Abstract
A DNA sequence coding for an oxalate oxidase. The protein is useful in making plants resistant to diseases caused by Sclerotinia sp. It may be provided by a chimeric gene and a vector containing the coding sequence. It is useful in increasing the resistance of plants to diseases due to Sclerotinia sp.
Description
PRODUCTION OF PLANTS RESISTANT TO ATTACKS BY SCLEROTINIA SCLEROTIORUM BY THE INTRODUCTION OF A GENE ENCODING AN OXALATE OXIDASE The subject of the present invention is a 5 gene encoding an oxalate oxidase, the protein encoded by this gene, the chimeric genes comprising this gene and their use for transformation in order to confer on them a resistance to fungal diseases.
Sclerotiniose is a major fungal disease which affects a large number of dicotyledons. The causative agent, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a polyphagous fungus which exhibits little host specificity.
The fungus can attack the plant either directly at the level of the stem, or at the level of the leaves and then spread to the stem, or at the level of the floral capitulum. In the first two cases, the plant withers from disruption to food supply. In the last case, the flower withers, damaging the harvest.
The fungus produces lytic enzymes which degrade the cell wall of the infected plant and promote its development in the plant. These enzymes play an important role in pathogenicity, but do not appear to be sufficient. This fungus also produces oxalic acid (Godov et al., 1990). This oxalic acid causes a decrease in pH in the infected tissues, promoting hydrolysis of the cell wall by the lytic enzymes. A reduction in the production of oxalic acid or degradation of this oxalic acid should permit a slowing-down or even an inhibition of the development of the fungus.
In order to develop a nos resistant plant, the strategy of detoxification of oxalic acid may be used. The degradation of this acid will limit the decrease in intracellular pH of the plant tissue attacked, the lytic enzymes will thereby be functioning at a value too far-removed from their optimum pH to be really active and efficient. This will lead to a decrease in the pathogenicity of the fungus.
Oxalate oxidase which catalyses the following reaction: °2 C2O4H2-----------------> 2CO2 + H202 oxalate oxidase may be used to achieve this objective.
Oxalate oxidase is isolated from various plants, generally from monocotyledons (Pieta et al., 1982): the protein may for example be purified from barley using conventional chromatographic techniques (Sephadex G-75 filtration gels and MonoQ ion exchange gels, Pharmacia), by monitoring the enzymatic activity according to the following colorimetric procedure (Obzansky and Richardson, 1983): Oxalic acid + 02---------------> 2CO2 + H202+ oxalate oxidase H2O2 + MBTH + DMA------------> indamine + H20 + peroxidase MBTH = 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone DMA = N,N-dimethylalinine This has made it possible to purify a protein which, on acrylamide gel under denaturing conditions, has a molecular mass of 26,000 daltons. Part of the purified oxalate oxidase was used to obtain rabbit anti-oxalate oxidase antibodies; the remainder of the protein was used to carry out the sequencing of the native protein (N-terminal) or, after cyanogen bromide cleavage, the sequencing of certain internal peptides.
The results obtained are as follows: N-terminal : IDPDPLQDF-VADLDGKAVSVNGH 10 S Internal peptide No. 2 : HFQFNVGKTEAY cDNA Comparison of the peptide sequences described above with the data contained in the protein library Swiss-Prot enabled us to identify a wheat protein called Germine and published in 1989 by Dratewka-kos et al. Experiments were carried out and they enabled us to determine that the cDNA published by the authors encodes a protein of 201 amino acids which exhibits an oxalate oxidase activity. For the rest of the description of the experiments presented in this patent, we will use the nucleotide numbering in Figure 2 in the article by the authors published in J. Biol. Chem., 264, 4896-4900.
The sequence of this cDNA is 1075 nucleotides in length with an untranslated 5' of 85 residues, an open reading frame of 672 nucleotides (from position 86 to 757) and an untranslated 3' of 318 residues.
Comparison of the protein sequence deduced from the cDNA sequence with that obtained by sequencing the native protein shows that the cDNA encodes not only mature oxalate oxidase but also a signal peptide of 23 amino acids in the N-terminal part. Oxalate oxidase is therefore synthesised in the form of a preprotein (signal peptide plus mature peptide) which undergoes maturation by removal of the signal peptide in order to release the mature active enzyme.
In the following, we will use either the part encoding the preprotein (nucleotides 86 to 757), or only that part encoding the mature protein (from position 155 to 757). In the latter case, an AUG codon (encoding a methionine) should be placed before the ACC codon (encoding threonine, the first amino acid of the mature protein).
The attacks on plants by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum being essentially through the stem or the plant, it is advantageous to be able to express oxalate oxidase either in chlorophyllous tissues, and for that the promoter of the small subunit of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase of Helianthus annuus (SSUHa, Waksman et al., 1987) may be used, or in the various tissues of the plant, and for that we will use the ubiquitous promoter of the 35S RNA of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S) part of which was duplicated and which is called double CaMV.
The chimeric genes according to the invention may be for example constructed from the following elements: A. Double CaMV promoter followed by that part of the oxalate oxidase cDNA encoding the pre5 protein (signal peptide plus mature peptide) and the terminator nos obtained from the pTi 37 nopaline synthase gene (Bevan et al., 1983).
B. Double CaMV promoter followed by that part of the oxalate oxidase cDNA encoding only the mature protein followed by the terminator nos.
C. Gene identical to A but with the promoter of the small subunit of sunflower ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase (SSUHa) in place of the double CaMV.
D. Gene identical to B but with the promoter of the SSUHa in place of the double CaMV.
Each chimeric gene is introduced into the plant cell by a system using Agrobacterium or any other system otherwise known for transforming plant cells. Plants are regenerated from these transformed cells. They exhibit an increased tolerance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
EXAMPLE 1: Preparation of two coding sequences: Preprotein: it is obtained from the cDNA described above, digested with HindiII (in position 66). The cohesive end obtained is made blunt by treating with Klenow polymerase. This DNA is then digested with Nhel (in position 811).
The plasmid pUC 19 (Yanisch-Perron et al., 1985) is digested in parallel with Sacl.
The cohesive end obtained is made blunt by treating with Klenow polymerase. The plasmid is then digested with Xbal (compatible with Nhel).
The cDNA fragment and plasmid prepared above are ligated. The new plasmid thus obtained is called pRPA-oxo-01 and its map is presented in Figure 1.
B. Mature protein: it is obtained from the cDNA described above after digestion with BstNI (in position 173). The fragment obtained and the linker of the sequence: ' 3' ATGACCGACCCAGACCCTCTCC TACTGGCTGGGTCTGGGAGAGGT 3' 5' are ligated. This leads to a modification of the N-terminal sequence of the mature protein which passes from TDPDPLQ to MTDPDPLQ.
This cDNA fragment is then digested with Nhel (in position 811) so that it can then be ligated with the plasmid pUC19 prepared as described in the paragraph above. The new plasmid thus formed is called pRPA-oxo-02 and its map is presented in Figure 1.
EXAMPLE 2; Preparation of the chimeric genes: 10 a. Preparation of the vectors containing the promoter and the terminator nos; - example double CaMV: this vector is obtained from the plasmid pRPA-BL-410 obtained in the following manner: Transit peptide of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/AroA gene fusion; The transit peptide of the SSU of the maize RuBisCO gene is derived from an EcoRI-SphI fragment of 192-bp; it is obtained from the cDNA corresponding to the SSU gene of the maize RuBisCO gene described by Lebrun et al (1987) with an Ncol site spanning the initiation codon for translation and an SphI site corresponding to the cleavage site of the transit peptide.
The translational fusion between the maize transit peptide and the bacterial EPSPS gene is obtained by treating the SphI end with the bacteriophage T4 polymerase and by ligating it with the Klenow polymerase-treated Ncol end of the AroA gene of pRPA-BL 104 recut with EcoRI.
Transit peptide of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/ sequence of 22 amino acids of the mature part of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/AroA gene fusion: In a similar fashion, an EcoRI-Hindll fragment of 228bp of the cDNA of the SSU of maize RuBisCO gene is ligated with the Klenow polymerasetreated Ncol end of the AroA gene of pRPA-BL 104 and recut with EcoRI. A translational fusion is obtained between the transit peptide of the SSU of maize RuBisCO, the 22 amino acids of the mature part of the SSU of maize RuBisCO and the bacterial EPSPS gene.
Transit peptide of the SSU of sunflower RuBisCO: The fragment is obtained from the cDNA isolated by Waksman and Freyssinet (1987). A SphI site was created according to the method of Zoller and Smith (1984) at the cleavage site of the transit peptide. The transit peptide of the SSU of sunflower RuBisCO thus obtained is an EcoRI-SphI fragment of 171bp.

The transcriptional fusion double CaMV/transit peptide of the SSU of sunflower RuBisCO/sequence of 22 amino acids of the mature part of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/AroA gene/3'nos in the vector 150 A alpha 2 was called pRPA-BL 294.
Transit peptide of the SSU of sunflower RuBisCO/sequence of 22 amino acids of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/transit peptide of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/AroA gene fusion: The construct above is cut with NeoI-HindiII releasing the AroA gene. It is then ligated with a 1.5-kbp Ncol-Hindlll fragment containing the transit peptide of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/AroA gene fusion. The resulting construct exhibits a substitution of the Ncol-Hindlll fragments and is a translational fusion transit peptide of the SSU of sunflower RuBisCO/sequence of 22 amino acids of the SSU of RuBisCO of the mature part of the maize gene/transit peptide of the SSU of maize RuBisCO/AroA gene.
The EcoRI-Sall fragment was ligated with the Sall-Sstl fragment containing the 3' nos sequence and the right end of the T-DNA.

This plasmid is digested with EcoRI and Sail in order to remove the structural gene optimised transit peptide-mature EPSPS encoding region, pRPA-BL-410 deleted (see Figure 1).
- Example SSUHa: this vector is obtained from the plasmid pRPA-BL-207 (described in European Patent Application 0,337,899) which is digested with EcoRI and HindiII in order to remove the nitrilase-encoding region, pRPA-BL-207 deleted (see Figure 1). b.

Transformation Each vector, as described above, is introduced into the nononcogenic Agrobacterium 20 tumefaciens strain EHA 101 (Hood et al., 1987) carrying the cosmid pTVK 291 (Komari et al., 1986).
The method of transforming colza, Westar variety, is essentially based on that described by Boulter et al. (1990), using a bacterial concentration of 2.5 x 103 per ml (OD 600 nm = 1) . b. Regeneration The method of regeneration is essentially based on that described by Boulter et al. (1990). The plants are rooted on the medium of De Block et al. (1989). They are then brought to the flowering stage in a greenhouse.
EXAMPLE 4: Measurement of the resistance of colza to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: In vitro: - Foliar discs: the resistance is measured by weighing the mass of three foliar discs after growing for 11 days on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with hormones, supplemented with 1 mM of oxalic acid.
Under these conditions, it is observed that for the foliar discs obtained from colzas modified using one of the chimeric genes, pRPA-oxo-03, pRPA-oxo04, pRPA-oxo-05 and pRPA-oxo-06, the mass of the foliar discs increases substantially whereas, in the case of the foliar discs obtained from unmodified colzas, the mass stagnates or even decreases.
- Root elongation: the resistance is also measured in vitro by measuring root elongation after growing for two days on water supplemented with 5 mM of oxalic acid. It is observed, in this case, that the roots of colza plants modified with one of the chimeric genes, pRPA-oxo-03, pRPA-oxo-04, are capable of growing and increasing in length, whereas the roots of unmodified colzas show no growth under these conditions .
In vivo: The resistance in vivo is measured in a greenhouse after contaminating colza plants obtained 5 from the regeneration, as soon as the first flowers appeared, either by depositing S. sclerotiorum spores on the petals, the infection of the leaves thereby occurring naturally during defloration, or by directly depositing mycelium or a mycelium-impregnated petal on the leaves. The plants modified by one of the chimeric genes, pRPA-oxo-03, pRPA-oxo-04, pRPA-oxo-05 and pRPA-oxo-06 do not allow the fungus to develop and do not exhibit any symptom of rot characteristic of sclerotiniose, whereas the unmodified plants are rapidly overcome by rot characteristic of the development of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
