  • Rice promoters for regulation of plant expression
    Patent number: 8115058
    Abstract: The present invention provides promoters from plants capable of driving gene expression in plant cells. The promoters vary in strength and in tissue specificity, and can be used to facilitate the development of transgenic plants in which tissue preferred expression, constitutive expression, and the strength of transgene expression is either more or less critical.

  • Identification of protein interactions using in vivo post-translationally modified fusion proteins
    Publication number: 20040115777
    Abstract: Methods and products for the study of in vivo protein interactions and the identification of natural ligands or binding partners for proteins are disclosed. The methods employ fusion proteins comprising a protein of interest and a post-translational modification sequence which is post-translationally modified with a tag. The tag can then be used in an affinity purification methodology to extract both the fusion protein and its natural ligands or binding partners from a cell lysate. Also disclosed are vectors useful in producing such fusions, and cells transformed with such vectors.
