High-level Expression of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor in Transgenic Soybean Seeds and Characterization of its Biological Activity

Abstract: The glycinin G1 gene encodes a soybean seed storage protein accumulating at a high level. We have used the G1 promoter to confer seed-specific expression of human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in transgenic soybeans. The coding region of 18 kDa bFGF was fused to the promoter or promoter-signal peptide sequence of G1 gene, and transferred into soybean. Analysis of transgenic plants demonstrated that bFGF transcript or protein was confined to the seeds. The highest level of bFGF accumulation in the seeds… Show more

“…storage protein promoter such as glycinin G1 promoter (Meinke et al 1981), which was used to achieve levels in the order of 2.5-3% in soybean (Ding et al 2006;Moravec et al 2007), the promoter of the alpha subunit of beta-conglycinin yielding about 2.9 % of TSP of human growth hormone (Cunha et al 2011a). Similarly, the seed specific promoter USP (unknown seed protein) was used to produce scFv antibody that accumulated about 2% TSP in pea seed (Saalbach et al 2001).…”

“…Theoretically, expression of transgenic proteins in soybean seeds represents one of the most cost-efficient platforms, and recent work has demonstrated potential economic advantages. Presently we (Garg, et al, 2007;Piller, et al, 2005), and others (Cunha, et al, 2010;Ding, Huang, Wang, Sun, & Xiang, 2006;Moravec, Schmidt, Herman, & Woodford-Thomas, 2007;Qi, et al, 2010;Rao & Hildebrand, 2009;Wang, et al, 2009;Zeitlin, et al, 1998), have developed stable soybean lines that express 1% to 4% of their total soluble protein as the transgenic protein. Since soybean seeds are 40% protein by weight, an average sized seed weighing approximately 150 milligrams represents approximately 2.4 milligrams of transgenic protein per seed at 4% expression (Table 1).…”
