Abstract

Previously, we obtained a new viral vector based on the Alternanthera mosaic virus strain MU (AltMV-MU). The gene of interest was placed under control of two subgenomic promoters (sgp). Viral vector provided the superexpression of target proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana. In the present work, to increase the level of protein expression, this viral vector was modified and the coat protein gene was placed under control of three sgp. The new viral vector provided superexpression of the protein of interest in plants, and its amount was more than 50% of the total soluble protein in cells. The efficiency of the target protein expression in the plants transformed with viral vectors containing two and three sgp was compared.
