✦ Synopsis


A new fast and reliable approach for construction of concatemeric synthetic genes is described. The method consists of shotgun polymerization of three truncated monomeric gene units using a specific linker, followed by cloning of the recombinant clones and screening them for the presence of concatemeric genes of defined length. The method is illustrated by constructing a series of tandemly repeated human calcitonin (hCT) genes.

A synthetic gene for the human motilin receptor containing 33 unique restriction sites was designed and stably coexpressed in HEK293 cells with the bioluminescent Ca 2Ψ‰ indicator protein aequorin. The dosedependent response of the receptor to motilin was demonstrated using transient transfections, a
