2.3.1.107 enzyme is expressed as recombinant His-tagged protein in Escherichia coli 486112 2.3.1.107 expression in Escherichia coli 486114 2.3.1.107 gene Dat, DNA sequence determination and analysis 660317 2.3.1.107 expressed in Escherichia coli and Catharanthus roseus 689417 2.3.1.107 transformation to Agrobacterium tumefaciens 706200 2.3.1.107 transient expression of N-terminally or C-terminally GFP-tagged DAT in Catharanthus roseus cells. Irrespective to the fusion orientation, DAT is localized to the cytoplasm and the nucleus, as highlighted by the perfect overlapping of the fluorescence signal of the fusion protein with the nucleocytoplasmic CFP marker 712866 2.3.1.107 the CrDAT transgene is transferred into Catharanthus roseus by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and generated transgenic periwinkle lines with an increase in vincristine accumulation. The Catharanthus roseus DAT gene is introduced into Catharanthus roseus plants and it ias confirmed that CrDAT is successfully transferred into the genome of periwinkle plants and efficiently translated to synthesise recombinant DAT protein 765187
