Additional remarks genetic modification | The complete coding region of pymif was PCR amplified from the cDNA clone MS36 obtained from a sequenced P. yoelii 17XL blood-stage cDNA library using forward 5'-GATATCATATGATGCCTTGCTGCGAATTAATAACAAAC-3´ and reverse 5´-GAATTCTCGAGTTAGCCAAATAGTGAACCACTAAAA–3´ primers.
A BamHI pymif cDNA fragment was cloned into gel-purified pPbGFPcon after excision of the gfp gene fragment to generate pPyMIF(rrna). The pPbGFPcon plasmid contains a gfp expression cassette under the control of a constitutive P. berghei ef-1aα promoter, flanked by sequences to target insertion into the c- and/or d– ssu-rna subunit loci by a single crossover event. P. berghei ssu-rrna genes are 96% identical to P. yoelii ssu-rrna genes. The gfp gene was replaced with a pymif cDNA fragment to generate pPyMIF(rrna).
Genetic analysis showed that in addition to the endogenous pymif gene, Py17X-MIF(+) parasites contained two copies of the pymif transgene construct integrated in tandem into the c-ssu rrna gene. |
