PG - 56-62 AB - The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a family of growth factors that regulate the development of bone. BMP-2 is the most effective in the induction of bone tissue. A large amount of BMP-2 is needed for both bone tissue engineering research and clinical application. Thus, an effective way is necessary to produce sufficient BMP-2 protein. With the advance in plant biotechnology, transgenic plants have been targeted as a bioreactor to produce desired recombinant proteins. Here, the expression of recombinant human bmp-2 gene (rhbmp-2) was studied in tobacco plants using gus as a reporter gene. The difference of expression levels in root, stem and leaf tissues was analyzed by GUS activity assay, semi-quantitive RT-PCR and western blotting.The results indicated that the expression levels of fusion protein in root and stem tissues were significantly higher than those in leaf tissue. For the protein compositions in root and stem tissues were simpler than those in leaf tissue,this suggested that the purification process with root and stem tissues would potentially be easier.
