Description

Rice-derived seed-specific expression promoters and their uses {Endosperm-specific expression promoter derived from Oryza sativa and use thereof}

The present invention is rice (Oryza sativa) derived from seed endosperm-specific expression promoter and relates to their use, more particularly OsNFY26 (Oryza sativa Nuclear Factor inducing specific expression in the target gene in the endosperm (endosperm) and hobuncheung (aleurone layer) structure of mature seeds Y 26) promoter, a recombinant expression vector containing the promoter, a method for producing a transformed plant using the recombinant expression vector, and a plant transformed by the method.

Expression of a gene refers to a series of processes for synthesizing a protein according to a code entered into the gene through transcription and translation occurring within the cell. In particular, the transcription process is the initial stage of gene expression, in which the RNA polymerase is initiated by binding to a promoter sequence located on top of the gene with the aid of several cofactors, and the transcription factor (TF) One such cofactor is known to bind directly to the promoter sequence.

Crop molecular breeding can use all kinds of genes as a material and it is possible to control the effect of breeding infinitely by dragging the breeding technique which was possible only by the existing genome unit as a gene unit, Technology. In order to maximize the effect of these crop molecular breeding techniques, it is necessary to 1) accumulate a large amount of gene data that can represent various plant genes, 2) construct a transformation system for various crops, 3) The development of various promoters capable of regulating the expression of the inserted gene should be preceded.

Known promoters used to achieve the transfection purpose by limiting the expression of foreign genes to specific tissues of plants can be classified as follows according to their functions.

First, seed-specific promoters can be mentioned. As a representative example, the rice glutelin promoter used for the development of golden rice as promoters of rice major storage protein gene has been widely used to induce seed-specific expression of monocotyledonous plants so far. Promoters that are mainly used to induce seed-specific expression include soybean-derived lectin promoter, cabbage-derived napin promoter and γ-tocopherol methyl transferase (γ-TMT) in Arabidopsis seeds. A DC-3 promoter derived from carrot used in the study of promoting the production of vitamin E by inducing gene expression, and the case of confirming the induction of seed-specific expression of an oleosin promoter derived from perilla. The seed-specific promoters are mainly used for the purpose of accumulating useful proteins and producing beneficial substances in major crops in which seed itself is used as a food, a food, or a raw material for food.

Second, it is a root tissue specific expression promoter. Although there are no commercially available examples, it has been confirmed that the peroxidase (prxEa) is isolated and specific expression of root center main tissues has been confirmed. Recently, the expression of maz genes (ibMADS) derived from sweet potatoes and the sugar-induced ADP-glucan pyrophosphatase ADP-glucose pyrophosphatase, AGPase) gene has been isolated and it has been confirmed that the promoter induces specific expression in roots and induces root-specific transient expression in carrot and radish (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-18771 and 10-604191). These promoters can be expected to be mainly used for the purpose of improving agricultural traits, accumulating useful proteins, and producing useful substances in major root crops used for food, food, or food.

Third, a systemic expression-inducible promoter can be mentioned. As a promoter for plant systemic expression induction, 35S RNA gene promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) has been used as a typical promoter for dicotyledonous plants. As a promoter inducing systemic expression for rice plants such as rice, rice actin ) And maize ubiquitin gene promoters have been mainly used. Recently, a promoter of rice cytochrome C gene (OsOc1) has been developed and used by domestic researchers (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-429335). They are already inherent in inducing the expression of antibiotics, herbicide resistance genes and reporter genes used as selection markers in the plant transgenic carrier. From a research point of view, Promoters considered.

Fourth, other tissue-specific promoters such as leaves may be mentioned. RbcS (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase small subunit) promoter derived from rice and maize, which induces expression of a strong gene only in photosynthetic tissues such as leaves, RolD promoter inducing expression of plant roots derived from Agrobacterium, induction of specific expression of potato-derived tuber A phattoin promoter, a PDS (phytoene synthase) promoter derived from tomato-derived fruit-specific expression, and a cabbage-derived oleosin promoter whose function is confirmed to be a pollen-specific plant of a Chinese cabbage. A male sterile plant has been developed by inducing the expression of a Bt protein gene having toxicity to cells in a carpet-specific tissue-specific BcA9 promoter (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-435143).

In addition, a large number of promoters have been reported for various plant-derived plant tissues for various purposes and are still under development. However, the types of promoters commercialized or commonly used among plant researchers are not limited to those mentioned above And new promoters that can regulate gene expression sites more precisely according to the intention of the developer need to be developed in the future.

Recently, as the genetic engineering technology has developed, many researches have been carried out to improve the characteristics of plants. In particular, there is much interest in techniques for obtaining a useful gene from a transgenic plant. A promoter involved in expression of the gene is required when the desired gene is expressed in a transgenic plant. For this purpose, a promoter derived from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV35S), in which expression is induced in whole tissues of plants, is widely used. However, in the case of producing a useful substance only in seeds, or when a foreign gene is expressed in tissues other than seeds and harms the plant, a promoter which is specifically expressed in the seed is required. Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-0043820 discloses a method for producing a target protein in a seed-seeded plant using a seed-expression-specific expression promoter, a recombinant plant expression vector and a recombinant plant expression vector for transformation of a monocotyledonous plant Korean Patent No. 1166239 discloses a promoter capable of inducing expression of a gene located at the 3 'end only in seeds of a paddy plant and a method capable of accumulating a large amount of a target protein in plant seeds using the promoter Japanese Patent No. 5168511 discloses a promoter that specifically expresses a specific site such as a seed of a seed and an endosperm, but is different from the promoter of the present invention.

The known seed, root or leaf specific expression promoters are expected to be used for the purpose of improving agricultural traits, accumulating useful proteins, and producing useful substances in major crops used as food, food, or food raw materials.

However, conventional promoters known to induce tissue-specific expression in plants have the advantage of being able to express a target gene in a tissue-specific manner, but have a disadvantage in that the expression amount thereof is insignificant. Therefore, it is urgent to find useful new promoters capable of expressing a gene of interest in a plant in a tissue-specific and large-scale expression.

Under these circumstances, the present inventors have made intensive efforts to develop a novel promoter capable of expressing a target gene in a tissue-specific manner in a plant, and as a result, the seed expression transcription factor was selected through analysis of the transcript according to the developmental stage of the seed, The present invention has been accomplished by isolating the OsNFY26 promoter which is capable of expressing the target gene mainly in the endosperm of the mature seed and in the phyllosphere tissue.

Promoters are activated by the binding of several common transcription factors, such as the TATA box that controls gene expression, the CAAT box site, the site that affects gene expression in response to external stimuli, And an enhancer that promotes the expression of almost all of the genes regardless of the gene expression. Since proteins necessary for basic metabolism of living organisms must maintain a constant concentration in cells, the promoter linked to these genes is always activated by the action of common transcription factors. On the other hand, proteins that do not have a role in normal times and require functions only under specific circumstances are connected to a tissue specific promoter or an inducible promoter that induces the expression of the structural gene. In other words, tissue specific promoters are activated by the binding of specific transcription factors activated by external stimuli from environmental factors from the environment in the developmental process of the organism.

In order to isolate the promoter region of the OsNFY26 gene selected in Example 1-1, nucleotide sequence information of 2,000 bp at the start of translation was extracted from a rice genome database, and primers for amplifying the fragment (Forward primer) OsNFY26P-F: 5'-CTA GTC TAG AAT GCC GAT CCC GGA AAA GG-3 '(SEQ ID NO: 4) and reverse primer OsNFY26P-R: 5'-ACG CGG ATC CTC ACT CAG GAA GAT CTT TGT CAG-3 '(SEQ ID NO: 5) was synthesized. Using the primer set, the genomic DNA of Dongjin rice was used as a template, and the gene was amplified using a Applied Biosystem 9700 machine in a PCR reaction solution together with a Primestar polymerase (Takara). At this time, the reaction conditions for PCR were denaturation at 94 ° C for 5 minutes, followed by 40 cycles of 94 ° C for 30 seconds, 58 ° C for 40 seconds, and 72 ° C for 5 minutes, Min. After completion of the PCR reaction, the amplified gene was electrophoresed on 1% agarose, and the band assumed to be the OsNFY26 promoter was cut out and purified using a QIAquick gel extraction kit and then used for cloning.

Example  2-2: OsNFY26  Of the promoter region Cloning ( cloning ) And base sequence analysis

The PCR product of the OsNFY26 promoter region amplified in Example 2-1 was cloned into a gateway donor vector (pENTER / D-TOPO, Invitrogen) and the entire nucleotide sequence was determined. Thus, the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 OsNFY26 promoter gene (Fig. 3).

Example  2-3: OsNFY26  Motif of promoter region ( motif ) Search

In order to confirm the regulatory factors present in the OsNFY26 promoter gene obtained in Example 2-2, a PLACE (Plant Cis-acting Elements database: http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp/PLACE/) program Were used to analyze gene expression motifs. As a result, as shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that seed or papillary reaction motif (CANBNNAPA or DPBFCOREDCDC3) was present and involved in seed germination and dormancy control such as GARE (GA responsive element) and ABRE (ABA responsive element) There is also a motif that responds to the hormone. Through this, it was found that the OsNFY26 promoter could induce expression specifically in seeds and could be involved in seed germination, dormancy and growth regulation.

Example  3: Transformation vector ( vector ) And transformant production

Example  3-1: OsNFY26  Production of Promoter Carrier

A recombinant expression vector was constructed to express the reporter gene GUS using the OsNFY26 gene promoter isolated in Example 2-1 .

Specifically, a recombinant vector in which the promoter was inserted was constructed in pBGWFS7 vector (PSB company, Plant System Biology) for expression of a gateway promoter (Fig. 4).

Example  3-2: Agrobacterium ( Agrobacterium tumefaciens ) Production of Transformants

The OsNFY26 promoter expression vector prepared in Example 3-1 was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens (LBA4404) using the freeze-thaw method.

Specifically, YEP medium (10 g of Yeast, 5 g of NaCl, 10 g of peptone, 15 g of Agar, and 10 g of Agar) was added to the medium after transfection by freeze and thaw two to three times, followed by heat shock at 37 캜. 1 L) overnight to identify colonies. Colony transformed by colony PCR was transformed into AB medium (AB buffer (K 2 HPO 4 60 g, NaH 2 PO 4 20 g / 1 L), AB Salts (NH 4 Cl 60 g, MgSO 4 7H 2 O 6g, KCl 3g, CaCl 2 2H 2 O 0.265g, FeSO 4 .7H 2 O 50mg / 1L), Glucose 5g / 1L).

Example  4: Production and analysis of rice plant transformants using Agrobacterium

Example  4-1: Construction of transgenic rice plants using Agrobacterium

Agrobacterium LBA4404 into which the OsNFY26 promoter expression vector prepared in Example 3-2 was introduced was inoculated into callus of Dongjin-jinja and infected. Then, 6 쨉 g / ml of PPT (phosphinothricin, phosphinotricin) L, and finally the selected transformants were grown in a greenhouse to produce transformed rice.

Specifically, transformation of rice with Agrobacterium was carried out by washing the seeds in a lactose to induce the callus of Dongjinbyeong in 2N6 medium, drying it appropriately, and allowing the 2,4-D hormone 2 to be added to N6 medium (Duchefa vitamin-containing medium) mg / L. < / RTI > The embryogenesis callus was subcultured in 2N6 fresh medium after inducing callus by incubation at 27 DEG C for 3 to 4 weeks. Agrobacterium-transformed genes containing the transgene were cultured in AB liquid medium, co-cultured with embryogenic calli for 20 minutes, and then cultured for 3 days. Cefotaxime was added to the sterilized water to wash the Agrobacterium until the Agrobacterium was completely removed. Subsequently, the cells were washed with 2N6 medium supplemented with 6 ㎍ / L of cefotaxime and PPT (phosphinothricin) For 3 weeks. The callus surviving without browning in 2N6 medium supplemented with cefotaxime and PPT was transferred to 2N6 medium supplemented with cefotaxime and PPT and cultured for 2 weeks. The cells were transferred to MSR medium (containing Maltose and Sorbitol in Duchefa MS medium) supplemented with cefotaxime and PPT for induction of shoots in the calli, and then cultured for 4 weeks. After rooting, rooting was performed prior to transfer to the greenhouse Treatment.

Example  4-2: OsNFY26  Analysis of promoter-inserted rice plant transformants

In order to confirm whether the OsNFY26 promoter expression vector was properly inserted into the transgenic rice produced using the Agrobacterium transformant into which the OsNFY26 promoter expression vector was introduced in Example 4-1, A genomic DNA of an OsNFY26 promoter-introduced rice plant transformant was isolated and subjected to PCR analysis.

Specifically, the genomic DNA was extracted from the leaves of transgenic rice plants into which the OsNFY26 promoter was inserted using an Inclone Genomic DNA prep kit, and a portion (GUSA- anti) and the promoter part (OsNFY26P-273F) were designed and synthesized. The primer sets GUSA-Anti: 5'-CGC GAT CCA GAC TGA ATG CCC-3 '(SEQ ID NO: 6) and OsNFY26P-273F: 5'-AAT CAT CCT ATA GTT GCT CCC C- No. 7) was used to perform PCR using the extracted genomic DNA as a template. At this time, the PCR was performed by heating the PCR reaction at 94 DEG C for 5 minutes and then heating the reaction mixture at 94 DEG C for 40 seconds, 55 DEG C for 40 seconds, and 72 DEG C for 40 seconds. Then, it was heated at 72 캜 for 7 minutes. After the PCR reaction, the amplified PCR products were developed on a 1% agarose gel using an electrophoresis apparatus and the band of the reaction product developed under UV was confirmed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, in the wild type (WT) used as a control, the PCR amplification product was not observed in Dongjinbyeo, whereas in the transgenic rice transfected with the OsNFY26 promoter expression vector, I could confirm that it appeared. As a result, it was found that the OsNFY26 promoter expression vector was correctly inserted into the transgenic rice plants produced using the Agrobacterium transformant into which the OsNFY26 promoter expression vector was introduced.

Example  5: OsNFY26  Promoter GUS  Analysis of Expression by Dyeing

In order to test the expression of the OsNFY26 promoter, the transgenic rice in which OsNFY26 promoter insertion was confirmed in Example 4-2 was analyzed by GUS protein staining. At this time, the site where the OsNFY26 promoter was activated was stained blue by GUS staining .

As a result of analysis of the expression of the promoter, it was confirmed that GUS staining was strongly stained in mature seeds as shown in Fig. 6A. In particular, it was confirmed that the embryo was hardly stained in the seeds, and that it was stained specifically in the endosperm and the aleurone layer.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 6B, GUS staining was not observed in other organs such as roots, stems, and leaves of transgenic rice seedlings in which the OsNFY26 promoter inserted 7 days after germination was inserted. Also, as shown in Fig. 6C, GUS staining was not observed in mature leaves and stems of transgenic rice grown for 2 months after germination. In addition, it was confirmed that GUS expression was not induced by external stimuli such as wound, ABA, abscisic acid hormone, and drought stress in the mature leaf slice (FIG. 6D). These results indicate that the OsNFY26 promoter induces specific expression in the endosperm of the seed and in the hornbone tissue.

Therefore, it has been proved that the OsNFY26 promoter can express the target gene mainly in the endosperm of the mature seed and in the phyllotaxis tissue in the representative monocotyledonous rice.
