abstract

background molecular farming is the production of important recombinant proteins in transgenic organisms on an agricultural scale. interferons are proteins with antiviral and antitumor activities and can be used for viral infections and cancers treatments. objectives this study reports the transformation of inf α2b gene in tobacco plant for the first time in iran. materials and methods interferon α2b gene was amplified by pcr using specific primers containing appropriate restriction enzymes, plant highly expression sequence and histidine tag sequence. target sequence was cloned in plant expression vector pcambia1304 and the construct named pcaminfα. pcaminfα was transferred to e. coli strain dh5α and plated on lb agar medium containing kanamycin 50 mgl-1. the colonies were confirmed by colony pcr and sequencing. the construct was transferred into agrobacterium tumefaciens by freeze-thaw method and transformed colonies were confirmed by colony pcr. tobacco plants (cultivar xanthi) were inoculated with a. tumefaciens strain lba4404 by leaf disc method. inoculated explants were cultured on msii (ms + bap 1mgl-1 + naa 0.1 mgl-1) at 28°c and darkness for 48 hours. then explants were transferred to selection medium containing cephotaxime (250 mgl-1) and hygromycin (15 mgl-1) in a 16/8 (day/night) h photoperiod in growth room with an irradiance of 5000 lux. transgenic plants were regenerated and transferred to perlite. genomic dna was extracted from regenerated plants by dellaporta method at 5-leaf step and transgenic lines were confirmed by pcr with specific primers. expression of interferon α2b gene was confirmed by dot blotting. conclusions since no report of interferon alpha production in plants in iran has been expressed yet, this research could create a field of producing this drug in tobacco, in iran.

Nucleotide Sequence of the Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi Gene Encoding 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Synthase.

Ethylene is a plant hormone that influences many aspects of plant growth and development (10). The biosynthetic pathway of ethylene production in higher plants is well defined. The rate-limiting step in this pathway is the reaction catalyzed by ACC' synthase (S-adenosyl-L-methionine methyl-thioadenosine-lyase, EC 4.4.1.4), which converts Sadenosyl-L-methionine to ACC. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum...

High-Efficiency Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)

To improve Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tobacco, factors influencing gene delivery, including genotype of the plant, bacterial strain, and Agrobacterium transformation procedure, were tested via direct somatic embryogenesis. Leaf tissue of three different tobacco genotypes (Nicotiana tabacum L. cvs. Samsun, and Xanthi, and N. benthamiana) we...

CLONING AND EXPRESSION OF A HUMAN INTERFERON a2 GENE IN E. COLI

The plasmid pALCA1SIFN containing cDNA that encodes the human interferon a-2b was obtained from the ATCC(no. 531667). In this system the expression of the gene is under the control of an alcA promoter. alcA p is a specific promoter for expression of different genes in Aspergillusfilamentous. In this plasmid the coding region of IFN?-2b is preceded by the coding region of a synthetic signal ...

Expression of a heat stable phytase from Aspergillus fumigatus in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. NC89).

Aspergillus fumigatus contains a heat-stable phytase of great potential. To determine whether this phytase could be expressed in plants as a functional enzyme, we introduced the phytase gene from A. fumigatus (fphyA) in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. NC89) by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Phytase expression was controlled by the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. Secretio...

Codon optimization and cloning of bovine prochymosin gene for proper expression in tobacco plant

Bovine chymosin enzyme is one of the most commonly used enzymes in the dairy industry. The production of this enzyme from its natural source does not meet the needs of this huge industry. The production of recombinant bovine chymosin in plants can be a good alternative to native enzyme. Insertion and expression of foreign genes in plants can occur in the nucleus and chloroplast organelles. The ...
