A method for isolating a gene, comprising:
(i) isolating a cell possessing a post-translational characteristic of interest, said post-translational characteristic being the presence of a membrane-bound oligosaccharide or polysaccharide of interest on the surface of said cell, the presence of a soluble oligosaccharide or polysaccharide of interest in an extract of said cell, or the presence of a particularly glycosyltransferase activity in an extract of said cell;
(ii) creating a genetic library of either cDNA or genomic DNA from the genetic material of said isolated cell;
(iii) transforming host cells with said genetic library; and
(iv) screening said transformed host cells for a host cell containing said post-translational characteristic, thereby obtaining a cell containing said gene, is disclosed. The method can be used to obtain genes encoding glycosyltransferases.
一种分离基因的方法,包括:(i)分离具有感兴趣的后翻译特征的细胞,该后翻译特征是感兴趣的膜结合寡糖或多糖在该细胞表面的存在,感兴趣的寡糖或多糖在该细胞提取物中的存在,或者在该细胞提取物中具有特定的糖基转移酶活性;(ii)从所分离的细胞的遗传物质中创建cDNA或基因组DNA的基因库;(iii)将宿主细胞转化为该基因库;和(iv)筛选所转化的宿主细胞,以获得包含该基因的细胞,从而获得包含该基因的细胞。该方法可用于获得编码糖基转移酶的基因。
