Suppression of an atypically spliced rice CACTA transposon transcript in transgenic plants.

چکیده
OsES1, a rice homolog of the maize En/Spm transposon, is transcribed to produce TnpA-like and TnpD-like transcripts. However, an alternatively spliced form of the TnpA-like transcript, which was found to be suppressed in transgenic plants, was revealed to be due to atypical splicing of a Hipa-like CACTA transposon.

Enhancement of foreign gene expression by a dicot intron in rice but not in tobacco is correlated with an increased level of mRNA and an efficient splicing of the intron.
The first intron of castor bean catalase gene, cat-1 was placed in the N-terminal region of the coding sequence of the beta-glucuronidase gene (gusA) and the intron-containing gusA was used with the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. Using this plasmid, pIG221, the effect of the intron on expression of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) activity was examined in transgenic rice calli and plants...
متن کاملEfficient generation of marker-free transgenic rice plants using an improved transposon-mediated transgene reintegration strategy.
Marker-free transgenic plants can be developed through transposon-mediated transgene reintegration, which allows intact transgene insertion with defined boundaries and requires only a few primary transformants. In this study, we improved the selection strategy and validated that the maize (Zea mays) Activator/Dissociation (Ds) transposable element can be routinely used to generate marker-free t...
متن کاملA one-time inducible transposon for terminating selectable markers in transgenic plants
Since the maize transposon Ac can relocate to a new location within the genome, it has been used in removing selectable markers in transgenic plants. We previously developed an inducible transposon system to truncate a selectable marker in transgenic plants by locating one end of the transposon in the intron of the marker gene (glyphosate tolerant epsps gene). We have now improved upon this sys...
متن کاملEpigenetic control of CACTA transposon mobility in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Epigenetic mutation, heritable developmental variation not based on a change in nucleotide sequence, is widely reported in plants. However, the developmental and evolutionary significance of such mutations remains enigmatic. On the basis of our studies of the endogenous Arabidopsis transposon CACTA, we propose that the inheritance of epigenetic gene silencing over generations can function as a ...
متن کاملConstruction and application of efficient Ac-Ds transposon tagging vectors in rice.
Transposons are effective mutagens alternative to T-DNA for the generation of insertional mutants in many plant species including those whose transformation is inefficient. The current strategies of transposon tagging are usually slow and labor-intensive and yield low frequency of tagged lines. We have constructed a series of transposon tagging vectors based on three approaches: (i) AcTPase con...
