Analysis of the Flanking Sequence and EventSpecific Detection of Transgenic Line W-4 of Brassica napus

转基因油菜W-4T-DNA旁侧序列分析与事件特异性检测(英文)

The genetically modified high-oleic rapeseed （Brassica napus L.） line W-4 was obtained by transforming a binary vector which harbored an inverted repeat expression cassette of fad2 gene into the rapeseed cultivar Westar.The transformation was mediated by Agrobacterium.The flanking sequences to both the left and right borders of T-DNA insertion site were amplified by thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR （TAIL-PCR） from the genomic DNA of the transgenic rapeseed line W-4.The flanking sequences to the right border was 290 bp in length and the nucleotide composition was 31.27％ for G＋C content while 68.73％ for A＋T content.The flanking sequence to the left border was 365 bp in length and the G＋C content was 32.6％ and the A＋T content was 67.4％,indicating that the T-DNA was integrated in the A/T-rich region.Further more,sequence alignment analysis showed a deletion of 62 bp including the right border of pCNFIRnos and the integration of the whole left border except a change of G to A.That was to say,the integration of the T-DNA in the transgenic line W-4 not involved in the vector sequences.Based on both flanking sequences as well as the left and right borders of the T-DNA sequences,two pairs of specific primers TLF/TLR and TRF/TRR were designed.Using the primers the event-specific PCR detection method for transgenic rapeseed line W-4 was established.By the PCR,two fragments of 485 and 405 bp were amplified from the W-4 genomic DNA as expected,while no products were amplified from the genomic DNA of other transgenic rapeseed lines and non-transgenic rapeseed line.And by the PCR it is possible to detect the W-4 genomic DNA from a mixed sample of genomic DNA.The limit of the detection for the qualitative PCR assay was 0.1％.The method developed in this work is highly specific,sensitive and suitable for event-specific detection of the transgenic rapeseed line W-4.

W-4是通过农杆菌介导法将fad2基因的反向重复序列表达框转入甘蓝型油菜Westar后获得的转基因高油酸油菜品系。为建立W-4的转基因事件特异性PCR检测技术,应用温度不对称PCR(TAIL-PCR)扩增获得转基因油菜W-4的T-DNA插入位点的左、右旁侧序列。其中右边界旁侧序列长度为290 bp,其碱基组成G+C含量为31.27%、A+T含量为68.73%;左边界旁侧序列长度为365 bp,其碱基组成G+C含量为32.6%、A+T含量为67.4%,表明该T-DNA整合在富含AT区。序列比对结果发现,该转基因事件中,T-DNA左边界序列完全整合到油菜基因组中,仅有1个碱基由G转换成了A。而右边界则缺失了包括RB border在内的62个碱基。结果表明:转基因高油酸油菜T-DNA的整合是一次无载体序列的整合。依据左、右边界旁侧序列和转基因载体的T-DNA左右边界序列设计了2对特异性引物TLF/TLR和TRF/TRR,能从W-4基因组DNA中扩增出大小分别为485和405 bp的预期产物,而在其他转基因油菜、非转基因油菜的基因组DNA和空白对照中均无特异性扩增产物,据此建立了W-4的转基因事件特异性PCR检测技术。应用该检测技术可以从含有0.1%W-4基因组DNA的混合样品中扩增出特异产物,检测灵敏度达0.1%。可对W-4的转基因事件进行特异性检测。
