Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the controlled elimination of a desired DNA sequence in a host organism, preferably a transgenic plant, characterized in that in step (I) the host organism with (a) the 5 'and 3' recombinations to be eliminated later DNA sequences flanked DNA sequence and (b) a ligand-binding-domain-recombinase-fusion protein (Rec-LBD) encoding these recombinant DNA sequences, which is transformed under conditions under the control of an inducible promoter to which the inducible promoter is repressed, the ligand specifically binding to Rec-LBD being absent; and in step (II) the DNA sequence to be eliminated is eliminated via the expression of Rec-LBD by activating the inducible promoter and the activation of Rec-LBD by adding the ligand which specifically binds to Rec-LBD at the desired point in time.
  • step (I) the host organism with (a) the 5 'and 3' recombinations to be eliminated later DNA sequence
  • the DNA sequence to be eliminated codes for a marker gene or acts as a transcription or translation stop sequence.
  • the present invention also relates to the above sequences (a) and (b) containing vectors and host organisms, which are preferably transgenic plants.
  • sequence-specific recombinases have been used in transgenic plants for the development of marker gene removal systems. Promoters that were inducible by chemicals were used here in particular. However, various embodiments of tetracycline-repressed or -induced promoters were found to be insufficiently suitable for reliably suppressing uncontrolled premature activation of the recombinase. However, the presence of the selectable marker gene is absolutely necessary for the selection of homogeneous, transgenic plants from the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation over a long period of time, since otherwise chimeric plants are formed, some of which are from transgenic cells and some are of non-transgenic mature ones Cells exist.
  • non-transgenic cells can be sorted out via the pollen or the progeny produced by fertilization and broken down in accordance with Mendel's rules. However, this leads to a considerable Chen reduction in technical efficiency in the development of transgenic plant lines solely for marker gene removal.
  • a recombinase-induced "gene switch system” can be used for "molecular farming", as has been described in principle with a tissue-specific regulated promoter. If the repression system were not controllable, the containment would not be sufficiently reliable, e.g. for the molecular farming of therapeutic proteins.

  • a bidirectional constitutive promoter was used to control the gene to be activated.

  • the Rec-LBD system was cloned behind the free second promoter position. After induction of Rec-LBD by adding the ligand, the marker gene sequence was eliminated, the gene to be activated coming under the control of the constitutive promoter.
  • the restriction to a single control system is problematic here as well, and reading through from the constitutive promoter through the marker gene into the gene to be activated can also take place.
  • the invention is essentially based on the technical problem of providing an elimination system based on the Rec system for a desired DNA sequence which does not have the disadvantages of the methods described in the prior art, i.e. Above all, it ensures that the suppression of recombinase activity, as long as desired, is complete and can be achieved in a desired host organism.
  • the transcription of the gene coding for the recombinase is repressed by an inducible promoter which, for example, only becomes active under anaerobic conditions.
  • the gene also codes for a recombinase-LBD fusion protein which is inactivated as long as no ligand is present. Residual transcription and the residual activity of the Rec-LBD fusion protein in transgenic plants are minimized by the synergistic repression effect.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour éliminer de manière contrôlée une séquence d'ADN voulue dans un organisme hôte, de préférence dans une plante transgénique. Ce procédé repose sur l'utilisation d'une protéine hybride « domaine de liaison du ligand-recombinase » (Rec-LBD). L'élimination de la séquence d'ADN voulue ne s'effectue qu'après expression de la Rec-LBD active par activation du promoteur inductible sous le contrôle duquel se trouve le gène codant la Rec-LBD, et par addition du ligand se fixant spécifiquement à la Rec-LBD. De préférence, la séquence d'ADN à éliminer code pour un gène marqueur ou agit en tant que séquence d'arrêt de transcription ou de translation. L'invention concerne également des vecteurs ou des organismes hôtes, de préférence des plantes transgéniques, appropriés pour ledit procédé.
