Definitions
- the present invention concerns root-specific promoters useful in plants, along with methods of use thereof, constructs containing the same, and transgenic plants produced with such promoters.
- a promoter is generally defined as a nucleic acid sequence upsteam or downstream from a transcribed gene, and to which RNA polymerase must bind if it is to transcribe the flanking gene into messenger RNA.
- a promoter may consist of a number of different regulatory elements that affect a structural gene operationally associated with the promoter in different ways. For example, a regulatory element may enhance or repress expression of an associated structural gene, subject that gene to developmental regulation, or contribute to the tissue-specific regulation of that gene. Modifications to promoters can make possible optional patterns of gene expression, using recombinant DNA procedures. See, e.g., Old and Primrose, Principles of Gene Manipulation (4th Ed., 1989).
- Transgenic plants expressing peptides that inhibit or kill a particular pest or pathogen provide a method for decreasing crop damage and loss.
- expression of the Bacillus thuringiensis protein in transgenic corn provides resistance to the European corn borer.
- transgene expression in all tissues of a plant can be disadvantageous as it can expose non-target organisms to the transgenic protein and can increase the selective pressure for the development of pathogens and pests which are resistant to the transgenic protein.
- High levels of transgene expression throughout a plant may also negatively affect growth and yield of the plant.
- An alternative strategy is to express a toxic peptide only in the organ or tissue affected by a particular pest or pathogen. Implementation of this strategy against pests and pathogens that attack plant roots has been hampered by the lack of characterized root-specific promoters.
- RNA polymerase enzyme Transcription of a gene is initiated when a stable complex is formed between RNA polymerase enzyme and a gene promoter. Promoters generally occur at the beginning of all transcription units, are typically about 100 base pairs in length, and generally are located immediately upstream from the start site of transcription. See e.g., Maniatis et al., Science 236:1238 (1987). Promoters vary in their "strength"; that is, in their ability to accurately and efficiently initiate transcription. The RNA polymerase holoenzyme is thought to cover a region of about 50 bases immediately upstream of the transcribed region. In some cases the strength of transcription initiation may be enhanced by auxiliary proteins that bind adjacent to the region of the promoter which is immediately upstream from the transcribed DNA. See, e.g., Singer & Berg, Genes and Genomes, 140-145, University Science Books, Mill Valley, Cailf. (1991).
- a first aspect of the present invention is an isolated DNA molecule which directs root specific transcription of a downstream heterologous DNA segment in a plant cell.
- the promoter is a putrescine-N-methyltransferase (PMT) promoter, such as the tobacco PMT promoter or NtPMTl promoter.
- PMT putrescine-N-methyltransferase
- Examples of promoters of the present invention include isolated DNA molecules having a sequence selected from the group consisting of (a) SEQ ID NOs: 1-11 provided herein, and (b) DNA sequences which hybridize to any of SEQ ID NOS: 1-11 or the complement thereof (preferably under stringent conditions), and which direct root specific transcription of a downstream heterologous DNA segment in a plant cell.
- a further aspect of the present invention is an expression cassette comprising a tobacco PMT promoter and a heterologous DNA segment positioned downstream from, and operatively associated with, the promoter.
- a further aspect of the present invention is an expression cassette comprising a root specific promoter and a heterologous DNA segment, the sequence of the root specific promoter as described herein
- FIG. 1 Further aspects of the present invention are plant cells comprising the above described expression cassettes, methods of making transformed plants from such plant cells, and the transformed plants comprising such transformed plant cells.
- Figure 1 shows average GUS expression levels in leaves (column 1), stems (column 2), and roots (column 3) directed by the PMT promoter.
- Nucleotide sequences are presented herein by single strand only, in the 5' to 3' direction, from left to right. Nucleotides are represented herein in the manner recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission.
- root specific promoters of the present invention are DNA molecules which have a sequence corresponding to any one of those shown in SEQ ID NOS: 1-11, all of which are discussed in greater detail below. It will be apparent that other sequence fragments from the Tobacco PMT 5' flanking region, longer or shorter than the foregoing sequences, or with minor additions, deletions, or substitutions made thereto, can be prepared which will also carry the TobPMT root specific promoter, all of which are included within the present invention.
- a further aspect of the present invention includes promoters isolated from other tobacco genes, or from plants other than tobacco as set forth below, which are homologous to the tobacco PMT promoter and are capable of directing root specific transcription of a downstream heterologous DNA segment in a plant cell.
- a TobPMT promoter refers to a DNA molecule having a sequence identical to, or substantially homologous to, a continuous segment of the DNA found 5' to the transcribed region of the tobacco PMT gene.
- SEQ ID NO:l given herein provides the sequence of the region found immediately 5' to the transcription start site in the TobPMT gene.
- TobPMT promoters include the at least 100 base pair region, the 150 base pair region, or preferably the 200 base pair region immediately 5' to the TobPMT transcribed region, and direct root specific expression.
- regions that are "substantially homologous" are at least 75%, and more preferably are 80%, 85%, 90% or even 95% homologous to the nucleic acid sequence.
- a root specific promoter is a promoter that preferentially directs expression of an operatively associated DNA, nucleic acid or gene in root tissue, as compared to expression in leaf or stem tissue, or other tissues of the plant.
- Root specific promoter sequences from other plants include those which are at least about 75 percent homologous (and more preferably 80%, 85%, 90% or even 95% homologous) to the approximately 100 base segment of the Tobacco PMT promoter immediately upstream of the transcribed DNA region, and which are capable of directing root specific transcription of a downstream heterologous DNA segment in a plant cell.
- Root specific promoters from other plants include those which are at least about 75 percent homologous (and more preferably 80%, 85%, 90% or even 95% homologous) to the continuous portions of the TobPMT promoter as defined herein by SEQ ID NOS: 1-11, and which are capable of directing root specific transcription of a downstream heterologous DNA segment in a plant cell. Percent homology may be determined by comparing the reference sequence, such as SEQ ID NO: 1 to 11, with another test sequence by the use of a suitable comparison algorithms or by visual inspection. In one embodiment, the substantial identity exists over a region of the sequences that is at least about 20 to 50 residues in length. For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared.
- test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated.
- sequence comparison algorithm calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters.
- Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci.
- PILEUP creates a multiple sequence alignment from a group of related sequences using progressive, pairwise alignments to show relationship and percent sequence identity. It also plots a tree or dendogram showing the clustering relationships used to create the alignment. PILEUP uses a simplification of the progressive alignment method of Feng & Doolittle, J. Mol. Evol. 35:351-360 (1987).
- the method used is similar to the method described by Higgins & Sharp, CABIOS 5:151-153 (1989).
- the program can align up to 300 sequences, each of a maximum length of 5,000 nucleotides or amino acids.
- the multiple alignment procedure begins with the pairwise alignment of the two most similar sequences, producing a cluster of two aligned sequences. This cluster is then aligned to the next most related sequence or cluster of aligned sequences. Two clusters of sequences are aligned by a simple extension of the pairwise alignment of two individual sequences. The final alignment is achieved by a series of progressive, pairwise alignments.
- the program is run by designating specific sequences and their amino acid or nucleotide coordinates for regions of sequence comparison and by designating the program parameters.
- a reference sequence can be compared to other test sequences to determine the percent sequence identity relationship using the following parameters: default gap weight (3.00), default gap length weight (0.10), and weighted end gaps.
- default gap weight 3.00
- default gap length weight 0.10
- weighted end gaps 3.00
- Another example of algorithm that is suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity is the BLAST algorithm, which is described in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990). Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).
- This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence.
- T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold (Altschul et al., supra).
- a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the • cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached.
- the BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment.
- the BLASTP program uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915 (1989)).
- High stringency hybridization conditions which will permit homologous DNA sequences to hybridize to a DNA sequence as given herein are well known in the art.
- hybridization of such sequences to DNA disclosed herein may be carried out in 25% formamide, 5X SSC, 5X Denhardt's solution, with 100 ug/ml of single stranded DNA and 5% dextran sulfate at 42° C, with wash conditions of 25% formamide, 5X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 42°. C. for 15 minutes, to allow hybridization of sequences of about 60% homology.
- More stringent conditions are represented by a wash stringency of 0.3M NaCl, 0.03M sodium citrate, 0.1% SDS at 60° or even 70° C.
- plant DNA sequences which code for root specific promoters and which hybridize to the DNA sequence encoding the tobacco PMT root specific promoters disclosed herein will be at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or even 95% homologous or more with the sequences of the DNA encoding the tobacco PMT root specific promoters disclosed herein.
- Root specific promoters of the present invention are useful in directing tissue specific expression of transgenes in transformed plants. Such tissue-specific transgene expression is useful in providing resistance against damage caused by pests and pathogens which attack plant roots.
- tissue-specific transgene expression is useful in providing resistance against damage caused by pests and pathogens which attack plant roots.
- expression of transgenes designed to alter the stored carbohydrates may be directed by such promoters.
- Exogenous genes of particular interest for root specific expression include those that code for proteins that bind heavy metals (such as metallothionein); proteins that give resistance to soil borne pests and pathogens; proteins that confer resistance to heat, salt (salinity) and drought; proteins for desalinization; and proteins that metabolize plant storage compounds into alternative preferred products or forms.
- the root specific promoters of the invention may be used to express proteins or peptides in "molecular farming” applications. Such proteins or peptides include but are not limited to industrial enzymes, antibodies, therapeutic agents, and nutritional products. Such root-specific expression is particularly useful when the plant is a root crop plant such as a sugar beet. Root specific promoters of the invention are also useful for expressing an oligonucleotide that will decrease or inhibit expression of a native gene in the plant.
- Such oligonucleotides may be from 4, 6 or 8 nucleotides to 40, 80 or 100 nucleotides in length, or more, and may encode antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes, sense suppression agents, or other products that inhibit the expression of a native gene.
- Tissue specific promoters may also be used to convert pro-pesticides to active forms in selected tissue sites.
- Hsu et al. Pestic. Sci., 44, 9 (1995) report the use of a chimeric gene comprising the root-specific promoter TobRB7 and the B- glucuronidase enzyme gene, to preferentially convert a pro-pesticide to an active form in roots.
- the inactive pro-pesticide (a glucuronide of hydroxymethyloxamyl) was applied to foliage and was then transported through plant phloem to roots, where it was converted to an active nematocidal form by glucuronidase.
- root-cortex specific promoters are useful for histological purposes, to identify or stain root-cortex tissue using a reporter gene such as B- glucurodinase.
- operatively associated refers to DNA sequences contained within a single DNA molecule which are associated so that the function of one is affected by the other.
- a promoter is operatively associated with a gene when it is capable of affecting the expression of that gene (i.e., the gene is under the transcriptional control of the promoter).
- the promoter is said to be “upstream” from the gene, which is in turn said to be “downstream” from the promoter.
- DNA constructs, or "expression cassettes,” of the present invention include, 5'-
- a promoter of the present invention in the direction of transcription, a promoter of the present invention, a heterologous DNA segment operatively associated with the promoter, and, optionally, transcriptional and translational termination regions such as a termination signal and/or a polyadenylation region.
- transcriptional and translational termination regions such as a termination signal and/or a polyadenylation region.
- These regulatory regions are preferably capable of operating in the transformed cells.
- the 3' termination region may be derived from the same gene as the transcriptional initiation region or from a different gene.
- Plants may be divided into those lacking chlorophyll (such as fungi) and those containing chlorophyll (such as green algae, mosses); and further divided into those containing chlorophyll and having vascular tissue (such as ferns, gymnosperms, conifers, monocots and dicots). The latter group of plants includes those in which roots, stems and leaves may be present.
- plant encompasses all such organisms described above.
- natural plant DNA means DNA isolated from non-genetically altered, or untransformed, plants (for example, plant varieties which are produced by selective breeding).
- heterologous gene or heterologous DNA segment means a gene (or DNA segment) which is used to transform a cell by genetic engineering techniques, and which may not occur naturally in the cell.
- Structural genes are those portions of genes which comprise a DNA segment coding for a protein, polypeptide, or portion thereof, possibly including a ribosome binding site and/or a translational start codon, but lacking a promoter. The term can also refer to copies of a structural gene naturally found within a cell but artificially introduced.
- Structural genes may encode a protein not normally found in the plant cell in which the gene is introduced or in combination with the promoter to which it is operationally associated.
- Genes which may be operationally associated with a promoter of the present invention for expression in a plant species may be derived from a chromosomal gene, cDNA, a synthetic gene, or combinations thereof.
- heterologous DNA segment also includes DNA segments coding for non- protein products, such as ribozymes or anti-sense RNAs.
- Antisense RNAs are well known (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,801,540 (Calgene, Inc.)).
- Genes of interest for use with the present invention in plants include those affecting a wide variety of phenotypic and non-phenotypic properties.
- phenotypic properties are proteins, such as enzymes, which provide resistance to various environmental stresses, including but not limited to stress caused by dehydration (resulting from heat, salinity or drought), herbicides, toxic metals, trace elements, pests and pathogens. Resistance may be due to a change in the target site, enhancement of the amount of a target protein in the host cell, increased amounts of one or more enzymes involved with the biosynthetic pathway of a product which protects the host against the stress, and the like.
- Structural genes may be obtained from prokaryotes or eukaryotes, bacteria, fungi, (e.g., from yeast, viruses, plants, and mammals) or may be synthesized in whole or in part.
- Illustrative genes include glyphosphate resistant 3-enolpyruvylphosphoshikinate synthase gene, nitrilase, genes in the proline and glutamine biosynthetic pathway, and metallothioneins.
- Structural genes operatively associated with the promoter of the present invention may be those which code for a protein toxic to insects, such as a Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein toxic to insects.
