Chimeric genes form through the combination of portions of one or more Gene coding sequences to produce new genes. These mutation s are distinct from Fusion protein fusion genes which merge whole gene sequences into a single reading frame and often retain their original functions.

Orphan date February 2009 Chimeric nucleases are an example of Protein engineering engineered proteins which must comprise a DNA binding domain to give sequence specificity and a nuclease domain for DNA cleavage. DNA binding domains details DNA binding domain DNA binding domains including the basic helix loop helix , zinc finger , helix turn helix and leucine zipper motifs have been used in construction of sequence specific nucleases. Of these, zinc fingers have been suggested the most important due to their modularity, allowing construction of a tailor made DNA binding domain. ref name durai2005 cite journal author Durai S, Mani M, Kandavelou K, Wu J, Porteus MH, Chandrasegaran S title Zinc finger nucleases custom designed molecular scissors for genome engineering of plant and mammalian cells journal Nucleic Acids Res. volume 33 issue 18 pages 5978 90 year 2005 pmid 16251401 doi 10.1093 nar gki912 url http nar.oxfordjournals.org cgi pmidlookup?view long&pmid 16251401 pmc 1270952 ref Nuclease domain details Nuclease The nuclease domain is responsible for physical cleavage of DNA strands and may introduce either single stranded or double stranded breaks.

Artificial T cell receptors also known as chimeric T cell receptors, chimeric immunoreceptors, chimeric antigen receptors CARs are engineered receptors, which graft an arbitrary specificity onto an T cell immune effector cell . Typically, these receptors are used to graft the specificity of a monoclonal antibody onto a T cell with transfer of their coding sequence facilitated by viral vectors retroviral vectors . In this way, a large number of cancer specific T cell s can be generated for use as adoptive cell therapy . ref cite journal title Artificial T cell receptors journal Cytotherapy year 2003 volume 5 issue 3 pages 211 26 last Pule first M coauthors Finney H, Lawson A doi 10.1080 14653240310001488 pmid 12850789 ref . Phase I clinical studies of this approach show efficacy. Anatomy of Chimeric Antigen Receptors The most common form of these molecules are fusions of single chain Variable fragments scFv derived from monoclonal antibodies, fused to CD3 zeta transmembrane and endodomain. Such molecules result in the transmission of a zeta signal in response to recognition by the scFv of its target. An example of such a construct is 14g2a Zeta, which is a fusion of a scFv derived from hybridoma 14g2a which recognizes disialoganglioside GD2 .

GeneGene the Dancing Machine , aka Eugene Patton born April 25, 1932 , was a member of the stage crew and occasional performer on The Gong Show . Gene was the first African American member of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees , Local 33. He was one of several amateur performers who would warm up and entertain the audience during commercial breaks. Host Chuck Barris found him so entertaining that he had him dance on the show on air, and he proved so popular that he soon became a recurring act, an occasional judge, and eventually the regular closing act for the show, with the credits regularly rolling over his enthusiastic dancing, often joined by Chuck, the celebrity judges, the stage hands, and whoever else felt like joining in. Usually Gong paddles, flowers, plastic fake food, stuffed animals and various other items were thrown on stage for good measure. He appeared in The Gong Show Movie 1980 and had some dialog. His attire usually consisted of a green windbreaker jacket, bell bottomed jeans, sneakers, a yellow polo shirt, and a black painter s hat. The genial heavy set man wore a green warm up outfit and often came onstage dancing to Milton DeLugg Milton Delugg s Band with a Thug while they played Count Basie s Jumpin at the Woodside tune. Gene had a cameo as himself in the film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind . After The Gong Show was cancelled, Patton remained a stagehand at NBC. He was recognized backstage at The Tonight Show in the 1990s. Patton lost both legs to complications from diabetes in 2001, and wears prosthetics and walks with a cane. ref http www.imdb.com name nm0666565 bio Gene Patton Biography Bot generated title ref References references cite news first Dave last Reardon title Patton just a part of an athletic Bunch url http ... 2007 01 19 Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .
