Three methods of plasmid delivery to mesophyll protoplasts ofNicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi have been evaluated. Specifically;a) chemically stimulated uptake of isolated plasmid, b) deliveryof plasmid encapsulated in liposomes, and c) fusion of plasmid-containingspheroplasts, were combined with divalent cation (Ca2+ and Mg2+)or polyalcohol [polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)] treatments. The quantity and quality of plasmid associatedwith intact protoplasts, was assessed by DNA-DNA blot hybridisationanalysis, following stringent washing to separate intact protoplastsfrom non-viable protoplasts and debris. Treatments which increasedassociation of plasmid with protoplasts decreased protoplastviability. Optimum association of plasmid with protoplasts,in the context of acceptable loss of viability, was achievedwhen protoplasts were interacted with either naked plasmid orliposomeencapsulated DNA in the presence of 15% w/v PEG 6000,or with Escherichia coli spheroplasts containing chloramphenicol-amplifiedplasmid in the presence of 25% w/v PEG 6000. Divalent cationsdid not stimulate significant plasmid delivery without unacceptableloss of protoplast viability. Strategies to further increasethe efficiency of plasmid delivery are discussed.

Summary Saishin (Brassica chinensis L.) mesophyll protoplasts and E. coli spheroplasts harbouring hybrid plasmid with tandemly dimerized cauliflower mosaic virus DNA were mixed in ratios of 1:1,000 and incubated for 20 min at 30° C in the presence of 20% polyvinyl alcohol. Subsequently, protoplasts/spheroplasts mixture was washed with high pH-high Ca buffer. After 3 days of culture, 8% of Saishin protoplasts were transfected as monitored by immunofluorescence technique. When plant protoplasts and bacterial spheroplasts were mixed in ratios of 1:100 or 1:2,000, 1% or 5% of protoplasts were transfected, respectively. 相似文献

Suspension cell protoplasts of albino Petunia hybrida have beentransformed by isolated Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid.Uptake of octopine Ti plasmid (pTiACH5) into protoplasts wasstimulated by poly-L-ornithine and polyethylene glycol (PEG).The frequency and efficiency of transformation of protoplaststo phytohormone autotrophy was compared using the two uptakeagents with various concentrations of plasmid. Transformationwas most efficient with PEG-mediated uptake, 5 µg of Tiplasmid per 106 protoplasts giving a frequency of 6?105.Octopine was not synthesised in any of the transformants afterthe second subculture on hormone-free medium. DNA-DNA hybridisationshowed the presence of DNA homologous to the T-DNA region ofpTiACH5 in all clones analysed. (Received November 9, 1981; Accepted January 29, 1982) 相似文献

Epicotyl-derived protoplasts of Psophocarpus tetragonolobuswere isolated and regenerated to plants. These protoplasts weretransformed to kanamycin resistance following uptake of plasmid(pABDl or pHP23) DNA in combination with PEG treatment. Protoplast-derivedtransformed colonies were selected on kanamycin (75 mg l1).The transformed calli expressed NPT II activity and also exhibitedthe presence of the plasmid gene integrated into the plant genome.However, none of the transformed clones showed regenerationof shoot buds.

A simple system is described for detection of the transfer ofT-DNA from Agrobacterium cells to suspension-cultured tobaccoBY-2 cells. A modified reporter gene for rß-glucuronidase(GUS) that contained an intron sequence was introduced intothe T-DNA region such that the GUS protein could be synthesizedin plant cells only after transfer of the T-DNA to plant nuclei.When BY-2 cells were co-cultured with Agrobacterium cells thatcontained the modified reporter gene, transient synthesis ofGUS protein was observed between 36 and 48 h after the onsetof co-culture. The level of GUS activity reached a plateau withinas little as 48 h. This temporal profile of GUS activation suggeststhat the transient activity might have been due to expressionof the GUS gene in the T-DNA that had been transferred to theplant nuclei but had not yet been integrated into the plantchromosomes. Levels of transient GUS activity were also examinedwith various vir mutants of Agrobacterium and in a mutant withan altered chromosomal acvB gene, the gene for a protein thathas been postulated to function outside bacterial cells. Duringco-culture with virB, virD2, virD4 and acvB mutants, GUS activityremained at background levels, and the GUS activity in the caseof the virE2 mutant was thirty-fold lower than with the wildtype. On the basis of these results, we discuss the roles ofthese genes during infection by Agrobacterium of plant cells.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, protoplasts from respiratory-deficient(rho) cytoplasmic mutant cells were transformed intorespiratory-sufficient (rho+) cells by incubation with mitochondriaprepared from rho+ cells in the presence of polyethylene glycoland CaCl2. Mitochondria prepared from different species, Hansenulawingei and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, also caused the transformationof S. cerevisiae rho protoplasts into the rho+ cellsas previously reported (14) The obtained transformants wereconfirmed to contain one nucleus and several mitochondrial DNAsby fluorescent staining of DNA. The transformants clearly restoredcytochromes a and b while untransformed recipient cells lackedthe cytochromes. In order to know the mechanism of the transformation,physiological measurement of endocytotic activity of protoplastsand cytological examination of mitochondria-protoplast aggregatesunder the transforming condition were performed. Protoplastshad significant endocytotic activity under this condition. Onthe other hand, fluorescence and electron microscopic observationsindicated that mitochondria forming aggregates with protoplastswere subsequently integrated into recipient protoplasts throughfusion rather than endocytosis. However, the possibility ofendocytosis could not be completely excluded when the low frequencyof the transformation (about 106 to 107) was takeninto account. This is discussed in this paper. A new convenientmethod for measuring endocytosis is also presented. (Received September 27, 1979; ) 相似文献

ß-Glucuronidase (GUS) and chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) were used as reporter proteins in protoplasts from embryogenic suspension cultures of Picea glauca (Moench) Voss (white spruce). Plasmid DNA enclosing chimeric GUS and CAT constructs, using the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, was introduced into Picea glauca protoplasts using polyethylene glycol (PEG). Transient expression was detected 12 to 40 h after PEG-mediated DNA delivery. Dose-response curves using covalently closed circular plasmid DNA, in the absence of carrier DNA, have been obtained for each of these reporter genes. Linearized plasmid DNA gave lower levels of expression than covalently closed circular plasmid DNA when assayed 40 h after PEG-mediated DNA transfer. The use of carrier DNA (herring sperm DNA), in combination with covalently closed circular plasmid DNA, increased the level of expression of GUS by about 50%. CAT expression was enhanced if PEG-mediated delivery was performed on ice rather than at room temperature. The highest level of expression for CAT, and the lowest signal-to-noise ratio, was found 24 h after PEG-mediated DNA transfer. Both GUS and CAT provided results that were quantifiable and can therefore be used as reporter genes in Picea glauca.Abbreviations CAT

Changes in transformability, regenerability, cell fusibilityand endocytotic activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast duringspheroplast conversion were investigated using the cell walldigesting enzyme Zymolylase. The transformability with plasmidDNA, cell fusibility and endocytotic activity all reached maximumat the critical spheroplast conversion period when about halfof the cells had been converted into spheroplasts. Lysosomotropicdrugs, chloroquine and dansylcadaverine enhanced transformationand endocytosis two- to threefold. This study showed that aclose relationship exists among transformability, cell fusingactivity and endocytotic activity of spheroplasts.

Transient gene expression systems using protoplasts have been widely used for rapid functional characterization of genes in many plant species. Brachypodium distachyon has recently been employed as a model plant for studies on biofuel grass species and grass crops because of its small genome size, short life-span, and availability of efficient transformation systems. Here, we report the an efficient protocol for the preparation of leaf mesophyll protoplasts from Brachypodium seedlings. We also modified the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation procedure to optimize experimental conditions, such as duration of enzyme digestion, PEG incubation time, and plasmid DNA concentration and size. The green fluorescence protein (GFP)- and ??-glucuronidase (GUS)-coding genes were used as reporters to evaluate the feasibility of this transient expression system. We found that the yield of viable protoplasts was highest after 3 h of enzymatic digestion. Viability of enzyme-digested protoplasts was moderately maintained up to 24 h in Mmg preincubation solution. In addition, the highest transient expression of reporter genes was obtained when protoplasts were transformed with 20 ??g of plasmid DNA and incubated for 16 h. Together with the recent completion of the Brachypodium genome sequence, the Brachypodium transient expression system using leaf mesophyll protoplasts can be widely used for cellular, molecular, and biochemical studies of genes involved in carbon metabolism and signaling pathways mediating intrinsic and environmental cues. 相似文献

Summary Interaction of Escherichia
coli spheroplasts with Neurospora
crassa slime cells was examined by transmission electron microscopy after treatment with polyvinyl alcohol followed by dilution with the high pH-high Ca buffer. Bacterial spheroplasts were found either adhering to the flat surface, associating with the invaginating surface, or residing within the intracellular vesicle of fungal protoplasts. In addition, bacterial spheroplasts free of the surrounding vesicles and those in the course of breakdown were observed in the fungal cytoplasm. It was concluded that Escherichia
coli spheroplasts are taken up by Neurospora
crassa protoplasts almost exclusively via endocytosis. This is the first cytological evidence for the endocytic activity of fungal cells. 相似文献

Membrane ghosts were prepared from protoplasts of the greenalga Mougeotia, and the Ca2+-sensitivity of microtubules onthe ghosts was examined. Microtubules on the protoplast ghosts were not depolymerizedby 3 min treatment with 1 mM Ca2+. As the treatment was prolonged,some depolymerization of microtubules became evident, but evenafter 10 min about 50% of the ghosts showed no depolymerization.Ca2+ introduced into intact protoplasts seemed to be ineffectivein depolymerizing microtubules; abundant microtubules were presenton membrane ghosts prepared from protoplasts which had beentreated with 2x105M Ca2+-ionophore A23187
[GenBank] plus 1 mM Ca2+for 20 or 30 min. Neither 3 min treatment with 0.2% Triton X-100 nor with 1 mMCa2+ solution containing 5 min MgSO4 and 100 mM KCl caused depolymerisationof microtubules on protoplast ghosts. However, when given successively,these treatments caused complete depolymerization of microtubules. These results suggest that Mougeotia microtubules are stableto Ca2+ and that the stability is conferred by a microtubule-associatedfactor which can easily be removed by Triton X-100 treatment.

L-Leucine Transport in Isolated Protoplasts of Vinca Suspension Culture: Characterization of Uptake 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The uptake of L-leucine into Vinca protoplasts was studied undervarious conditions. The uptake was highly pH-dependent, withthe optimal pH between 3.0 and 4.0. The uptake was also energydependent, since azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), carbonyl cyanidem-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP), and iodoacetate inhibited theuptake. Oligomycin, N,N'-dicycIohexyI carbodiimide (DCCD) andvanadate, but not ouabain, inhibited the uptake, suggestingthat ATPase for H+ electrogenic extrusion was necessary to theuptake of L-leucine. The uptake showed stereospecificity, butwas partially inhibited by other L-amino acids. A kinetic studyof the uptake showed that the uptake was multiphasic with threesaturable phases and one unsaturable phase which occurred atconcentrations of L-leucine over 1 mM. The Km values of thethree affinity sites were 1.4 x 103 M, 1.3 x 104M, 4.3 x 105 M; the maximum velocity values were 3.3x 108, 4.5 x 109, 1.8 x 109 mol/10 min/4x 106 cells.

Spheroplasts from respiratory-deficient (rho) yeastswere transformed into rho+ cells by incubation with mitochondriaprepared from respiratory-sufficient (rho+) yeasts in the presenceof polyethylene glycol 4000 and CaCl2. Spheroplasts of buddingyeast rho strains were also transformed into rho+ cellsby treatment with mitochondria prepared from heterospecificbudding or fission yeast strains. All the transformed regeneratantsyielded rho+ yeast colonies which bore chromosomal genetic characteristicsof the spheroplasts used and cytoplasmic genetic characteristicsof the mitochondria used. These indicate that mitochondrialgenes or mitochondria themselves introduced by the incubationfunctioned normally in the rho cells regardless of thespecies difference of the recipient spheroplasts.

Electroporation was used to evaluate parameters affecting transient gene expression in Glycine max protoplasts. Protoplast viability and reporter enzyme activity for chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) and ß-glucuronidase (GUS) depended on the field strength employed. Maximum CAT and GUS activity was obtained when a field strength of 500 V/cm at 1000 F and a protoplast concentration of 1–3 × 106/ml was used. Transformation efficiencies up to approximately 1.6% GUS positive protoplasts were obtained. Transient gene expression increased with increasing plasmid DNA concentration and with the time after electroporation, reaching a maximum after 48 hr. Addition of polyethylene glycol at 5.6% and heat shock (5 rain at 45 °C) given to the protoplasts before adding DNA further enhanced the transformation efficiency. Under the optimized experimental conditions, CAT and GUS activity increased simultaneously, thereby indicating that the increased expression is caused by DNA uptake by more cells rather than greater DNA uptake by the same cells. Our results demonstrate that both GUS and CAT can be used as efficient screenable markers for transformation studies in soybean.Abbreviations CAT

The Influences of Two Plant Nuclear Matrix Attachment Regions (MARs) on Gene Expression in Transgenic Plants 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Nuclear matrix attachment regions (MARs) are thought to influencegene expression by anchoring active chromatin to the proteinaceousnuclear matrix. In this study, two plant DNA fragments withstrong MAR activity were selected and tested for their effectson expression of a linked reporter gene in transgenic tobacco.One MAR was isolated from the 5' flanking region of a pea vicilingene previously reported to be expressed in a copy number-dependentmanner in transgenic tobacco. A second MAR was isolated fromthe genome of Arabidopsis thaliana by preselection for autonomouslyreplicating sequence (ARS) activity in yeast. Flanking copiesof the A. thaliana MAR stimulated median reporter gene expressionin transgenic plants by five to ten fold. Neither MAR significantlyreduced the variation in transgene expression between individualtransformants, or conferred copy number-dependence in gene expression.

A Cd-resistant strain of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strain30IN) accumulated Cd with the concomitant synthesis of a Cd-bindingprotein of low molecular weight when grown in Cd2+-containingmedium. Analysis of the amino acid composition, N-terminal sequenceand immunological properties of the protein revealed its structuralhomology to Cu-metallothionein (Cu-MT) in S. cerevisiae 2186,a Cu-resistant strain of yeast (Winge et al. 1985). The synthesisof MT in Cu-resistant strains of yeast is known to be underthe strict control of Cu2+ ions, while that in 301N was inducedboth by Cd2+ and Cu2+ ions. When 301N was precultured for 48h in the presence of 1 mM CuSO4, its resistance to Cu2+ andthe synthesis of MT in response to Cu2+ were enhanced whileanalogous responses to Cd2+ were conversely reduced. These resultssuggest that the synthesis of MT is controlled by Cd2+ and Cu2+in a counteractive manner in strain 301N and, therefore, theregulation of the synthesis of MT plays a role in the adaptationof this strain to conditions when either metal is present.
