Definitions

  • the present invention relates to DNA constructs and plants incorporating them.
  • it relates to promoter sequences and their use in the expression of genes which confer insecticidal activity on plants.
  • B. thuringiensis which produces a crystal-associated protein ⁇ endotoxin which kills insect larvae upon ingestion. It is not, however, toxic to mammals. It is thus very useful as an agricultural insecticide.
  • Many strains of B. thuringiensis are active against insect pests, and the genes encoding for the insect endotoxins have been characterised.
  • the B. thuringiensis ⁇ endotoxins include those specifically insecticidal to Lepidopteran larvae (such as the Cryl type proteins), those specifically insecticidal to Coleopteran larvae (such as the Crylll type proteins) and those with dual specificity for Lepidoptera and Coleoptera (such as CryV).
  • Chimeric proteins comprising at least part of a B. thuringiensis endotoxin have also been proposed with the aim of improving the properties ofthe endotoxin in some way, for example improved speed of kill.
  • Transgenic plants expressing genes which encode for the insecticidal endotoxins are also known.
  • Other ways of damaging insects include stimulating plant metabolic pathways which produce metabolites which are insecticidal.
  • insect resistance genes such as B. thuringiensis endotoxins
  • the inducible regulation of insect resistance genes will reduce the risk of development of resistant pests.
  • insecticidal gene expression can be induced only at the point in the growing season where protection is required.
  • switchable insect tolerance can be used as a part of an integrated pest management system, in which chemical treatments to induce insecticidal gene expression can be alternated with standard insecticidal pesticide treatments.
  • the switch chemical could be added to standard insecticide formulations to give both a chemical and gene effect, thus killing insects by two independent mechanisms.
  • an inducible gene regulation system (gene switch) based on the alcR regulatory protein from Aspergillus nidulans which activates genes expression from the ale A promoter in the presence of certain alcohols and ketones. This system is described in our International Patent Publication No. WO93/21334 which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the alcA/alcR gene activation system from the fungus Aspergillus nidulans is also well characterised.
  • the ethanol utilisation pathway in A. nidulans is responsible for the degradation of alcohols and aldehydes.
  • Genes ale A and /cR have been shown to lie close together on linkage group VII and aldA maps to linkage group VIII (Pateman JH et al, 1984, Proc. Soc. Lond., B217:243-264; Sealy-Lewis HM and Lockington RA, 1984, Curr. Genet. 8:253- 259).
  • Gene alcA encodes ADHI in A. nidulans and aldA encodes AldDH, the second enzyme responsible for ethanol utilisation.
  • ale A and aldA are induced by ethanol and a number of other inducers (Creaser EH et al, 1984, Biochemical J., 255:449- 454) via the transcription activator alcR.
  • the alcR gene and a co-inducer are responsible for the expression of ale A and aldA since a number of mutations and deletions in alcR result in the pleiotropic loss of ADHI and aldDH (Felenbok B et al, 1988, Gene, 73:385-396; Pateman et al, 1984; Sealy-Lewis & Lockington, 1984).
  • the ALCR protein activates expression from ale A by binding to three specific sites in the ale A promoter (Kulmberg P et al, 1992, J. Biol. Chem, 267:21146-21153).
  • the alcR gene was cloned (Lockington RA et al, 1985, Gene, 33:137-149) and sequenced (Felenbok et al, 1988).
  • the expression ofthe alcR gene is inducible, autoregulated and subject to glucose repression mediated by the CREA repressor (Bailey C and Arst HN, 1975, Eur. J. Biochem. 51:573-577; Lockington RA et al, 1987, ?/. Microbiology, 1 :275- 281; Dowzer C ⁇ A and Kelly JM, 1989, Curr. Genet. 15:457-459; Dowzer C ⁇ A and Kelly JM, 1991, Mol. Cell. Biol. 11 :5701-5709).
  • the ALCR regulatory protein contains 6 cysteines near its N terminus co-ordinated in a zinc binuclear cluster (Kulmberg P et al, 1991, FEBS Letts. , 280: 1 1-16). This cluster is related to highly conserved DNA binding domains found in transcription factors of other ascomycetes. Transcription factors GAL4 and LAC9 have been shown to have binuclear complexes which have a cloverleaf type structure containing two Zn(II) atoms (Pan T and Coleman J ⁇ , 1990, Biochemistry, 29:3023-3029; Halvorsen YDC et al, 1990, J. Biol. Chem, 265:13283-13289).
  • ALCR The structure of ALCR is similar to this type except for the presence of an asymmetrical loop of 16 residues between Cys-3 and Cys-4. ALCR positively activates expression of itself by binding to two specific sites in its promoter region (Kulmberg P et al, 1992, Mol. Cell. Biol , 12:1932-1939).
  • ADHII is present in mycelia grown in non-induced media and is repressible by the presence of ethanol. ADHII is encoded by alcB and is also under the control of alcR (Sealy-Lewis & Lockington, 1984).
  • alcB is also under the control of alcR (Sealy-Lewis & Lockington, 1984).
  • alcR Stem-Lewis & Lockington, 1984.
  • a third alcohol dehydrogenase has also been cloned by complementation with a adh- strain of S cerevisiae. This gene alcC, maps to linkage group VII but is unlinked to ale A and alcR.
  • alcC encodes ADHIII and utilises ethanol extremely weakly (McKnight GL et al, 1985, EMBO J. , 4:2094-2099).
  • ADHIII has been shown to be involved in the survival of A. nidulans during periods of anaerobic stress.
  • the expression of alcC is not repressed by the presence of glucose, suggesting that it may not be under the control of alcR (Roland LJ and Stromer JN, 1986, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:3368-3372).
  • A. nidulans expresses the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADHI) encoded by the gene ale A only when it is grown in the presence of various alcohols and ketones.
  • ADHI alcohol dehydrogenase I
  • the induction is relayed through a regulator protein encoded by the alcR gene and constitutively expressed.
  • inducer alcohol or ketone
  • the regulator protein activates the expression ofthe ale A gene.
  • the regulator protein also stimulates expression of itself in the presence of inducer. This means that high levels of the ADHI enzyme are produced under inducing conditions (i.e. when alcohol or ketone are present).
  • the ale A gene and its product, ADHI are not expressed in the absence of inducer.
  • ale A gene promoter is an inducible promoter, activated by the alcR regulator protein in the presence of inducer (i.e. by the protein/alcohol or protein/ketone combination).
  • inducer i.e. by the protein/alcohol or protein/ketone combination.
  • the alcR and alcA genes have been cloned and sequenced (Lockington RA et al, 1985, Gene, 33:137-149; Felenbok B et al, 1988, Gene, 73:385-396; Gwynne t ⁇ /, 1987, Gene, 51:205-216).
  • Alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) genes have been investigated in certain plant species. In maize and other cereals they are switched on by anaerobic conditions. The promoter region of adh genes from maize contains a 300 bp regulatory element necessary for expression under anaerobic conditions. However, no equivalent to the alcR regulator protein has been found in any plant. Hence the alcRlalcA type of gene regulator system is not known in plants. Constitutive expression of alcR in plant cells does not result in the activation of endogenous adh activity.
  • a chemically-inducible plant gene expression cassette comprising a first promoter operatively linked to a regulator sequence which is derived from the alcR gene and encodes a regulator protein, and an inducible promoter operatively linked to a target gene which encodes a protein which is damaging to insects or whose expression induces a metabolic pathway which produces a metabolite which is damaging to insects, the inducible promoter being activated by the regulator protein in the presence of an effective exogenous inducer whereby application ofthe inducer causes expression ofthe target gene.
  • the target gene encodes an insect-damaging protein
  • orally active insecticidal proteins are B. thuringiensis ⁇ endotoxins and therefore, the target gene may encode at least part of a B. thuringiensis ⁇ endotoxin.
  • the alcA/alcR switch is particularly suited to drive genes which encode for B. thuringiensis endotoxins for at least the following reasons.
  • the alcA/alcR switch has been developed to drive high levels of gene expression.
  • the regulatory protein alcR is preferably driven from a strong constitutive promoter such as polyubiquitin. High levels of induced transgene expression, comparable to that from a strong constitutive promoter, such as 35 CaMV, can be achieved.
  • Figure 1 reveals a time course of marker gene expression (CAT) following application of inducing chemical.
  • CAT marker gene expression
  • This study shows a rapid increase (2 hours) of CAT expression following foliar application of inducing chemical.

  • alcA/alcR system we have tested the specificity of alcA/alcR system with a range of solvents used in agronomic practice.

  • tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol 24. dH 2 O A range of biotic and abiotic stresses for example pathogen infection, heat, cold, drought, wounding, flooding have all failed to induce the alcA/alcR switch. In addition a range of non-solvent chemical treatments for example salicylic acid, ethylene, absisic acid, auxin, gibberelic acid, various agrochemicals, all failed to induce the alcJ lalcR system.

  • the second part comprises at least part of an inducible promoter which controls expression of a downstream target gene. In the presence of a suitable inducer, the regulator protein produced by the first part ofthe cassette will activate the expression of the target gene by stimulating the inducible promoter in the second part -of the cassette.

  • the effectiveness ofthe present invention can be conveniently tested by feeding leaves of transgenic plants containing the constructs ofthe present invention to insect larvae, both in the presence and absence, as control, ofthe inducer.
  • a primary screen was performed by removing leaves from the plants and cutting a number of 1 cm 2 leaf pieces. Replicas were placed separately on 0.75% agar and each infested with approximately 10 sterilized Heliothis virescens eggs. The leaf discs were covered and incubated at 25°C, 70% RH for 5 days before scoring the effects of larval feeding. Leaf damage was assigned a score ranging from 0 to 2 in 0.5 increments; 2 denoting no leaf damage (full insect feeding protection) and 0 implying the leaf disc was fully eaten. Leaves from all the constitutive Cryl A(c) tissue culture primary transformants and wild type tobacco were removed and tested for effect on Heliothis virescens as described above. The results are shown in Table 2 below: TABLE 2
  • wild type (wt) tobacco mainly gave an average score of less than 0.5.
  • Tobacco leaves were cut from the plant and stored on ice for up to one hour. 40mm diameter leaf discs were cut and placed, cuticle side down, on 3% agar in 50mm plastic pots. Third instar Heliothis zea reared on LSU artificial diet for five days at 25°C were weighed and infested onto each leaf disc, one per disc. After infestation lids were placed on the pots and they were stored at 25°C under diffuse light. Treatments were assessed after 3 days for mortality, developmental stage and % leaf disc eaten. Larvae were weighed at infestation and after 3 days.
  • Table 7 demonstrates that in the absence of ethanol irrigation mortality levels were found to be comparable to that seen with a wild type control.

Abstract

On décrit une cassette d'expression de gènes de plantes pouvant être induite chimiquement, qui comprend un premier promoteur lié de manière fonctionnelle à une séquence de régulation, laquelle est dérivée du gène alcR et code une protéine régulatrice, ainsi qu'un promoteur pouvant être induit et qui est lié de manière fonctionnelle à un gène cible codant une protéine, laquelle est préjudiciable aux insectes, ou dont l'expression induit un processus métabolique produisant un métabolite, lequel est préjudiciable aux insectes. Le promoteur pouvant être induit est activé par la protéine régulatrice en présence d'un inducteur exogène efficace, une application de cet inducteur provoquant l'expression du gène cible.
