Transformation Methods

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the economically important crops in Southeastern Asia and also grows in USA. Genetic transformation of mung bean has been achieved using an Agrobacterium -mediated transformation system. Two transformation methods were used in this study. With the leaf-disk transformation method, freshly cut leaf strips from young seedlings of mungbean were co-cultivated for 72 hours with either a wild-type A. rhizogenes strain 11325 or the strain containing an additional binary vector carrying the npt gene. In another method, agrobacteria were applied to wounded hypocotyls of aseptically germinated seedlings. After infection, the explants were placed on shoot induction medium. Within 3-4 weeks, shoots developed from the edges of leaf disks as well as from the inoculated sites on hypocotyls. Putatively transformed shoots were selected in vitro based on their ability to root in the kanamycin-containing medium. The npt gene fragment and a-few of T-DNA fragments from the wild-type Ri plasmid were detected in regenerated mungbean plants by Southern blot analysis. These results suggested that foreign DNAs from both the Ri plasmid and the binary vector had integrated into the genome of mung bean. These transformation systems for mung bean can now be used to introduce agronomically desirable traits into this crop for its genetic improvement.

Background: Tong-Bi-Si-Wei-Fang (TBSWF) is a candidate formula of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for treating rheumatoid bone diseases, which is composed of rhizoma corydalis alkaloids, saponins of glycyrrhiza uralensis and panax notoginseng, flavonoids of rhizoma drynariae and glycyrrhiza uralensis. </P><P> Objective: Trahydropalmatine (THP), the main active ingredient of rhizoma corydalis alkaloids, was selected to study in vivo pharmacokinetics and druggability of TBSWF. Methods: The plasma concentration-time (C-T) profiles of THP and the pharmacokinetic property parameters after oral administration of THP monomer, extract of corydalis alkaloids (ECA) and TBSWF to rats, respectively were compared by a fully-validated HPLC method. Results: Compared to the THP monomer, the THP in TBSWF is absorbed faster, resides in the plasma longer and has a similar apparent volume of distribution Vz/F (10~20 L/kg). Compared to THP monomer and THP in TBSWF, the area under the concentration-time curve AUC 0-t of THP in ECA decreases two-third; Vz/F of THP in ECA (85.02 L/kg) is significantly higher than that of THP in TBSWF(p <0.05). Unlike THP monomer and THP in ECA, double peaks are observed in the C-T profile of THP after oral administration of TBSWF. THP in TBSWF exhibits slow release to a certain degree. Conclusion: The interactions among the ingredients of TBSWF promote the adsorption and prolong the residence time of THP in vivo, and provide an explanation for the advantages of TBSWF from the point of pharmacokinetics.

ABSTRACT Hsp40s are ubiquitous, conserved proteins which function with molecular chaperones of the Hsp70 class. Sis1 is an essential Hsp40 of the cytosol of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, thought to be required for initiation of translation. We carried out a genetic analysis to determine the regions of Sis1 required to perform its key function(s). A C-terminal truncation of Sis1, removing 231 amino acids but retaining the N-terminal 121 amino acids encompassing the J domain and the glycine-phenylalanine-rich (G-F) region, was able to rescue the inviability of a Δsis1 strain. The yeast cytosol contains other Hsp40s, including Ydj1. To determine which regions carried the critical determinants of Sis1 function, we constructed chimeric genes containing portions of SIS1 and YDJ1. A chimera containing the J domain of Sis1 and the G-F region of Ydj1 could not rescue the lethality of the Δsis1 strain. However, a chimera with the J domain of Ydj1 and the G/F region of Sis1 could rescue the strain’s lethality, indicating that the G-F region is a unique region required for the essential function of Sis1. However, a J domain is also required, as mutants expected to cause a disruption of the interaction of the J domain with Hsp70 are inviable. We conclude that the G-F region, previously thought only to be a linker or spacer region between the J domain and C-terminal regions of Hsp40s, is a critical determinant of Sis1 function.
