Tobamoviral vectors have been developed for the heterologous expression of glycoproteins in plants. The rice α-amylase gene (OS103) was placed under the transcriptional control of a tobamovirus subgenomic promoter in a RNA viral vector. One to two weeks after inoculation, transfected
Nicotiana benthamiana plants accumulated glycosylated α-amylase to levels of at least 5% total soluble protein. The 46
kDa recombinant enzyme was purified, and its structural and biological properties were analyzed. Post-translational modifications of the secreted protein were compared to rice α-amylase expressed in amylolytic strains of
Pichia pastoris and
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Endo-H analysis revealed that the α-amylase was moderately glycosylated in transfected plants and hyperglycosylated in yeast.
