Expression and antimicrobial activity analysis of dermaseptin B1 recombinant peptides in tobacco transgenic plants
Recently, new molecular breeding and genetic engineering approaches have emerged to overcome the limitations of conventional breeding methods in generating disease-resistance transgenic plants. The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to produce transgenic plants resistant to a wide range of plant pathogens has achieved great success. Among huge number of AMPs, Dermaseptin B1 (DrsB1), an antimi...
متن کاملAssaying Chimeric Genes in Plants: The GUS Gene Fusion System
DeJi~eitio, r Ge~e lrlt.~irm Much of tile attention and interest in modern molecular biology is fi~cussed on the regulation of gene expression. Factors influencing or mediating such regulation are often best studied using gene Alsions. Gene fusions can be defined its DNA constructions (perfi3rmed ill vitro or i~e Hvo) that result in the coding sequences from one gene (r@o,ter) being transcribed...
متن کاملExpression of a Fusion Protein Consisting of Cholera Toxin B Subunit and an Anti-Diabetic Peptide (p277) from Human Heat Shock Protein in Transgenic Tobacco Plants
A DNA construct encoding cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) and an anti-diabetic peptide from human heat shock protein 60 (hsp60) as a fusion protein was produced and transferred into low-nicotine tobacco through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Integration of the fusion gene into the plant genome was confirmed by PCR. The transcriptional expression of the fusion gene was demonstrated by RTPCR...
متن کاملTransgenic Tobacco Plants and Histochemical Localization of Its Expression
The 5' region of the wound-inducible gene wunl, derived from potato, has been sequenced and analyzed for cisacting elements important in controlling gene expression in transgenic tobacco plants. Different 5' deletion fragments were linked to the reporter gene B-glucuronidase (GUS) as transcriptional fusions, and the expression of these chimeric genes was analyzed in leaf tissue. Sequences 11 1 ...
متن کاملExpression and Immunogenicity of the Mycobacterial Ag85B/ESAT-6 Antigens Produced in Transgenic Plants by Elastin-Like Peptide Fusion Strategy
This study explored a novel system combining plant-based production and the elastin-like peptide (ELP) fusion strategy to produce vaccinal antigens against tuberculosis. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the mycobacterial antigens Ag85B and ESAT-6 fused to ELP (TBAg-ELP) were generated. Purified TBAg-ELP was obtained by the highly efficient, cost-effective, inverse transition cycling (ICT) m...
