 【目的】通过构建能够在植物生长发育阶段经乙醇诱导将选择标记基因删除的载体,消除选择标记基因带来的潜在安全隐患。【方法】利用AlcR/alcA诱导系统和Cre/loxP位点特异性重组系统删除选择标记基因。当外源诱导物乙醇存在时,激活下游Cre的表达。Cre重组酶识别2个同向loxP位点,剔除位点之间的DNA片段,包括选择标记基因、AlcR/alcA系统和Cre/loxP系统,而目的基因gus在诱导前后均为组成型表达。【结果】拟南芥转基因植株受乙醇诱导严格控制Cre表达的“开”和“关”。经诱导的转基因植株不能在选择培养基上继续生长。分子生物学检测显示,2个同向loxP位点间序列均已删除,表明标记基因删除效果明显。【结论】基于AlcR/alcA和Cre/loxP系统的标记基因诱导删除体系切实可行,有广泛的应用前景。     

Copper-Controllable, Site-Specific DNA Excision in Transgenic Plants

A copper-inducible, Cre-loxP recombination-mediated DNA excision system has been developed in transgenic tobacco plants. The copper inducible system derived from yeast was used for the control of the expression of the Cre recombinase. Upon copper induction, the GUS reporter gene expression unit flanked by two direct lox sites was excised from the transgenic tobacco genome. Quantitative fluorometric GUS assays,Northern blot and PCR analyses showed a high-efficient, copper-dependent and Cre-loxP mediated DNA recombination in all the tested transgenic lines. The copper inducible foreign gene excision might be of great potential in genetic control of transgenic crops.

Construction of Marker-Free GFP Transgenic Tobacco by Cre/Iox Site-Specific Recombination System

Marker-free GFP transgenic tobacco plants were constructed based on Cre/lox site-specific recombination system. A GFP gene was introduced into the tobacco genome using the Bar gene as a linked selectable marker flanked by recombination sites in a directed orientation. The Bar gene expression box was subsequently excised from the plant genome by a strategy of Cre gene retransformation. After removal of the Cre-NPT Ⅱ locus by genetic segregation through self-cross, plants that incorporated only the GFP transgene were obtained. Transgenic tobacco plants mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens were obtained, which resisted herbicide Basta and GFP expressed well, then the Cre gene was subsequently introduced into 5 plants of them, respectively, by retransformation. The leaf disks from Cre transgenic plants were used to test the resistance to Basta on the medium with 8 mg L-1 of PPT. The results showed that few discs were able to regenerate normally, and the excision at 76-100% efficiency depended on individual retransformation events. Evidence for a precise recombination event was confirmed by cloning the nucleotides sequence surrounding the lox sites of the Basta sensitive plants. The result indicated that the excision event in the recombination sites was precise and conservative, without loss or alteration of any submarginal nucleotides of the recombination sites. Bar gene excised plants were selfpollinated to allow segregation of the GFP gene from the Cre-NPT Ⅱ locus. The progenies from self-pollinated plants were scored for Kan senstivity, then the segregation of GFP gene from Cre-NPT Ⅱ locus in the Kan senstive plants were confirmed by PCR analysis subsequently. Hence, constructing marker-free transgenic tobacco plants by Cre/lox sitespecific recombination system was reliable, and the strategy presented here should be applicable to other plants for the construction of marker-free transgenic plants as well.

VirB/D4-dependent protein translocation from Agrobacterium into plant cells

The Agrobacterium VirB/D4 transport system mediates the transfer of a nucleoprotein T complex into plant cells, leading to crown gall disease. In addition, several Virulence proteins must somehow be transported to fulfill a function in planta.

Transport of the proteins was monitored by a Cre-mediated in planta recombination event resulting in a selectable phenotype and depended on the VirB/D4 transport system but did not require transferred DNA.
