Abstract: cDNA encoding Nicotiana benthamiana fibrillarin2 was amplified by RT-PCR and inserted into expressed vectors which include YFP or CFP. Transient expression of these constructs was on leaf epidermal cells of Nicotiana benthamiana, these proteins localized in the nucleolus and cajal body, which can be a marker of these two organelles. The expression of these new fusion proteins were also verified by Western blot. This marker maybe play a role on indicating accurate localization in nucleus and forecasting the function of proteins, especially virus-encoded proteins.
