タイトル A novel 2A-peptide-containing plasmid to generate stable Perkinsus marinus cells expressing organelle-targeted genes.
ジャーナル J Eukaryot Microbiol
Abstract Genetic manipulation techniques for marine protists are not well-established, despite immense efforts. However, Perkinsus marinus is an exception and can be developed as a genetically tractable model organism for related protists. Here, we designed a new plasmid for P. marinus that allows two proteins from a single mRNA to be differently localized using a self-cleaving 2A peptide. This enabled us to establish a stable transfectant expressing a mitochondrially targeted fluorescent protein. The system can be applied to any protein in theory and would make a powerful tool for investigating unique organelles in P. marinus and related dinoflagellates.
