Structure and key features of the pZFN1, pZFN2, and pZFN3 constructs. The vector system is based on the assembly of ZFN expression cassettes (pSAT4.hspP.ZFN and pSAT5.hspP.ZFN), a plant selection expression cassette (pSAT1.hpt), and GUS reporter cassette (pSAT6A.ZFN-TS*::GUS) onto the plant binary vector pRCS2. Asterisk stands for the modification generated in the cassette. The plasmid carries a plant expression cassette engineered for constitutive expression of a mutated uidA (GUS) gene. A stop (TGA) codon was engineered within the 6-bp spacer of the ZFN target site, leading to premature termination of uidA translation in plant cells. The ZFN QQR recognition site is shown.
