    Notes: Summary In a temperature-sensitive, high CO2-requiring mutant of Synechococcus sp. PCC7942, the ability to fix intracellularly accumulated inorganic carbon was severely impaired at non-permissive temperature (41° C). In contrast, inorganic carbon uptake and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase activity in the mutant were comparable to the respective values obtained with the wild-type strain. The mutant was transformed to the wild-type phenotype (ability to form colonies at non-permissive temperature under ordinary air) with the genomic DNA of the wild-type strain. A clone containing a 36 kb genomic DNA fragment of the wild-type strain complemented the mutant phenotype. The complementing activity region was associated with internal 17 kb SmaI, 15 kb HindIII, 3.8 kb BamHI and 0.87 kb Pstl fragments. These 4 fragments overlapped only in a 0.4 kb HindIII-PstI region. In the transformants obtained with total genomic DNA or a plasmid containing the 3.8 kb BamHI fragment, the ability to fix intracellular inorganic carbon was restored. Southern hybridization and partial nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that the cloned genomic region was located approximately 20 kb downstream from the structural genes for subunits of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. The cloned region was transcribed into a 0.5 kb mRNA. These results indicate that the cloned genomic region of Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 is involved in the efficient utilization of intracellular inorganic carbon for photosynthesis.

    Notes: Human bcl-2 DNA was introduced into mouse hybridoma 2E3 cells and expressed at a high level by using BCMGSneo vector, which reportedly amplifies as multiple copies in the cells independently of their chromosomes. The high expression of bcl-2 in BCMGSneo-bcl-2 transfectants was confirmed by western blotting. In batch cultures, the overexpression of bcl-2 raised the maximum viable cell density by 45%, delayed the initiation of apoptosis by 2 days, and prolonged the viable culture period by 4 days. The delayed initiation of apoptosis was detected by emergence of the ladder pattern on DNA electrophoresis and increase of the dead cell number. The bcl-2 transfectants produced lgG1 fourfold per batch culture in comparison with 2E3 cells transfected with BCMGSneo but not with bcl-2: a little less than twofold due to the improved survival of the cells and more than twofold due to the enhanced lgG1 production rate per cell of the bcl-2 transfectants. The method to engineer hybridoma cells genetically with bcl-2 using BCMGSneo vector for increasing viability and productivity would be widely applied for improving antibody productivity of hybridoma cultures. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract Human bcl-2 and bag-1 DNA were introduced into mouse hybridoma 2E3- O cells and expressed. The expression of bcl-2 in BCMGneo-bcl2 transfectants was confirmed by ELISA and that of bag-1 in pZeo-bag1 was confirmed by western blotting. In batch cultures, the over-expression of bcl-2 prolonged the culture period by 2 days and co-expression of bcl-2 and bag-1 prolonged the culture period by 3 days. The delayed increase in the dead cell number in culture of the bcl-2 and bag-1 cotransfectant indicated the additional antiapoptosis effect of bcl-2 and bag-1 cotransfection in comparison with the bcl-2 only transfection. The bcl-2 transfectants (2E3O-Bcl2) produced antibody twofold per batch culture in comparison with 2E3-O cells transfected with BCMGSneo (2E3O-Mock). Enhancement of this MoAb production was due to the improved survival of the cells and was not due to stimulation of antibody production rate per cell by Bcl-2 expression. And the bcl-2 and bag-1 co-transfectant (2E3O-Bcl2-BAG1) produced antibody approximately fourfold of 2E3O-Mock per batch culture. Enhancement of this MoAb production was due to the improved survival of the cells and was partly due to stimulation of MoAb production rate per cell in the non-growing phase by the cotransfection. The method to engineer hybridoma cells genetically with bcl-2 and bag-1 for increasing viability and productivity would be widely applied for improving antibody productivity of hybridoma cultures.
