Definitions

  • the invention is directed to materials and methods which produce transgenic plants containing only desired foreign genes and which are free of unwanted or irrelevant selection genes. Advantage is taken of recombinase systems which permit the excision and segregation of selection gene DNA from introduced genetic material.
  • Transgenic plants have been obtained which are insect resistant, for example, due to the presence of a gene from Bacillus thurin ⁇ iensis that confers such insect resistance.
  • the nutritional value of various plants has also been improved by insertion of genes encoding proteins rich in desired amino acids.
  • Introduction of genes encoding viral resistance mechanisms, herbicide resistance mechanisms, improved growth characteristics and the like are all desirable outcomes that can be achieved within the parameters of conventional technology in at least illustrative cases. Included within the parameters of current technology is, however, the necessity of transferring, along with the desired DNA, DNA encoding a selection gene and means for its expression to permit the efficient recovery of successful transformants.
  • the present invention removes this source of environmental impact uncertainty by providing a method for excision and segregation of the selection gene which, after the initial transformation, has outlived its usefulness.
  • the invention takes advantage of recombinase systems which are capable of excising marked DNA sequences.
  • Cre/lox system One efficient system for excision of unwanted DNA sequences that has been widely employed generally is the Cre/lox system.
  • This system illustrative of the general process, comprises "lox" marker sequences that, when included in a DNA sequence per se, mark the DNA which they bracket for excision or inversion (depending on the orientation of the lox sequences) by a corres ⁇ ponding "Cre" recombinase enzyme.
  • recombinase/marker systems are available from a variety of sources and are functional in a number of hosts.
  • the present invention specifically takes advantage of such recombinase/marker systems to excise and segregate selection genes in higher plants.
  • the invention includes a means to control the nature of transgenic plants so as to provide plants which contain only the desired transgenic material and lack the selection genes useful in conducting the transformations necessary for their preparation.
  • the resulting plants thus have more predictable environmental effects than those previously available in the art.
  • the invention methods take advantage of recombinase/marker systems for excision and segregation of selection marker genes.
  • the invention is directed to vectors suitable for transformation of higher plants which comprise selection genes marked by DNA marker sequences which form a part of a recombinase/marker system.
  • the selection gene is further linked to control sequences which are capable of effecting its expression so that it can be used in the selection of transformed plants prior to excision.
  • the invention also includes these vectors that further contain an expression system for a desired gene.
  • the invention is also directed to plant cells or cultures in regenerated plants transformed with the vectors of the invention and to plant cells and plants which are further transformed with expression vectors that include the gene for the recombinase enzyme associated with the recombinase marker system.
  • the invention is also directed to methods to produce such transformants and to segregate the selection gene from the desired gene in progeny.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic showing the construction of pED37 and pED53. As indicated in Figure 1, the pED37 oriented as shown will be inserted into the Sail site of pED53 in the recombined vector pED53: :pED37.
  • Figure 2A shows the positioning of the insert from pED53::pED37 into the host genome and the expected sizes of PCR products obtained from primers as described in the examples hereinbelow.
  • Figure 2B shows the expected orientation of this insert in the gene after excision of the hpt selection gene. The expected PCR product size is also shown.
  • Figure 3 shows the sequence of the amplified portions indicated in Figures 2A and 2B.
  • the invention is directed to methods which result in transgenic plants that are capable of expressing a desired gene but that are free of genes associated with the transformation process as "selectable markers.”
  • the invention methods provide, therefore, plants having conferred characteristics which are limited to those desired to be achieved by the transformation and not associated with unrelated, and perhaps unwanted selection characteristics.
  • plants are obtained by either of two related methods. Both methods require that the selection gene associated with the initial transformation with the desired gene be operably linked to marker DNA sequences that mark the gene for excision mediated by a corresponding recombinase enzyme. In both methods, therefore, plants or plant cells are initially transformed with a recombinant vector which contains a selection characteristic gene operably linked to marker
  • the vector further includes an expression system which comprises the desired gene operably linked to appropriate control sequences.
  • the expression systems must be operable in higher plant cells.
  • initially transformed plant cells or plants can be further transformed in a second round of transformation with a second recombinant vector which contains the recombinase gene that corresponds to the DNA sequences that mark the selection gene for excision.
  • a second selection gene needs to be included so that the second round of transformation can be verified.
  • the successful second transformants for the most part, will be free of the first selection marker due to the operation of the recombinase product of the recombinase gene.
  • progeny are screened for freedom from the second selection marker as well.
  • the second selection marker is not linked to the desired gene construct, it is segregated from the desired gene in the progeny.
  • this first approach is conducted by transformation of plant cells, and regenerating the screened progeny into intact plants.
  • the second transformants can first be regenerated into plants and self-pollinated to produce the segregated progeny.
  • regenerated plants from the first and second transformations (which are conducted independently) are cross-pollinated to effect the excision of the first selection marker.
  • the progeny of the products of this cross-pollination that show expression of the desired gene can then be screened for the absence of the second selection gene. As the desired gene and the second selection gene are not linked, segregation occurs in these second generation progeny.
  • selection characteristic gene refers to a gene which produces a product that confers on a host containing it a selectable property such as herbicide or antibiotic resistance.
  • Suitable selection genes for methods of the invention include genes encoding hygromycin resistance (the hpt gene) or kanamycin resistance (nptll gene) and any other gene which confers such characteristics on higher plant cells.
  • a “desired gene” is a gene that may encode a protein or an RNA, the presence of which is desired in the finished plant. Such genes may include those encoding seed storage proteins, those encoding insect resistance, or any other gene which is thought to confer desired characteristics on the plant containing it.
  • expression system has its usual meaning--i.e. , DNA which contains the coding sequence of a gene operably linked to control systems which effect the expression of the gene in the higher plant cells.
  • control sequences include a promoter, and optionally, additional sequences which aid in expression such as polyadenylation sites, or other appropriate control sequences.
  • Marker DNA sequences refer to sequences that, when present in proper orientation with respect to included DNA, mark the gene for excision or inversion when in the presence of an appropriate corresponding enzyme.
  • Corresponding recombinase refers to the enzyme which is capable of recognizing the marker DNA sequences and excising or inverting the included DNA. Illustrated herein is the system that includes the lox DNA sequences corresponding to the ere recombinase enzyme, but a multiplicity of such systems are known. These are reviewed, for example, by Craig, Annual Review of Genetics (1988) 22.:77-105. Any such system operable in higher plants may be used.
  • control regions which are functional either constitutively are employed.
  • Transcription initiation regions include the various opine initiation regions, such as octopine, mannopine, nopaline and the like.
  • Plant viral promoters can also be used, such as the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter.
  • a large number of suitable control systems are available.
  • the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter has been shown to be highly active in many plant organs and during many stages of development when integrated into the genome of transgenic plants including tobacco and petunia, and has been shown to confer expression in protoplasts of both dicots and monocots.
  • Organ-specific promoters are also well known, but may be less convenient.
  • the E8 promoter is only transcriptionally activated during tomato fruit ripening, and can be used to target gene expression in ripening tomato fruit (Deikman and Fischer, EMBO J (1988) 7:3315; Giovannoni et al., The Plant Cell (1989) 1:53).
  • the activity of the E8 promoter is not limited to tomato fruit, but is thought to be compatible with any system wherein ethylene activates biological processes.
  • Either a constitutive promoter (such as the CaMV or Nos promoter illustrated above) or a desired organ-specific promoter (such as the E8 promoter from tomato) is then ligated to the gene to be expressed using standard techniques now common in the art.
  • the expression system may be further optimized by employing supplemental elements such as transcription terminators and/or enhancer elements.
  • the recombinant expression cassette will contain in addition to the coding sequence, a plant promoter region, a transcription initiation site (if the coding sequence to be transcribed lacks one) , and a transcription termination sequence.
  • TATAAT TATAAT
  • bp base pairs upstream of the transcription start site.
  • the start site is called +1. Sequences extending in the 5' (upstream) - direction are given negative numbers and sequences extending in the 3' (downstream) direction are given positive numbers.
  • the promoter is preferably positioned about the same distance from the heterologous transcription start site as it is from the transcription start site in its natural setting. As is known in the art, however, some variation in this distance can be accommodated without loss of promoter function.
  • any of a number of promoters which direct transcription in plant cells is suitable.
  • the promoter can be either constitutive or inducible.
  • Promoters of bacterial origin include the octopine synthase promoter, the nopaline synthase promoter and other promoters derived from native Ti plasmids (Herrera-Estrella et al., Nature (1983) 3_03.:209-213) .
  • Viral promoters include the 35S and 19S RNA promoters of cauliflower mosaic virus (O'Dell et al.. Nature (1985) 313:810-812) .
  • Plant promoters include the ribulose-l,3-disphosphate carboxylase small subunit promoter and the phaseolin promoter.
  • the expres- sion cassette should also contain a transcription termination region downstream of the structural gene to provide for efficient termination.
  • the termination region may be obtained from the same gene as the promoter sequence or may be obtained from different genes.
  • DNA sequences which direct polyadenylation of the RNA are also commonly added to the vector construct (Alber and Kawasaki, Mol and Appl Genet. (1982) 1:419-434) .
  • Polyadenylation is of importance for expression of the transcription product RNA in plant cells. Polyadenylation sequences include, but are not limited to the Agrobacterium octopine synthase signal (Gielen et al., EMBO J. (1984) 1:835-846) or the nopaline synthase signal (Depicker et al., Mol and Appl Genet (1982) 1,561-573) .
  • the resulting expression system or cassette is ligated into or otherwise constructed to be included in a recombinant vector which is appropriate for higher plant transformation.
  • the vector will also contain an expression system for a selection gene by which transformed plant cells can be identified in culture.
  • the selection gene will encode antibiotic resistance, e.g., resistance to G418, hygromycin, bleomycin, kanamycin, and gentamicin. After transforming the plant cells, those cells having the vector will be identified by their ability to grow on a medium containing the particular antibiotic.
  • Replication sequences of bacterial or viral origin, are generally also included to allow the vector to be cloned in a bacterial or phage host, preferably a broad host range procaryotic origin of replication is included.
  • a selection gene suitable for bacteria should also be included to allow selection of bacterial cells bearing the desired construct. Suitable procaryotic selection genes also include resistance to antibiotics such as kanamycin or tetracycline.
  • DNA sequences encoding additional func- tions may also be present in the vector, as is known in the art.
  • T-DNA sequences will also be included for subsequent transfer to plant chromosomes.
  • vectors can also be constructed that contain in-frame ligations between the coding sequence of the desired gene and sequences encoding other molecules of interest resulting in fusion proteins, by techniques well known in the art.
  • transgenic plants are prepared which contain the desired expression system.
  • a number of techniques are available for transformation of plants or plant cells. All types of plants are appropriate subjects for "direct” transformation; in general, only dicots can be transformed using Agrobacterium-mediated infection.

  • the genetic material is transferred into the plant cell using polyethylene glycol (Krens, et al., Nature (1982) 296:72-74) , or high velocity ballistic penetration by small particles with the nucleic acid either within the matrix of small beads or particles, or on the surface, is used (Klein, et al., Nature (1987) 327:70-73) .
  • protoplasts are fused with other entities which contain the DNA whose introduction is desired. These entities are minicells, cells, lysosomes or other fusible lipid-surfaced bodies (Fraley, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1982)
  • DNA may also be introduced into the plant cells by electroporation (Fromm et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1985) 32:5824) .
  • plant protoplasts are electroporated in the presence of plasmids containing the expression cassette. Electrical impulses of high field strength reversibly permeabilize biomembranes allowing the introduction of the plasmids. Electroporated plant protoplasts reform the cell wall, divide, and regenerate.
  • a plant cell For transformation mediated by bacterial infec ⁇ tion, a plant cell is infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens or A. rhizogenes previously transformed with the DNA to be introduced.
  • Agrobacterium is a representative genus of the gram-negative family Rhizobiaceae. Its species are responsible for crown gall (A. tumefaciens) and hairy root disease (A. rhizogenes) .
  • the plant cells in crown gall tumors and hairy roots are induced to produce amino acid derivatives known as opines, which are catabolized only by the bacteria.
  • the bacterial genes responsible for expression of opines are a convenient source of control elements for chimeric expression cassettes.
  • assaying for the presence of opines can be used to identify transformed tissue.
  • Heterologous genetic sequences can be introduced into appropriate plant cells, by means of the Ti plasmid of A. tumefaciens or the Ri plasmid of A. rhizogenes.
  • the Ti or Ri plasmid is transmitted to plant cells on infection by Agrobacterium and is stably integrated into the plant genome (Schell, J., Science (1987) 237:1176-1183) .
  • Ti and Ri plasmids contain two regions essential for the production of transformed cells. One of these, named transferred DNA (T-DNA) , is transferred to plant nuclei and induces tumor or root formation. The other, termed the virulence (vir) region, is essential for the transfer of the T-DNA but is not itself transferred.
  • T-DNA transferred DNA
  • vir virulence
  • the T-DNA will be transferred into a plant cell even if the vir region is on a different plasmid (Hoekema, et al., Nature (1983) 303:179-189) .
  • the transferred DNA region can be increased in size by the insertion of heterologous DNA without its ability to be transferred being affected.
  • a modified Ti or Ri plasmid in which the disease-causing genes have been deleted, can be used as a vector for the transfer of the • gene constructs of this invention into an appropriate plant cell. Construction of recombinant Ti and Ri plasmids in general follows methods typically used with the more common bacterial vectors, such as pBR322. Additional use can be made of accessory genetic elements sometimes found with the native plasmids and sometimes constructed from foreign sequences.
  • shuttle vectors may include but are not limited to "shuttle vectors,” (Ruvkum and Ausubel, Nature (1981) 211:85-88), promoters (Lawton et al., Plant Mol Biol (1987) 9_:315-324) and structural genes for antibiotic resistance as a selection factor (Fraley et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci (1983) 10:4803-4807) .

  • the first requires an established culture system that allows for culturing protoplasts and subsequent plant regeneration from cultured protoplasts.
  • the second method requires (a) that the intact plant tissues, such as cotyledons, can be transformed by
  • Agrobacterium and (b) that the transformed cells or tis ⁇ sues can be induced to regenerate into whole plants.
  • Most dicot species can be transformed by
  • a g robacterium as all species which are a natural plant host for Agrobacterium are transformable in vitro.
  • Identification of transformed cells or plants is generally accomplished by including a selectable marker in the transforming vector, or by obtaining evidence of successful bacterial infection.
  • Plant cells which have been transformed can also be regenerated using known techniques.
  • Means for regeneration vary from species to species of plants, but generally a suspension of transformed protoplasts or a petri plate containing transformed explants is first provided. Callus tissue is formed and shoots may be induced from callus and subsequently rooted. Alternatively, somatic embryo formation can be induced in the callus tissue. These somatic embryos germinate as natural embryos to form plants.
  • the culture media will generally contain various amino acids and plant hormones, such as auxin and cytokinins. It is also advantageous to add glutamic acid and proline to the medium, especially for such species as corn and alfalfa. Efficient regeneration will depend on the medium, on the genotype, and on the history of the culture. If these three variables are controlled, then regeneration is usually reproducible and repeatable.
  • the expression cassette After the expression cassette is stably incorporated into regenerated transgenic plants, it can be transferred to other plants by sexual crossing. Any of a number of standard breeding techniques can be used, depending upon the species to be crossed.
  • Plasmid pED23 which contains the expression system for the ere gene was constructed as described by Dale, E.D. and Ow, D.W., Gene (1990) 11:79-85. This plasmid uses a pUC19 host vector (Yanich-Perron, C. et al. Gene (1985) 11:103-119) and utilizes a 35S promoter to transcribe a Cre-nos3' fusion.
  • the plasmid pED53 is constructed from the Agrobacterium gene transfer vector pBIN19, the construction of which was described by Bevan, M. , Nucleic Acids Res (1984) 12:8711-8721. To convert pBIN19 to pED53, a 1.3 kb Pstl fragment was deleted. The deletion removes part of the T-DNA including the coding region of the kanamycin resistance gene (nptll) along with Hindlll and Sphl sites. Plasmid pED37 was constructed from pED26, which contains the luciferase expression system and has been described by Dale, E.C. and Ow, D.W.
  • the co-integrate plasmid pED53::pED37 was formed by linearizing pED37 at an Xhol site adjacent to one of the lox sites and inserting it into the Sail site of pED53.
  • pED37 contains the 35S promoter operably linked to the luciferase gene which is in turn terminated by the nos3' sequence. Bracketed by the lox sites are ampicillin resistance, and the hpt expression system.
  • the pED37 is co-integrated into pED53 between the right and left border (RB and LB) regions in the orientation shown.
  • the co-integrate plasmid which supplies the ere gene, pBINl9: :pED23 was obtained by ligating the Hindlll linearized pED23 into the Hindlll site of pBIN19 so that the transcription of the ere gene is directed toward the Agrobacterium LB.
  • the co-integrate plasmids were selected by ability to confer resistance to both kanamycin and ampicillin in bacteria. This selection is facilitated by transformation into the J . coli polymerase I-deficient host JZ294 (argH, strA, polA: :Tnl0) which permits replication of the wide host range replicons of pED53 and pBIN19 but not the ColEl replicons of pED37 and pED23.
  • the co-integrate plasmids pED53::pED37 and pBIN19: :pED23 were mobilized into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3111(pTiB6S3SE) for infection of Nicotiana tabacum (Wisconsin-38 cultivar) leaf explants as described by Horsch, R.B. et al. Science (1985) 227:229-231. Hyg and Kan plants were scored for the ability of leaf explants to form shoots on shoot- inducing MS media containing antibiotics (20 ⁇ g/ml hygromycin sulfate or 100 ⁇ g/ml kanamycin sulfate) .
  • Luc + plants were assayed for luciferase activity as described by Ow, D.W. et al., Science (1986) 14:856-859.
  • ntED5337 hygromycin-resistant plants were obtained from transformation with pED53: :pED37. These are designated “ntED5337” plants. These plants contain the luciferase expression system and the hpt expression system incorporated into the genome in the configuration shown in Figure 2A. This was verified by genetic analysis as described below. The ntED5337 plants express the luciferase gene, and are hygromycin-resistant as required by the selection protocol.
  • ntED5337 plants were transfected, using the protocol described above, with pED23. Successful transformants will be selectable for kanamycin resistance and are capable of production of the ere enzyme. The resulting transformants were thus selected by kanamycin . resistance and the kanamycin-resistant plants were then tested for hygromycin resistance as described above. Most of them, designated ntED5337-23, were hygromycin- sensitive. This showed that the introduction of the ere enzyme catalyzed recombination of the lox sites flanking the hygromycin resistance gene. The deleted DNA, no longer linked to the replicating host chromosome, is lost in the progeny cells deriving from the primary cell where the excision event occurred.
  • ntED5337-23 plant cells or the regenerated plants express the gene encoding luciferase, however.
  • plants regenerated from independent transformations by pED23::pED37 and pBIN19: :pED23, respectively, were cross- pollinated to obtain progeny.
  • progeny Of 316 progeny examined, 78 produced luciferase and were kanamycin-resistant. Among these, 42 were hygromycin-sensitive. These 42 plants are substantially equivalent to those regenerated from the cellular progeny ntED5337-23.
  • DNA was prepared by grinding leaf tissues in liquid N 2 , extracting with 100 mM Tris/1% SDS/50 mM EDTA/500 mM NaCl/10 mM 3-mercaptoethanol at 65°C, 10 min. , followed by adding potassium acetate to 1.3 M, chilling to 0°C and removing the debris by centrifugation.

  • the two primers for detection of the ere gene (5' -ATGTCCAATTTACTGACCGT-3' and
  • 5'-CTAATCGCCATCTTCCAGCA-3' represent the N and C- terminal ere coding sequence and the expected PCR product size is 1.0 kb.
  • fragments from PCR reactions were purified, digested with appropriate restriction enzymes (A+B; BamHI/Ndel, C+D; Pstl/BamHI, A+D; Clal/BamHI) and ligated into either pUC19 (for A+B and C+D) or pBR322 (for A+D) .
  • nucleotide sequences of the regions surrounding the lox sites derived form PCR reactions from plants ntED5337 and ntED5337-23 were determined by the dideoxy method as modified by U.S. Biochemical (Sequenase kit) .
  • This band corresponds to the fragment expected from the joining of the chimeric luciferase gene with the sequence adjacent to the LB.
  • Primers E+F were used to assay for the possibility that the hygromycin resistance gene might have translocated elsewhere in the genome; a fragment corresponding to the expected 0.56 kb band was found in the parent, but not in the descendent ntED5337-23. Thus, the excised hygromycin gene is not present in the genome at all. The excision event also removes the silent ampicillin resistance marker from the plant genome. Of five plants examined, the PCR profiles showed no indication of harboring both excised and intact copies as shown in Figure 2A and 2B suggesting that the excision must have occurred early between introduction of the ere-expressing construct and plant organogenesis.
  • ntED5337 derived fragments produced from PCR amplification by primers A+B and primers C+D, as well as the ntED5337-23 derived fragment from primers A+D were cloned into plasmid vectors.
  • Figure 3 shows the experimentally obtained sequences of the three different lox-containing regions.
  • the lox regions derived form primers A+B and C+D share 80 bp of identity that include the 34 kb lox sequence, but diverge outside of this segment.
  • each parental lox sequence is adjacent to one characteristic restriction site, either Sail or BamHI, but on opposite sides of the lox sequence.
  • the lox sequence of the PCR product derived from primers A+D from ntED5337-23 DNA is flanked by both restriction sites and by sequences found in opposing sides of each of the parental ntED5337 lox sites.
  • the recombination event within plant chromatin was conservative, i.e., without loss or alteration of the lox sequence or its flanking DNA. To our knowledge, this is the first description at the nucleotide sequence level of cre/lox- catalyzed recombination in eucaryotic chromosomal DNA.
  • ntED5337-23 plants were self-pollinated to allow segregation of the luciferase gene from the ere locus which also harbors the linked nptll selection gene. Approximately 100 1 germinated seedlings from each self- pollinated plant were scored for luciferase activity. In both cases, about 3/4 of the total progeny produced luciferase and among these, approximately 1/4 were expected to be sensitive to kanamycin. This was the case with the progeny from one plant. From the second plant, however, only 1 out of approximately every luciferase producer progeny was sensitive to kanamycin.

Abstract

Méthodes et matériaux pour la production de plantes transgéniques qui ne sont transgéniques qu'à l'égard de gènes étrangers dont on souhaite l'inclusion et ne comportant pas de gènes possédant des propriétés de sélection. On se sert des systèmes qui marquent l'ADN en vue de l'excision en combinaison avec les enzymes qui servent de médiateurs à l'excision pour séparer les gènes de sélection des gènes de transfert souhaité. En particulier, le système cre/lox du bactériophage P1 est utilisé pour illustrer cette méthode.
