Efficient Transposition of the piggyBac (PB) Transposon in Mammalian Cells and Mice

TLDR
It is shown that piggyBac elements carrying multiple genes can efficiently transpose in human and mouse cell lines and also in mice, providing a first and critical step toward a highly efficient transposon system for a variety of genetic manipulations in mice and other vertebrates.

A global double‐fluorescent Cre reporter mouse

TL;DR: The mT/mG mouse as mentioned in this paper is a double-fluorescent Cre reporter mouse that expresses membrane-targeted tandem dimer tomato (mT) prior to Cre-mediated excision and membranetargeted green fluorescent protein (mG) after excision.

Critical nodes in signalling pathways: Insights into insulin action

TL;DR: The concept of 'critical nodes' is used to define the important junctions in these pathways and illustrate their unique role using insulin signalling as a model system.

piggyBac transposition reprograms fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: It is shown that the individual PB insertions can be removed from established iPS cell lines, providing an invaluable tool for discovery, and the traceless removal of reprogramming factors joined with viral 2A sequences delivered by a single transposon from murine iPS lines is demonstrated.

Generation of transgene-free induced pluripotent mouse stem cells by the piggyBac transposon

TL;DR: P piggyBac transposon–based reprogramming may be used to generate therapeutically applicable iPSCs and could be identified by negative selection.

A hyperactive piggyBac transposase for mammalian applications.

TL;DR: A unique hyperactive piggyBac transposase is generated with 17-fold and ninefold increases in excision and integration, respectively, and its applicability is shown by demonstrating an increased efficiency of generation of transgene-free mouse induced pluripotent stem cells.

Manipulating the mouse embryo: A laboratory manual

TL;DR: Here are recorded the tech- niques for preparing, inserting and analysing DNA sequences, for retroviral infection of mice, for production and use of EC and EK cells as vehicles for engineered sequences and for nuclear transplantation - all against a background of the basic procedures required for pro- ducing and handling the em- bryos.

Genetic Transformation of Drosophila with Transposable Element Vectors

TL;DR: A rosy transposon (ry1), constructed by inserting a chromosomal DNA fragment containing the wild-type rosy gene into a P transposable element, transformed germ line cells in 20 to 50 percent of the injected rosy mutant embryos indicating that the visible genetic defect in the host strain could be fully and permanently corrected by the transferred gene.

TSC2 is phosphorylated and inhibited by Akt and suppresses mTOR signalling

TL;DR: It is shown that TSC1–TSC2 inhibits the p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 and activates the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1, an inhibitor of translational initiation) and these functions are mediated by inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).
