pubmed:abstractText |
"TKO" is an expression vector that knocks out the activity of a transcription factor in vivo under genetic control. We describe a successful test of this concept that used a sea urchin transcription factor of known function, P3A2, as the target. The TKO cassette employs modular cis-regulatory elements to express an encoded single-chain antibody that prevents the P3A2 protein from binding DNA in vivo. In normal development, one of the functions of the P3A2 transcription factor is to repress directly the expression of the CyIIIa cytoskeletal actin gene outside the aboral ectoderm of the embryo. Ectopic expression in oral ectoderm occurs if P3A2 sites are deleted from CyIIIa expression constructs, and we show here that introduction of an alphaP3A2.TKO expression cassette causes exactly the same ectopic oral expression of a coinjected wild-type CyIIIa construct. Furthermore, the alphaP3A2.TKO cassette derepresses the endogenous CyIIIa gene in the oral ectoderm and in the endoderm. alphaP3A2.TKO thus abrogates the function of the endogenous SpP3A2 transcription factor with respect to spatial repression of the CyIIIa gene. Widespread expression of alphaP3A2.TKO in the endoderm has the additional lethal effect of disrupting morphogenesis of the archenteron, revealing a previously unsuspected function of SpP3A2 in endoderm development. In principle, TKO technology could be utilized for spatially and temporally controlled blockade of any transcription factor in any biological system amenable to gene transfer.
