Definitions
- the present invention relates to promoters which bring about a root-specific expression of coding nucleotide sequences controlled by them for tissue-specific gene expression in plants, expression cassettes, recombinant vectors and microorganisms which comprise such promoters, thus transformed transgenic plants, a process for producing transgenic plants and a process for Isolation of root-specific promoters.
- promoters are of great importance for the production of transgenic plants, since the specificity of a promoter is decisive for the point in time, in which tissue types and in what intensity a genetically transmitted structural gene is expressed.
- a large number of promoters which control the expression of foreign genes in plants are known.
- the most frequently used promoter is the 35S CaMV promoter (Franck et al, Cell 1 (1980), 285-294), which leads to a constitutive expression of the introduced gene.
- inducible promoters are also frequently used, for example for wound induction (DE-A-3843628), chemical induction (Ward et al., Plant Molec. Biol.
- promoters which mediate gene expression in root are the class H patatin promoter (Koester-Toepfer et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 219 (1989), 390-396), which after fusion with the reporter gene of the ⁇ -glucuronidase (GUS) gene shows a high expression in potato tubers and in certain cell layers of root tips.
- GUS fusion experiments with the agropine synthase promoter (ags) (Inoguchi et al., Plant Phys. 149 (1996), 73-78) also showed high GUS activity, especially in roots.
- promoters described are often problematic. Promoters which bring about a consumer expression of the genes controlled by them can be used, for example, to produce herbicide-tolerant and pathogen-resistant plants but the disadvantage that the products of the genes they control in all parts of the
- Plant present even in the harvested parts of the plant, which can be undesirable in some cases.
- Inducible promoters are also not without problems, since the induction conditions in agricultural plants in the field are typically difficult to control.
- genes that are to be regulated differently are required under the
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing agents which enable an organ-specific, preferably root-specific, gene expression of plants. These agents should be suitable, for example, for the expression of genes which influence the uptake of nutrients from the soil and of genes which modify the root growth.
- the present invention thus relates to a promoter selected from the group consisting of a) promoters which are listed under Seq ID No. 1, SEQ ED No. 2, SEQ ID No. 3, SEQ ED No. 4, SEQ ID No. 5 or SEQ ID No. Include 6 nucleic acid sequence given; b) promoters that contain a functional part of the Seq ID No. 1, SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID No. 3, SEQ ID No. 4, SEQ ID No. 5 or SEQ ID No. 6 comprise the nucleic acid sequence indicated and which bring about a root-specific expression in plants of a coding nucleotide sequence controlled by them; c) promoters which have a sequence which corresponds to one of those listed under Seq ID No.
- the promoters according to the invention are derived from or from plant genes.
- a “promoter” is understood to mean a DNA sequence which comprises the regulatory portion of a gene, preferably a structural gene.
- the "regulatory part” of a gene is understood to mean that part which determines the expression of the gene.
- a regulatory part has a sequence motif on which transcription factors and RNA polymerase assemble and initiate the transcription of the coding part of the gene.

- a “structural gene” is understood to mean a genetic unit composed of a regulatory and coding part, the gene product of which is a protein.
- the information for the primary amino acid sequence of the protein is contained in the coding portion of the structural gene, while the regulatory portion determines when and in what tissues the amounts of the transcript of the coding portion are formed, after the presentation of which the gene product is synthesized.
- the promoters according to the invention can originate, for example, from plant genes, be modified by recombinant DNA techniques and / or be produced synthetically.

- the various promoter fragments are preferably constructed in such a way that they do not encompass this 5 'upstream area (items 1-255, SEQ ED No. 7).
- the promoter according to the invention now allows root-specific gene expression of a coding nucleotide sequence controlled by the promoter. It is an interesting alternative to other root-specific promoters because it can also mediate gene expression in root hairs. Because of the larger surface area of the root hair compared to the root, there is the possibility that the expression of those genes whose gene products mediate, for example, the transport of nutrients and metabolites through the root hair cells can be manipulated more effectively with the aid of the promoter according to the invention.
- the promoter according to the invention can be used for the root-specific expression of those genes which mediate the absorption of, for example, heavy metal ions from contaminated soils. With the help of the promoter according to the invention it would thus be possible to produce transgenic plants which can be used in phytoremediation.

- the present invention also relates to promoters which have a functional part of this sequence and which bring about a root-specific expression of a coding nucleotide sequence controlled by them in plants.
- a "functional part” is understood to mean those sequences which, despite a different nucleotide sequence, still have the desired functions, such as e.g. Have promoter activity and tissue or organ specificity.
- a measure of the promoter activity is, for example, the expression rate determined for a specific marker gene which is under the regulatory control of the promoter according to the invention.
- suitable marker genes are the ⁇ -glucuronidase (GUS) gene from E. coli or the green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene (Baulcombe et al., Plant J. 7 (16) (1993), 1045 - 1053).

- a functional part is also understood to mean, in particular, natural or artificial mutations in an originally isolated promoter sequence which continue to show the desired functions. Mutations include substitutions, additions, deletions, exchanges and / or insertions of one or more nucleotide residues.
- the present invention also encompasses those nucleotide sequences which can be obtained by modifying the sequence shown under Seq ED No. 1, SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ED No. 3, SEQ ED No. 4, SEQ ID No. 5 or SEQ ED No. 6 nucleotide sequence specified can be obtained. The aim of such a modification can e.g. further narrowing down the promoter sequence contained therein or e.g. also be the insertion of further restriction interfaces.
- Functional parts of a promoter sequence also include those promoter variants whose promoter activity is weakened or enhanced compared to the wild type.
- the activity of a eukaryotic RNA polymerase II promoter is caused by the synergistic interaction of various tr ⁇ «5-active factors (DNA binding proteins) which bind to the various cis-regulatory DNA elements present in the promoter. These factors interact directly or indirectly with single or multiple factors of the basal transcription machinery, which ultimately leads to the formation of a pre-initiation complex in the vicinity of the transcription start site (Drapkin et al., Current Opinion in Cell Biology 5 (1993), 469-476).
- RNA polymerase II promoters eukaryotic RNA polymerase II promoters
- different cw elements modules
- This modular structure was illustrated, for example, by promoter studies with the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter (Benfey and Chua, Science 250 (1990), 959-966; Benfey et al., EMBO J. 9 (1990) , 1677-1684; Benfey et al, EMBO J. 9 (1990), 1685-1696).

- a minimal promoter is understood to mean a DNA sequence, a TATA box which is approximately 20 to 30 base pairs upstream from the transcription start site, or an initiator sequence (Smale and Baltimore, Cell 57 (1989), 103-113; Zawel and Reinberg , Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 44 (1993), 67-108; Conaway and Conaway, Annu. Rev. Biochem 62 (1993), 161-190).
- minimal promoters are, for example, the -63 to +8 ⁇ 35S promoter (Frohberg, dissertation at the FU Berlin FB Biologie (1994)), the -332 to +14 minimal Patatin Classl promoter and the -176 to + 4- Minimal PetE promoter (Pwee et al, Plant J. 3 (1993), 437-449.)

- ED No. 6 indicated nucleotide sequences that impart root specificity.
- the effectiveness of a subdomain or a c ⁇ element can be significantly increased by multimerization.
- the CaMV-35S promoter for example, dimerization of a 250 bp fragment in tandem arrangement resulted in a tenfold increase in promoter activity (Kay et al., Science 230 (1987), 1299-1302).
- subdomain B5 of the CaMV-35S promoter there was a significant increase in activity of the promoter construct when this domain was present as a tetramer and not as a monomer (Benfey et al, EMBO J. 9 (1990), 1685-1696).

Comparing the tissue specificity of different extensin genes from different plants, it is found that the expression pattern of extensin genes can vary significantly depending on the type of plant examined, the cell type and the tissue type (Showalter et al, Plant Mol. Biol. 19 (1992) , 205-215). In soybean, HRGPs are most strongly expressed in meristematic cells.

- a PCR product of approx. 3270 bp was produced using the following primers: 42Xba (5'-GAGATCTAGACCATGGAGAAGAATTGG-3 ⁇ SEQ ID No. 11) and 42Sal (5'-GAGAGTCGACGGGCGAATTGGGTACCG-3 ', SEQ ID No. 12) .
- the PCR conditions were: 20 sec at 94 ° C. melting of the DNA, 45 sec at 50 ° C. installation of the primers, 2 min at 72 ° C. DNA synthesis using Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene, Germany).
- the PCR product was cloned directly into the plasmid pCR-Script according to the manufacturer's instructions (Stratagene, Germany).
- the PCR product was smoothed with the Klenow enzyme [Sambrook, 1989 # 68] and cloned into Sm ⁇ l and dephosphorylated pBluescript II SK " plasmid.
- the plasmid was digested with BstXI and Linear shortening of the PCR product using exonuclease III and S1 nuclease from the 5 'end in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol (Fermentas, Lithuania) produced shortened genomic fragments of the following approximate length: 2.2 kb, 1.7 kb, 1.4 kb, 1.1 kb , 0.9 kb and 0.55 kb.
- the AKI ⁇ -GUS-3'NOS cassette from the plasmid 5 ⁇ KT1-320.X (Lagarde et al, Plant J. 9 (1996), 195-203) was isolated with Sacl, by means of mung bean nuclease Treatment smoothed (New England BioLabs Inc., Bioconcept, Switzerland) and digested again with Ncol
- the resulting GUS-3' ⁇ OS cassette was digested in NcoI / EcoRV and dephosphorylated pBluescript II SK " plasmids containing the truncated genomic fragments kloni ert.
- the promoter-GUS-3'NOS cassettes thus produced were isolated from the respective plasmid by digestion with Sacl and S ⁇ I and digested and dephosphorylated binary vector Binl9 in Sac ⁇ / Sa (Bevan et al, Nucleic Acids Research 12 (1984), 8711) cloned.
- the contracts obtained were called BIN- ⁇ genx-GUS in the following, where x is the respective fragment length 2.2 kb (SEQ ED No. 1), 1.7 kb (SEQ ID No. 2), 1.4 kb (SEQ ID No. 3), 1.1 kb (SEQ ED No. 4), 0.9 kb (SEQ ED No. 5) or 0.55 kb (SEQ ED No. 6).
- Example 4 Plant transformation
- Agrobacteria were grown on YEB medium (Vervliet et al., Journal of General Virology 26
- the tobacco and tomato plants were transformed by the method of gene transfer mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, as by
- Rosahl et al. (EMBO J. 6 (1987), 1155-1159) for tobacco and by Lillatti et al.
- constructs described above were furthermore introduced by electroporation into the A. rhizogenes strain 15834 (Jung et al., Biotechnol Lett 14 (1992), 695-700) and then for the transformation of Catharanthus roseus by means of Agrobacterium rhizogenes based on Toivonen et al. (Plant Cell Tissue Org. Cult. 18 (1988), 79 ff.).
- the plant material was vacuum-filtered with a 0.1% X-Gluc solution (pre-dissolve 0.1 g of X-Gluc in 1 ml of dimethylformamide, 1 ml of 10% Triton and 5 ml of 1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2 and make up to 100 ml with still water) and incubated overnight at 37 ° C. After staining, the plants were fixed in 3: 1 ethanoic acetic acid and decolored in 100% ethanol. Green parts of the plant became colorless, while the blue dye remains stable; see Figure 3.
- X-Gluc solution pre-dissolve 0.1 g of X-Gluc in 1 ml of dimethylformamide, 1 ml of 10% Triton and 5 ml of 1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2 and make up to 100 ml with still water
- the GUS activity in leaves was compared to that in roots according to the method described by Jefferson et al. (EMBO J. 6 (1987), 3901-3907).
- GUS activity in roots is between 20 and 300 times higher than in mature leaves.
- Most of the GUS-positive potato plants examined showed strong GUS activity in the roots, but no GUS activity in mature leaves.
- the GUS activities were compared to those of the 35S promoter. The lines with the strongest activity of the promoter had about half as much activity compared to the CaMV 35S promoter.
