics using trapped clones and identify imprinted genes (those are expressed from one chromosome only) . Nat Genet. 28:310 (2001). Should not be confused with gene targeting What is gene targeting? • Integration of genomic DNA into mammalian cell genome by homologous sequence recombination. • It is usually used to create direct mutagenesis in mammalian cell particularly in mouse embryonic stem cell. • Phenotypic consequence of specific genetic modification can be assessed in the organism (e.g. loss of function ). Gene Targeting Negative selection Positive selection TK neo x Vector x gene Chromosome Homologous recombination neo Targeted locus Limitations of gene trap 1. Lack of effective prescreening of trapped genes. 2. Integration of multiple copies of the trap vector etc. 3. Biasness of the trapping vectors. 4. Cannot be used for genes which are permanently switched off. 5. Particular gene of interest may not be mutated. 6. Effect of Differential and Alternative Splicing.
