Protamine-mediated DNA coating remarkably improves bombardment transformation efficiency in plant cells

PLANT CELL REPORTS, 28(2), 213–221.

By: E. Sivamani n, R. DeLong* & R. Qu n

author keywords: DNA coating; DNA delivery; GUS; Plant transformation; Particle bombardment; Protamine
MeSH headings : DNA / chemistry; DNA / genetics; Oryza / metabolism; Plants / genetics; Plasmids / genetics; Protamines / chemistry; Transformation, Genetic / genetics
TL;DR: It is suggested that protamine protects plasmid DNA longer than spermidine when being delivered inside the cells, probably by forming a nano-scale complex, and thus helps improve the efficiency of particle bombardment-mediated plant transformation. (via Semantic Scholar)

Sequence analysis of rice rubi3 promoter gene expression cassettes for improved transgene expression

PLANT SCIENCE, 177(6), 549–556.

By: E. Sivamani n, J. Starmer* & R. Qu n

author keywords: Exon; GUS; IME; rRNA; rubi3 promoter; Translation
TL;DR: Sequence analysis suggests that complementarity between sequences immediately 5′ of a translation initiation codon and the rice 17S rRNA may be responsible for the reduction in protein levels from constructs containing the GUS leader sequence. (via Semantic Scholar)

Expression enhancement of a rice polyubiquitin gene promoter

PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 60(2), 225–239.

By: E. Sivamani n & R. Qu n

author keywords: exon; gene expression; GUS; IME; intron; polyubiquitin; promoter; rice
MeSH headings : 5' Untranslated Regions; Base Sequence; Blotting, Western; DNA Primers; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Glucuronidase / genetics; Introns; Luciferases / genetics; Oryza / genetics; Polyubiquitin / genetics; Promoter Regions, Genetic; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
TL;DR: The resultant 5′ regulatory sequence, consisting of the rubi3 promoter, 5′ UTR exon and intron, and the mutated first 9 nt coding sequence, has an activity nearly 90-fold greater than the rubu3 promoter only (without the 5′UTR intron), and 2.2-foldgreater than the maize Ubi1 gene promoter (including its 5″ UTR introns).
