pRI 201 DNA transformation vectors

The Ri Plasmid pRI 201 is designed for the transformation and expression of target genes from plant cells. This series of binary vectors for plant transformation retains the backbone of the pRI 101 vectors, including an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene-derived 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) downstream of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV promoter)-derived 35S promoter. Additionally, these vectors have a heat shock protein (HSP) gene-derived terminator in place of the nopaline synthase (NOS) gene-derived terminator, allowing higher target gene expression compared with the pRI 101 vector series.

This series of binary vectors for plant transformation retains the backbone of the pRI 101 vectors, including an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene-derived 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) downstream of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV promoter)-derived 35S promoter. Additionally, these vectors have a heat shock protein (HSP) gene-derived terminator in place of the nopaline synthase (NOS) gene-derived terminator, allowing higher target gene expression compared with the pRI101 vector series.

Multigene transformation with a single vector can be achieved by integrating an expression cassette containing another gene (promoter + enhancer + gene of interest + terminator) into the vector's second multiple cloning site (MCS2) located downstream of the HSP terminator.

We offer two types of the pRI 201 DNA vectors, pRI 201-AN DNA and pRI 201-ON DNA. pRI 201-AN DNA contains an Arabidopsis ADH-derived 5'-UTR (AtADH 5'-UTR) and is suitable for dicotyledonous plant transformation. pRI 201-ON DNA contains a rice ADH-derived 5'-UTR (OsADH 5'-UTR) and is suitable for monocotyledonous plant transformation. The pRI 201-AN DNA and pRI 201-ON DNA binary vectors for plant transformation have a mutant-type replication origin (Ri ori) from the Rhizobium rhizogenes Ri plasmid. These vectors also contain a replication origin (ColE1 ori) derived from the pUC plasmid; the ColE1 ori allows high copy number replication in E. coli. The vectors' multiple cloning sites, located near the right border (RB) of T-DNA, allows stable target gene integration into the plant chromosome.

3265	pRI 201-ON DNA	10 ug	USD $501.00
Use pRI 201-AN DNA to transform dicotyledonous plants. Use pRI 201-ON DNA to transform monocotyledonous plants. The presence of 2 multicloning sites enable multigene transformation with a single vector. Vectors contain a replication origin (ColE1 ori) derived from pUC plasmids, which allows maintenance at a high-copy- number in E. coli. pRI 201 DNA series are binary vectors designed for expressing target genes in transformed plant cells. This series of vectors retain the backbone of pRI 101 vectors (Cat.# 3262/3263), which includes an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene-derived 5' untranslated region (5' -UTR) (translational enhancer region) downstream of the 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). In addition, they have a heat shock protein (HSP) gene-derived terminator in place of the nopaline synthase (NOS) gene-derived terminator, allowing higher target gene expression compared with the pRI 101 series 2. Further, multigene transformation with a single vector is possible by integrating an expression cassette containing another gene (promoter + enhancer + gene of interest + terminator) into the cloning site (MCS2) downstream of the HSP terminator. The pRI 201 series has two types of vectors: pRI 201-AN DNA and pRI 201-ON DNA. Carrying an Arabidopsis ADH-derived 5' -UTR (AtADH 5' -UTR), pRI 201-AN DNA is suitable for dicotyledonous plants. With a rice ADH-derived 5' -UTR (OsADH 5' -UTR), pRI 201-ON DNA is compatible with monocotyledonous plants. Notice to purchaser Our products are to be used for Research Use Only.
