  • Frog prince, a transposon vector for gene transfer in vertebrates
    Publication number: 20050241007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transposon-based DNA integration system comprising (a) a transposon which is devoid of a polynucleotide encoding a functional transposase and which comprises a polynucleotide of interest, wherein the transposon comprises inverted repeats having a degree of identity with the repeats within SEQ ID NO: 2 and its inverted repeat, respectively, of at least 90%; and (b) a transposase having at its N-terminus a DNA binding domain comprising the sequences of SEQ ID NO: 3 and 4; or (c) a polynucleotide encoding the transposase of (b). The present invention further relates to a method of transferring a polynucleotide of interest into cells of a vertebrate comprising the step of introducing the transposon-based DNA integration system of the invention into said cells.
