Definitions

  • This invention relates to promoters and their use for the expression of polypeptides and in particular their use in live vaccines.
  • the present invention also provides a method of integrating foreign genes into the chromosome of bacteria and to bacterial vaccines expressing foreign genes.
  • the Esche ⁇ chia coli bacterium displays a characteristic response to iron starvation which is shared by many other aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms, such as Salmonella typhimu ⁇ um. Under conditions where the iron concentration is less than about 5 ⁇ M the transcription of a collection of genes or groups of genes scattered through the chromosome is coordinately activated in a manner resembling an iron- controlled regulon. Iron control is in all instances mediated by negative regulation via the product of the fur gene, the absence of which triggers the expression of the genes to constitutive levels. The Fur protein also regulates expression of the aerobac tin-mediated iron transport regulon.
  • the present inventors have developed a system involving the use of a novel hybrid iron-regulated promoter which can be induced to hyper-express polypeptide encoding genes.
  • the promoter can provide an optimal polypeptide dose to the host immune system.
  • the inventors mean a DNA molecule having a nucleic acid sequence which (as a portion of a larger DNA molecule) is effective in inducing the expression of a polypeptide- encoding gene or genes localised downstream of the promoter DNA sequence.
  • the polypeptide may comprise one or more antigenic determinants of a pathogenic organism, and may be derived from a virus, bacterium, fungus, yeast or parasite.
  • Live attenuated Salmonella strains are currently being developed world-wide as carriers of foreign antigens from viral, bacterial and parasite origin. These recombinant salmonellae are being used to immunise the animal or human host to elicit a protective immune response against the respective infection. As mentioned above these recombinant Salmonella- based vaccines suffer from a number of drawbacks.
  • One major problem is that they typically carry the foreign antigen gene on self-replicating plasmids. These plasmids are often unstable and are lost from the bacterial cell in vivo resulting in a loss of the foreign antigen gene and consequently the foreign protein. This plasmid loss results in a reduced antigen dose being presented to the host immune system with a consequent sub-optimal protective immune response.

  • the term "functionally equivalent nucleic acid sequence" is intended to cover minor variations in the promoter sequence which do not result in a promoter having substantially lower activity from the promoter defined from residues 284 to 409 in Fig. 1.
  • the vector of the present invention includes the bacteriophage P22 int gene and an attP region. When this vector is introduced into a suitable bacterium, the bacteriophage P22 int gene is expressed to produce the int protein.
  • a short DNA sequence called attP (attachment) in the vector is homologous to the attB sequence found in the bacterial chromosome.
  • the bacterial chromosome expresses a protein called IHF (integration host factor) and that protein interacts with the expressed int protein from the vector which causes the homologous recombination of the vector DNA and the chromosomal DNA between attP and attB sequences.

  • the present inventors have developed a site-specific chromosomal integration system to integrate foreign antigen genes into the chromosome of attenuated S. typhimurium strains. The advantages of this system include:
  • the system does not use mobile genetic elements (e.g. transposons) and therefore once the vaccine strain is constructed the genotype and phenotype will not be altered by genes hopping around to other sites in the bacterial chromosome. 3.
  • the efficiency of chromosomal integration approaches 100% i.e. all bacterial cells that are transformed by this DNA are found to have the heterologous polypeptide genes integrated in the bacterial chromosome.
  • the system is "user-friendly” and requires a single step cloning event to clone the gene of interest into the "chromosomal integration vector" followed by transformation of the attenuated S. typhimurium strain of choice.
  • This system is highly versatile and can be adapted for integration of genes into the chromosomes of a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria as well as eucaryotic cells.
  • the applications of this technology range widely and can be used as (a) basic-research tool to study chromosomally integrated genes in Gram- negative bacteria and Eucaryotic cells, (b) preparation of live attenuated vaccines, (c) tissue specific expression in gene therapy, and (d) development of transgenic plants and animals.
