Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gene which encodes a factor required for transcription in plant cells and a method for the control of transcription using that gene.
  • RNA polymerase II B
  • General transcription factors are responsible for assembly of the pre-initiation complex at the 'TATA' box, and accurate basal level transcription initiation.
  • Activators are an heterogeneous class of sequence-specific DNA binding proteins that interact with the pre-initiation complex to bring about regulated high level transcription of the associated gene. Interaction of activators with the pre-initiation complex is presumed to be an important level of control for gene expression.

  • TBPs Homology between TBPs is at least 80% or greater in the carboxy-terminal 200 amino acids.
  • the amino terminal ends of TBPs are highly disparate, and were initially presumed to play some role in species-specific interactions that regulate transcription initiation. Although it is possible that this does occur other evidence has pointed to functional differences being localised to the highly conserved carboxy-terminal region. Reports to date have focused on analysis of the physical requirements of protein structure for TBP function.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide means for controlling gene transcription in plants.

  • Such inhibition may also be obtained by stably
  • a method for the isolation of the TFIID promoter comprising probing a genomic library with the cDNA of the invention, isolating a genomic sequence which hybridises to the said cDNA and recovering from the isolated genomic sequence th promoter region lying upstream of the TFIID gene.

  • the invention also provides a method for the induction of constitutive gene expression, comprising placing a selected gene of interest under control of the promoter of the TFIID gene .
  • the invention further provides a recombinant gene construct comprising in sequence a TFIID promoter, a selected gene for expression and a transcription terminator region.
  • TFIID The TFIID gene can be used as a target to inhibit growth of a plant cell by several methods. In addition the gene sequences can be used to isolate the gene in question which is a truly constitutive gene. TFIID is a DNA-binding protein or factor which binds to DNA sequences found on plant promoters such as the "TATA box". Interaction of other factors involved with the initiation of transcription or the enhancement of transcription with the factor is specifically required for gene expression in plants.
  • the cDNA can be used to isolate the gene encoding it. This is described in detail below. This gene is special in that due to the requirement that it be expressed in all tissues of a plant at all times, it is expressed

This can be used to inhibit flowering, pollen formation, embryo development and seed formation among others.

  • One preferred application of this invention is in the creation of male sterile plants for use in the production of hybrids.
  • Our International Patent application WO 90/00110 incorporated herein by reference, relates to the production of such male sterile plant lines.

  • a TBP cDNA clone from Arabidopsis thaliana L was used to screen a cDNA library from potato tubers. From an initial screen of 10 clones from an amplified portion of this library one clone was isolated (ST-1), and from a subsequent screen of 10 clones from the primary library a further three clones were isolated (ST-2, ST-3, ST-4). The complete nucleotide sequence of ST-2 (representing the largest spliced cDNA insert) was determined ( Figure 1).
  • This DNA sequence was compared to those available in the EMBL-database and indicated a high level of homology between ST-2 and TBPs from both human and yeast sources.

  • the copolymer polyGdC.dGdC (used as non-specific DNA in EMSA experiments) was a very inefficient competitor for TBP binding to the patatin promoter (Figure 4). Specificity of DNA binding for the TATA box was demonstrated in competitio experiments in which an oligonucleotide containing the wild type TATA motif from the patatin gene (see Figure 3) was shown to compete effectively with the patatin gene promoter for ST-2 binding, whereas an oligonucleotide containing a mutated TATATATA box (replaced with TAGGGGTA) was competed at a very much lower level.
  • optimised reaction conditions for potato TBP binding to the patatin promoter TATA-box was calculated from the binding data ( Figure 5d), and in four independent experiments gave value 2 . 4x10 9 M -1 ⁇ 1.1 ⁇ 10 11 .

Abstract

Le facteur de transcription IID (TFIID) d'un gène de plante code la protéine de liaison à l'ADN nécessaire à la transcription de tous les gènes structurels. La régulation négative de l'expression de TFIID, par l'intermédiaire de la transformation au moyen d'une copie messagère ou anti-messagère du gène de TFIID, empêche l'expression du gène, provoque un défaut de transcription, et, par conséquent, la mort de la cellule. On peut cibler cette régulation négative vers des types de cellules particuliers ou vers des étapes de développement particulières au moyen de la sélection de promoteurs appropriés. Etant donné que TFIID est exprimé simultanément dans toutes les cellules, l'effet de son promoteur est réellement constitutif et peut s'utiliser pour provoquer l'expression constitutive de gènes étrangers situés en aval dudit promoteur.
