GSG linker is anoligopeptide of “Gly-Ser-Gly” between your protein and 2A peptide to enhance cleavage.
+
The glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) plays a key role in formaldehyde metabolism. FALDH is identified as an enzyme expressed in the cytoplasm. If we make FALDH over-express in plants, we can enhance plants’ tolerance to formaldehyde and increase the ability of plants to absorb formaldehyde. In the process of metabolism of formaldehyde, the formaldehyde may first combine with glutathione (GSH) to form the product of S-hydroxymethyl glutathione (HM-GSH), then FALDH in cytoplasm will catalyzes the formation of a S-formyl glutathione (F-GSH). Next the F-GSH will be hydrolyzed to formate (HCOOH) and GSH by S-formyl glutathione hydrolase  (FGH).

<p>This process is induced by a “2A-like”, or CHYSEL (cis-acting hydrolase element) sequence. This sequence comprises a non-conserved sequence of amino-acids with a strong alpha-helical propensity followed by the consensus sequence -D(V/I)ExNPG P, where x= any amino acid. The apparent cleavage occurs between G and P.

Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) is a mitochondrial-localized NAD-requiring enzyme while the HCOOH is getting into the mitochondrial, FDH will oxidize the formic acid into CO2, and reduce NAD+ to NADH with a high degree of specificity. In our project, the heterologous expression of <i>FDH</i> from arabidopsis thaliana was completed.

<p>Ribosomal “skipping” has been observed only in +ssRNA and dsRNA viruses, whose hosts are animals, plant or insect. The conserved motif has been identified also in trypanosoma and in some fungus proteins. Ribosomal “skipping” is functioning both in vitro and in vivo when translated by eukaroytic ribosomes, but is inactive when translated by prokaryoticribosomes.

The ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway is one of the formaldehyde-fixation pathways found in microorganisms called methylotrophs, which utilize one-carbon compounds as the sole carbon source. The key enzymes of this pathway are 3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (HPS), which fixes formaldehyde to D-ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru5P) to produce D-arabino-3-hexulose-6-phosphate (Hu6P), and 6-phospho-3-Hexuloiso-merase (PHI), which converts Hu6P to fructose 6-phosphate (F6P). The two key enzymes work in chloroplast both. We will use fusion expression to conduct heterologous expression in tobacco.

Considering the problem of environment and safety, we use male sterility system which prevents the horizontal transgene flow. Pawan Shukla has used a plant pathogen-induced gene, cysteine protease to induce male sterility. This gene was identified in the wild peanut, <i>Arachis diogoi</i> differentially expressed when it was challenged with the late leaf spot pathogen, <i>Phaeoisariopsis personata</i>. Arachis diogoi cysteine protease  (<i>AdCP</i>) was expressed under the strong tapetum-specific promoter (TA29). And tobacco transformants were generated. Morphological and histological analysis of <i>AdCP</i> transgenic plants showed ablated tapetum and complete pollen abortion.

The 35S promoter is a strong promoter derived from cauliflower mosaic virus.This constitutive promoter is widely used in transgenic plants to improve the level of the expression of foreign genes effectively.

Stomata are microscopic pores surrounded by two guard cells and play an important role in the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis. Recent researches revealed that light-induced stomatal opening is mediated by at least three key components: blue light receptor phototropin, plasma membrane H+-ATPase, and plasma membrane inward-rectifying K+ channels. However, Yin Wang, et al, showed that only increasing the amount of H+-ATPase in guard cells had a significant effect on light-induced stomatal opening. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants by overexpressing H+-ATPase in guard cells exhibited enhanced photosynthesis activity and plantgrowth. Therefore, in order to improve the ability of absorbing formaldehyde, we overexpresse H+-ATPase (<i>AtAHA2</i>) in transgenic tobacco guard cells , resulting in a significant effect on light-induced stomatal opening.

<p>The 18~22 amino acids 2A self-cleaving oligopeptidescan be used for co-expression ofmultiple, discrete proteins from a single ORF.Based on highly inefficient peptide bond formation between glycineand proline residues within the 2A peptide, placementof 2A peptide sequence as a linker region betweentandem cDNA’s allows the stoichiometric translation ofmultiple unfused protein products.These sequences were first discovered in the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV).And since than many 2A-like sequences have been identified in other viruses and some parasites.To minimize therisk of homologous recombination, it is important to use different 2A peptide sequences if morethan two genes are being linked.The 2A peptide system has thus far worked successfully in all eukaryotic systems tested, from mammaliancells, yeast, and plants.In our project,we use F2A(from foot-and-mouth disease virus), P2A(from porcine teschovirus-1) and T2A(fromThosea asigna virus) to achieve our goal.

The heat shock protein 18.2 (HSP) terminator was the most effective in supporting increased levels of expression. The HSP terminator increases mRNA levels of both transiently and stably expressed transgenes approximately 2-fold more than the NOS (nopaline synthase) terminator in transfected Arabidopsis T87 protoplasts. When combined with the HSP terminator, a translational enhancer increased gene expression levels approximately 60- to 100-fold in transgenic plants.

The bacterial RuMP pathway and the plant Calvin-Benson cycle share common metabolic features: (i) bothpathways fix a one-carbon unit to ribulose phosphate;(ii) the fixation reaction eventually yields F6P; and (iii)Ru5P is regenerated from F6P through rearrangementreactions.In the pathwaydesigned, the CO2-fixation and reduction steps in thecycle are bypassed by the HPS- and PHI-catalyzedreactions.

Formate dehydrogenase is a mitochondrial-localized NAD-requiring enzyme while the HCOOH is getting into the mitochondrial,FDH will oxidize the formic acid into CO2, and reduce NAD+ to NADH with a high degree of specificity.In our project,the heterologous expression of FDH from arabidopsis thaliana was completed. <br/><br/>

The glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase(FALDH) plays a key role in formaldehyde metabolism. FALDH is identified as an enzyme expressed in the cytoplasm. If we make FALDH over-express in plants, we can enhance plants’ tolerance to HCHO and increase the ability of plants to absorb HCHO. In the process of metabolism of formaldehyde, the formaldehyde may first combined with glutathione (GSH) to form the product of S-hydroxymethyl glutathione (HM-GSH), then FALDH in cytoplasm will catalyzes the formation of a S-formyl glutathione(F-GSH). Next the F-GSH will be hydrolyzed to formate(HCOOH) and GSH by S-formyl glutathione hydrolase (FGH).
+
TCP03 is also a kind of transit peptide which can lead formate dehydrogenase into chloroplast.

Considering the problem of environment and safety, we use male sterility system which prevents the horizontal transgene flow. Pawan Shukla has used a plant pathogen-induced gene, cysteine protease to induce male sterility. This gene was identified in the wild peanut, Arachis diogoi differentially expressed when it was challenged with the late leaf spot pathogen, Phaeoisariopsis personata. Arachis diogoi cysteine protease (AdCP) was expressed under the strong tapetum-specific promoter (TA29).And tobacco transformants were generated. Morphological and histological analysis of AdCP transgenic plants showed ablated tapetum and complete pollen abortion.

The 18~22 amino acids 2A self-cleaving oligopeptides can be used for co-expression of multiple, discrete proteins from a single ORF. Based on highly inefficient peptide bond formation between glycine and proline residues within the 2A peptide, placement of 2A peptide sequence as a linker region between tandem cDNA’s allows the stoichiometric translation of multiple unfused protein products. To minimize the risk of homologous recombination, it is important to use different 2A peptide sequences if more than two genes are being linked. The 2A peptide system has thus far worked successfully in all eukaryotic systems tested, from mammalian cells, yeast, and plants. In our project, we use F2A, P2A and T2A to achieve our goal.

Stomata are microscopic pores surrounded by two guard cellsand play an important role in the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis.Recent researches revealed that light-induced stomatalopening is mediated by at least three key components:blue light receptor phototropin, plasma membrane H+-ATPase,and plasma membrane inward-rectifying K+ channels.However,Yin Wang, et al[1]showed that only increasing the amount of H+-ATPase in guardcells had a significant effect on light-induced stomatal opening.Transgenic Arabidopsis plants by overexpressing H+-ATPase inguard cells exhibited enhanced photosynthesis activity and plantgrowth.
+
-
<br/>
+
-
Therefore,in order to improve the ability of absorbingformaldehyde, we overexpresse H+-ATPase(At AHA2) in transgenic  tobacco guard cells ,resulting in a significant effect on light-induced stomatal opening.

The heat shock protein 18.2 (HSP) terminator was the most effective in supporting increased levels of expression. The HSP terminator increases mRNA levels of both transiently and stably expressed transgenes approximately 2-fold more than the NOS (nopaline synthase) terminator in transfected Arabidopsis T87 protoplasts. When combined with the HSP terminator, a translational enhancer increased gene expression levels approximately 60- to 100-fold in transgenic plants.
