We developed a new series of binary vectors useful for Gateway cloning to facilitate transgenic experiments in plant biotechnology. The new system, Gateway Binary Vectors (pGWBs) realized efficient cloning, constitutive expression using the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and the construction of fusion genes by simple clonase reaction with an entry clone. The reporters employable in this system are beta-glucuronidase (GUS), synthetic green fluorescent protein with S65T mutation (sGFP), luciferase (LUC), enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP), and enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP). The tags available are 6xHis, FLAG, 3xHA, 4xMyc, 10xMyc, GST, T7-epitope, and tandem affinity purification (TAP). In total, 13 kinds of reporter or tag were arranged and were almost applicable to both N- and C-fusions. The pGWBs could be used for many purposes, such as promoter::reporter analysis, observation of subcellular localization by the expression of proteins fused to a reporter or tag, and analysis of protein-protein interaction by copurification and immunodetection experiments. The pGWBs were constructed with modified pBI101 containing a CaMV35S promoter-driven hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) gene as the second selection marker. We also constructed pGWBs with the marker HPT driven by the nopaline synthase promoter. By using the pGWB system, the expression of tagged proteins, and the localization of GFP-fused proteins were easily analyzed. Moreover, tissue-specific and inducible gene expression using a promoter was also monitored with pGWBs. It is expected that, the pGWB system will serve as a powerful tool for plasmid construction in plant research.
我们开发了一系列新的二元载体,用于Gateway克隆,以促进植物生物技术中的转基因实验。新系统“Gateway二元载体(pGWBs)”实现了高效克隆,利用花椰菜花叶病毒(CaMV)35S启动子进行组成型表达,并通过与入门克隆的简单酶切反应构建融合基因。该系统可用的报告基因有β-葡萄糖醛酸酶(GUS)、具有S65T突变的合成绿色荧光蛋白(sGFP)、荧光素酶(LUC)、增强型黄色荧光蛋白(EYFP)和增强型青色荧光蛋白(ECFP)。可用的标签有6xHis、FLAG、3xHA、4xMyc、10xMyc、GST、T7表位和串联亲和纯化(TAP)。总共安排了13种报告基因或标签,几乎适用于N端和C端融合。pGWBs可用于多种目的,如启动子::报告基因分析、通过表达与报告基因或标签融合的蛋白质观察亚细胞定位,以及通过共纯化和免疫检测实验分析蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。pGWBs是用含有CaMV35S启动子驱动的潮霉素磷酸转移酶(HPT)基因作为第二个选择标记的改良pBI101构建的。我们还构建了由胭脂碱合成酶启动子驱动标记HPT的pGWBs。通过使用pGWB系统,可以轻松分析标签蛋白的表达以及GFP融合蛋白的定位。此外,还可以用pGWBs监测使用启动子的组织特异性和诱导型基因表达。预计pGWB系统将成为植物研究中质粒构建的有力工具。
