Abstract |
Plants have emerged as a promising alternative expression system for production of high value proteins because they offer several potential advantages, including low production costs, ease of scale-up to commercial quantities of production and reduced risk of product contamination by mammalian viruses or toxins. Τerpenes have properties as chemicals in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, with great economical importance. The DXS (1-deoxyxylulose 5- phosphate synthase) enzyme catalyzes the first step of the MEP pathway for terpene production in plants. That step is rate limitimg, underlying the importance of the DXS enzyme for the production of terpenes. In the first part of this thesis the DXS (isolated from the Cistus creticus plant) which is cloned in an overexpression vector, is used for Agrobacterium transformation. Nicotiana benthamiana leaf discs are transformed and four independent plant lines that bring one copy of the transgene are generated through tissue culture. Additionally, plants that have a Virp1 (bromodomain-containing protein that interacts with PSTVd) knock out are generated using the system of sgRNAs.
PNGaseA (Peptide:N-glycanase) is a deglycosylation enzyme, of major economical importance for the study of the glycome. In the second part of this thesis, the PNGaseA gene is isolated from almond seeds, cloned in proper overexpression vector and expressed transiently through Agroinfiltration in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The gene is successfully isolated and transcriptionally active.
