Construction of Plant Expression Vector for Hand,Foot and Mouth Virus EV71-VP1 Gene and Its Expression in Tomato

EV71-type virus is one of the main pathogens causing the occurrence of hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD),and VP1 protein,a factor that directly determines the antigenicity of the virus,has been isolated.The tomato was selected as a bioreactor for the production of an edible EV71 vaccine designed for the VP1 capsid protein.Using molecular biology techniques,the fusion gene EV71-VP1 was cut from vector PGEX-4T-2,a vector containing the p2300-EV71 gene with CaMV35S promoter and TL regulatory elements was constructed,and the hypocotyl and cotyledons of tomato were transformed using Agrobacterium(EHA105)-mediated method,screened,elongated and rooted,and finally 20 resistant tomato plants were obtained.Five transgenic positive seedlings were obtained by digestion and PCR assay,among which three plants were detected by RT-PCR to be capable of transcriptional translation at the RNA level.The experimental results aimed to explore new material support for the preparation of transgenic plant oral vaccines against EV71 infection and provide a theoretical basis for accelerating the development of transgenic plant vaccines in the future.

Cloning of a flower-specific expression promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana and its plant expression vector construction

Given the sequence of Chs gene promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana reported in GenBank （AF248988）, a pair of specific PCR primers was designed with the Primer Premier 5.0 software. PCR products of about 0.5 kb were successfully amplified with the genome DNA of A. thaliana as a DNA template and Taq polymerase as DNA polymerase. The purified PCR products were ligated to the pMD18-T vector. The sequencing result showed that the Chs promoter from A. thaliana was 531 bp long. Sequence alignment analysis based on the DNAMAN software revealed that the sequence similarity between the cloned promoter and target promoter （AF248988） was up to 100%. Online PLACE analysis indicated that the Chs promoter contained cis-elements such as TATA-box, CAAT-box, pollen-box, G-box, ACGT-containing element, R response element, Myb recognition element and TACPyAT-box. At the same time, a plant expression vectorpAtChs：：GUS which fused the Chs promoter and the marker gene GUS was successfully constructed.

Brucella spp. are pathogenic to humans and domestic animal. Nowadays,there is no effective vaccine and control strategy in China. So,it is necessary to research effective vaccines for prevention and treatment of this disease. In order to deal with these,we isolated and identified the type of Brucella in Darhan Muminggan Joint Banner and Siziwang Banner of Inner Mongolia.

The BP26 gene was cloned into vector p ET24a( +) and conducted sequence analysis. The BP26 gene was 900 bp,with an open reading frame of 753 bp. The homology of BP26 gene with the vaccine strain M5 was 100%,and that with S2 and A19 vaccine strains was 99. 99%. These finding supported the development of BP26-based specific serodiagnostic test and vaccine for B. melitensis in China.

Xylem-specific promoter could regulate efficient expression of foreign genes in xylem. Deletion analysis method was applied to obtain 5＇ deletion promoter fragments MU2 andMU4 with different distances from transcription start site of xylem-specific promoter MDCcsAP through PCR procedure.

The results of the tobacco transient transformation test showed that MU2 andMU4 had the promoter function, and both of their activity were significantly higher than that of CaMV35S promoter, and they had the characteristics of xylem tissue specificity as well. Research on xy- lem-specific promoter structure and function could lay a foundation for the determination of necessary components to the xylem tissue specificity and cis-acting ele- ments with induction activity, so as to enable the regulation of efficient expression of exogenous genes in specific time and specific tissues in plants through these cis-acting elements.
