The green fluorescent protein gene functions as a reporter of gene expression in Phanerochaete chrysosporium

The enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene (egfp) was used as a reporter of gene expression driven by the glyceraldehyde-p-dehydrogenase (gpd) gene promoter and the manganese peroxidase isozyme 1 (mnp1) gene promoter in Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Four different constructs were prepared. pUGGM3' and pUGiGM3' contain the P. chrysosporium gpd promoter fused upstream of the egfp coding region, and pUMGM3' and pUMiGM3' contain the P. chrysosporium mnp1 promoter fused upstream of the egfp gene. In all constructs, the egfp gene was followed by the mnp1 gene 3' untranslated region. In pUGGM3' and pUMGM3', the promoters were fused directly with egfp, whereas in pUGiGM3' and pUMiGM3', following the promoters, the first exon (6 bp), the first intron (55 bp), and part of the second exon (9 bp) of the gpd gene were inserted at the 5' end of the egfp gene. All constructs were ligated into a plasmid containing the ura1 gene of Schizophyllum commune as a selectable marker and were used to transform a Ural1 auxotrophic strain of P. chrysosporium to prototrophy. Crude cell extracts were examined for GFP fluorescence, and where appropriate, the extracellular fluid was examined for MnP activity. The transformants containing a construct with an intron 5' of the egfp gene (pUGiGM3' and pUMiGM3') exhibited maximal fluorescence under the appropriate conditions. The transformants containing constructs with no introns exhibited minimal or no fluorescence. Northern (RNA) blots indicated that the insertion of a 5' intron resulted in more egfp RNA than was found in transformants carrying an intronless egfp. These results suggest that the presence of a 5' intron affects the expression of the egfp gene in P. chrysosporium. The expression of GFP in the transformants carrying pUMiGM3' paralled the expression of endogenous mnp with respect to nitrogen and Mn levels, suggesting that this construct will be useful in studying cis-acting elements in the mnp1 gene promoter.     

Transformation of Metarhizium anisopliae mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

A simple, highly efficient, and reliable Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method was developed for the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. Expression of the green fluorescent protein gene, egfp, and the benomyl resistance gene, benA3, were used as markers in transformed M. anisopliae. Transformation efficiencies were dependent on the strain of A. tumefaciens used. With strain AGL-1, 17.0 +/- 1.4 transformants per plate could be obtained using conidial concentrations of 10(6) conidia/mL and a 2 day co-cultivation in the presence of 200 micromol/L acetosyringone. On the other hand, transformations using strain LBA4404 were unsuccessful. Ten transformants were tested by Southern analysis and found to contain a single copy T-DNA. Twenty transformants were subcultured for five generations on nonselective media, and 95% of the transformants were mitotically stable. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of M. anisopliae can serve as a useful tool to investigate genes involved in insect pathogenicity.     

Agrobactrium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Monascus ruber

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) was successfully applied to Monascus ruber. The optimum cocultivation time was 84 h with an efficiency of 900 to 1,000 transformants when 1x106 spores were used with the same volume of bacteria. The stability of transformants was over 98% after five generations. When M. ruber was transformed with A. tumefaciens YL-63 containing the green fluorescent protein gene (egfp), the green fluorescent signal was observed throughout hyphae, confirming expression of the gene. This efficient transformation and expression system of M. ruber by ATMT will facilitate the study of this fungus at a molecular genetic level.     

Research note: High efficiency transformation of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum with a promoter from the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis

A high efficiency transformation system was established for the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin using a plasmid containing fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c binding protein ( fcp ) promoter/terminator and nitrate reductase ( NR ) promoter/terminator that are derived from the pennate diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis . The plasmid that contains the zeocin resistance gene ( ble ) with the fcp promoter and enhanced green fluorescent protein gene ( egfp ) with the NR promoter was introduced into P. tricornutum using microparticle bombardment. Transformants (650 ± 58 per 10⁸ cells) were obtained. The yield of transformants was between 1.5 and 130 times higher than previously reported P. tricornutum transformation systems. Four to seven copies of the ble gene were integrated into genomic DNA of the transformants. This high efficiency transformation system of P. tricornutum is expected to provide a powerful tool for high-throughput analysis of gene function using homologous recombination or RNAi.     

Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation of marine microalgae Schizochytrium

Schizochytrium was a known docosahexaenoic acid producing marine microalgae. In this study, we have developed a novel transformation approach of Schizochytrium using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A. tumefaciens) binary vector system. After co-cultivation of Schizochytrium protoplasts with A. tumefaciens harboring pCAMBIA2301 containing the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPT II) gene as the selectable marker which confers resistance to G418, the Schizochytrium transformants were successfully obtained on the G418-containing plates. The integration and expression of the transgenes were confirmed by PCR analysis and GUS activity assay. To further validate the transformation system, pCAMBIA2301-EGFP containing the egfp gene was introduced into Schizochytrium. The following results demonstrated that the exogenous egfp gene has been successfully incorporated into the genome of Schizochytrium. In addition, the introduced egfp gene expressed efficiently according to the Western blot and fluorescence assay results. More importantly, the majority of the transformants displayed similar biomass and fatty acid production comparing with the wild type strain. Our results demonstrated that exogenous genes could be expressed efficiently in transgenic Schizochytrium, suggesting that genetically engineered Schizochytrium could be explored by this system.

Transformation by complementation of a uracil auxotroph of the hyper lignin-degrading basidiomycete Phanerochaete sordida YK-624

Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 is a hyper lignin-degrading basidiomycete possessing greater ligninolytic selectivity than either P. chrysosporium or Trametes versicolor. To construct a gene transformation system for P. sordida YK-624, uracil auxotrophic mutants were generated using a combination of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and 5-fluoroorotate resistance as a selection scheme. An uracil auxotrophic strain (UV-64) was transformed into a uracil prototroph using the marker plasmid pPsURA5 containing the orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene from P. sordida YK-624. This system generated approximately 50 stable transformants using 2 × 10⁷ protoplasts. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that the transformed pPsURA5 was ectopically integrated into the chromosomal DNA of all transformants. The enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene was also introduced into UV-64. The transformed EGFP was expressed in the co-transformants driven by P. sordida glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene promoter and terminator regions.     

An improved method for Beauveria bassiana transformation using phosphinothricin acetlytransferase and green fluorescent protein fusion gene as a selectable and visible marker

An improved transformation method for the biocontrol agent, Beauveria bassiana, was developed. For convenience of transformation selection and detection, the coding regions of the genes for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase and green fluorescent protein were fused and an expression vector, pBFT, carrying this fusion was constructed. Under optimum conditions, over 60 transformants microg(-1) plasmid DNA were obtained. B. bassiana conidia frozen 1 month at -80 degrees C were fully competent for transformation. The method was significantly less laborious and more rapid than current methods for B. bassiana. The bar::egfp provides a selectable and visible marker which may expedite future genetic engineering of this fungus.     

Transformation of Bacillus thuringiensis by electroporation

Plasmids were transformed by electroporation into various strains of Bacillus thuringiensis with frequencies of up to 10(5) transformants/micrograms. pC 194 transformed all strains tested at a high frequency and cells could be stably transformed with pC194 and pUB110 simultaneously by electroporation with a frequency of 10(2) pC194+ pUB110 transformants/micrograms DNA. Low transformation frequencies observed with some plasmids, especially those grown initially in Escherichia coli, could be increased by passage through B. thuringiensis, B. thuringiensis var. israelensis and in acrystalliferous mutant of the same strain transformed at frequencies of 10(4)-10(5)/micrograms DNA with most of the plasmids tested. A cloned israelensis 27-kDa delta-endotoxin gene was introduced into the israelensis acrystalliferous mutant and a kurstaki acrystalliferous mutant by electroporation. Both transformants were shown to express the endotoxin gene and to be toxic to Aedes aegypti larvae.
