Genome Transplantation in Bacteria: Changing One Species to Another

Abstract: As a step toward propagation of synthetic genomes, we completely replaced the genome of a bacterial cell with one from another species by transplanting a whole genome as naked DNA. Intact genomic DNA from Mycoplasma mycoides large colony (LC), virtually free of protein, was transplanted into Mycoplasma capricolum cells by polyethylene glycol–mediated transformation. Cells selected for tetracycline resistance, carried by the M. mycoides LC … Show more

“…For success in the production of alternative biofuels, similar metabolic engineering strategies will be necessary; for example, the development of targeted and efficient transport systems, the improvement of the resistance of biofuels producers to the toxic effects of accumulating biomolecules, the optimization of carbon flux to the desired products, and the construction of strains that are robust under industrial process conditions [14,[72][73][74]. Some advances that might have enormous potential in the field of microbial biofuel production include the engineer-ing of a reduced-genome E. coli strain that can be used for the systematic design of desired phenotypes [75], and the inter-microbial genome transplantation demonstrated in Mycoplasma caprilocum [76]. These examples represent the first steps towards engineering an entire biological system from the ground up.…”

“…(2,3) In the 1990s, the advent of highthroughput sequencing spurred application of this powerful new technology to the challenging endeavor of trying to understand the genetic basis of various inherited human diseases. One such disease was sclerosteosis, a very rare, recessively inherited highbone-mass disorder that was thought to be caused primarily by excessive osteoblast-mediated bone formation rather than by defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption.…”

“…Le développement de cette école se poursuit ensuite, de 2002 à 2010, et l'on retrouve les étapes clés du projet de Craig Venter, de la synthèse de la première bactérie au génome entièrement synthétique. On voit ainsi successivement apparaître les travaux de Glass en 2006 [11] qui visent à identifier un génome minimal, les travaux de Lartigue en 2007 sur la transplantation du génome [12], et, en 2008, les travaux de Gibson sur la synthèse du génome intégral [13], pour arriver à l'expérience finale en 2010 avec la synthèse du génome entièrement synthétique [14]. Nous avons également identifié les références historiques de l'école Protocell.…”
