ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to secretory gene trap vectors and methods of using such vectors to isolate extracellular proteins and to make cells and organisms with mutant secretory genes. The vectors encode a type II transmembrane domain and a secretory lumen -sensitive indicator marker and optionally, a selectable marker and an exon-splice acceptor site. The gene isolation methods involve stably introducing the secretory trap vectors into an endogenous gene whereby the expression of the resultant fusion protein provides a differential expression of the indicator marker depending on whether the endogenous gene provides an N-terminal signal sequence.
