    Notes: Abstract Early detection of plant transformation events is necessary for the rapid establishment and optimization of plant transformation protocols. We have assessed modified versions of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria as early reporters of plant transformation using a dissecting fluorescence microscope with appropriate filters. Gfp-expressing cells from four different plant species (sugarcane, maize, lettuce, and tobacco) were readily distinguished, following either Agrobacterium-mediated or particle bombardment-mediated transformation. The identification of gfp-expressing sugarcane cells allowed for the elimination of a high proportion of non-expressing explants and also enabled visual selection of dividing transgenic cells, an early step in the generation of transgenic organisms. The recovery of transgenic cell clusters was streamlined by the ability to visualize gfp-expressing tissues in vitro.

    Notes: Abstract As part of our analysis of the role of a uniquely clustered set of dam methylation sites (the motif GATC) within the origin of DNA replication in Escherichia coli, we have studied the effect of GATCs in various methylation states on the intrinsic curvature of DNA. We have designed a set of DNA linkers and used commercially available linkers containing GATC motifs. The linkers were ligated and the electrophoretic mobility of the resulting multimers in different states of methylation was tested relative to reference fragments. We report that properly phased GATCs in certain sequence environments modulate DNA curvature and that these effects may be enhanced by N6-adenine methylation of the GATCs. These structural alterations may in turn affect DNA-protein interactions, especially those involving proteins that rely on both primary sequence and structure for recognition. We present an example, where introduction of a GATC within an integration host factor (IHF) binding site, which does not alter the consensus sequence, reduces the binding affinity of the protein for the modified site.
