Definitions
- the present invention relates to recombinant DNA technology, and in particular to the production of transgenic plants which exhibit substantial resistance or substantial tolerance to herbicides when compared with non transgenic like plants.
- the invention also relates, inter alia, to the nucleotide sequences (and expression products thereof) which are used in the production of, or are produced by, the said transgenic plants.
- Plants which are substantially "tolerant” to a herbicide when they are subjected to it provide a dose/response curve which is shifted to the right when compared with that provided by similarly subjected non tolerant like plants.
- Such dose/response curves have "dose” plotted on the x-axis and “percentage kill", "herbicidal effect” etc. plotted on the y- axis.
- Tolerant plants will typically require at least twice as much herbicide as non tolerant like plants in order to produce a given herbicidal effect.
- Plants which are substantially "resistant" to the herbicide exhibit few, if any, necrotic, lytic, chlorotic or other lesions when subjected to the herbicide at concentrations and rates which are typically employed by the agricultural community to kill weeds in the field in which crops are to be grown for commercial purposes.
- the plants are substantially resistant or substantially tolerant to herbicides (hereinafter “glyphosate”) which have 5-enol pyruvyl shikimate phosphate synthetase (hereinafter “EPSPS”) as their site of action, of which N- phosphonomethylglycine (and its various salts) is the pre-eminent example.
- glyphosate herbicides
- EPSPS 5-enol pyruvyl shikimate phosphate synthetase
- the herbicide may be applied either pre- or post emergence in accordance with usual techniques for herbicide application to fields comprising crops which have been rendered resistant to the herbicide.
- the present invention provides, ter alia, nucleotide sequences useful in the production of such herbicide tolerant or resistant plants.
- an isolated polynucleotide comprising the sequence depicted in SEQ ID No. 33.
- the invention also provides a polynucleotide, excluding the cDNA encoding the rice and corn EPSPS, which encodes an EPSPS and which is complementary to one which when incubated at a temperature of between 65 and 70°C in 0.1 strength citrate buffered saline containing 0.1% SDS followed by rinsing at the same temperature with 0.1 strength citrate buffered saline containing 0.1% SDS still hybridises with the sequence depicted in SEQ ID No. 33.
- An EPSPS encoding polynucleotide according to the invention may, however, be obtained by screening plant genomic DNA libraries with a nucleotide constituting an intron within the SEQ ID No. 33 sequence, and the invention also includes such a sequence obtainable from that screening.
- the invention also includes an isolated polynucleotide comprising a region encoding a chloroplast transit peptide and a glyphosate resistant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate phosphate synthase (EPSPS) 3' of the peptide, the said region being under expression control of a plant operable promoter, with the provisos that the said promoter is not heterologous with respect to the said region, and the chloroplast transit peptide is not heterologous with respect to the said synthase.
- heterologous is meant from a different source, and correspondingly “non- heterologous” means derived from the same source - but at a gene rather than organism or tissue level.
- the CaMN35S promoter is clearly heterologous with respect to a petunia EPSPS coding sequence insofar as the promoter is derived from a virus and the sequence - the expression of which it controls - from a plant.
- the term "heterologous” according to the present invention has a still narrower meaning, however.
- “heterologous” as it relates to the present invention means that the petunia EPSPS coding sequence is "heterologous" with respect to, for example, a promoter also derived from petunia - other than that which controls expression of the EPSPS gene.
- the petunia promoter derived from the petunia EPSPS gene then used to control expression of an EPSPS coding sequence likewise-derived from petunia is "non-heterologous" with respect to the said coding sequence.
- “ ⁇ on-heterologous” does not mean, however, that the promoter and coding sequence must necessarily have been obtained from one and the same (original or progenitor) polynucleotide.
- transit peptides For example, a rubisco chloroplast transit peptide derived from sunflower is “heterologous” with respect to the coding sequence of an EPSPS gene likewise derived from sunflower (the same plant, tissue or cell).
- a rubisco transit peptide encoding sequence derived from sunflower is "non- heterologous" with respect to a rubisco enzyme encoding-sequence also derived from sunflower even if the origins of both sequences are different polynucleotides which may have been present in different cells, tissues or sunflower plants.

Expression of EPSPS transgene in regenerable callus following transformation using silicon carbide Whiskers
- the table shows EPSPS enzyme assay (+/- 100 ⁇ M glyphosate at 100 ⁇ M PEP) results based upon enzyme assays of extracts of stably transformed callus of regenerable A 188 x B73 regenerable corn, transformed by Whiskers with ZEN8i DNA. Each callus line represents a single event which is assayed in duplicate. The ratio of the true (allowing for ⁇ 8% inhibition) tolerant enzyme activity expressed by the transgene to endogenous susceptible activity (>98% inhibition + glyphosate) is calculated.
- the mutant EPSPS is expressed relatively strongly in some lines, notably lines 90928sr2-l and 90921sql-l, where, allowing for the reduced Vmax of the tolerant enzyme relative to the w/t (about a third) it can be estimated that the tolerant enzyme is expressed at 3-15X the normal level of endogenous EPSPS (this calculation is complicated by the fact that, in some selected calli, expression of the transgene occurs alongside an apparent ⁇ 2-3X increase in the background expression of the susceptible endogenous enzyme).
- the same extracts were also analysed by Westerns (in this case using polyclonal antibodies raised to purified Brassica napus EPSPS) and the amount of EPSPS quantitated on the basis of reaction with a standard curve of purified rice EPSPS.
- the Western data are expressed as fold increase in total EPSPS amount relative to untransformed corn callus. In good agreement with the enzyme data, the Western data indicate a high level of EPSPS expression in, for example, lines 90928sr2-l and 9092 lsql- 1.

- N- (phosphonomethyl)glycine is in the range 0.04 - 0.25 mM.
- Regenerating calli are maintained on this medium for a period of 3 weeks before subculture, at which point well developed shoots are excised. As only one event is likely to be produced on a single callus (which represents a single embryo), the entire callus is removed to a fresh plate and maintained with the excised shoot(s) to ensure multiple clones arising from the same callus do not get counted as separate events. Calli with only partially developed shoots or without regenerating sectors are returned to Z medium for a further 3 weeks. At the end of this period non regenerating calli are discarded.

- the supernatant is exchanged down a chilled PD 10 column of Sephadex G25 into 25 mM Hepes/ KOH buffer at pH 7.5 containing 1 mM EDTA, 3 mM DTT and 10% v/v glycerol. Protein is estimated by the Bradford method standardised using bovine serum albumen. A portion of the extract is frozen in liquid nitrogen; a portion is assayed immediately.
- EPSPS assays of plant extracts are standardly carried out, as described above, with 0.1 mM 14 C-PEP and 0.75 mM shikimate-3-Pi either in the absence or the presence of 0.1 mM N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine. Under these assay conditions, the resistant form of EPSPS (see below) is estimated to be inhibited by ⁇ 8.5% whilst the sensitive w/t form is essentially fully inhibited (> 98%).
- the level of activity observed in the presence of glyphosate (A) is taken to represent - 92% of the level of resistant enzyme derived from expression of the transgene whilst the level of susceptible w/t EPSPS is taken to be the total level of EPSPS activity observed in the absence of glyphosate minus the value of A x ⁇ 1.08.
- the Vmax of the mutant enzyme is estimated to be only about a third of the Vmax of the w/t enzyme (and because the Km values for PEP of both w/t and mutant forms are estimated to be about 20 ⁇ M or less)
- the level of expression of the mutant enzyme polypeptide relative to the level of expression of the endogenous w/t EPSPS is taken to be about three fold higher than the ratio calculated on the basis of the ratio of their relative observed activities.
- the total level of EPSPS polypeptide expression (mutant + w/t) is also estimated by using Westerns (see below).

- EXAMPLE. 19 Preparation of antibodies to purified rice EPSPS and methods for Western analysis Standard methods for generation of polyclonal antisera in rabbits are used. Rabbits are young female New Zealand Whites. Immunisation courses consist of 4 doses, each - 100 mg, administered at monthly intervals. Each dose in phosphate buffered saline is administered as an emulsion with Freund's Complete adjuvant (dose 1) or Incomplete adjuvant (doses 2-4) and is injected at four sub-cutaneous sites. A pre-bleed is taken before dose 1 is administered. A test bleed is taken 14 days after the second dose to confirm the immune response. A term bleed is taken 14 days after the fourth dose and used for experimentation. A fifth and final dose is given when at least 6 weeks has elapsed since the fourth dose, and the final bleed (also used for experimentation) is taken 14 days later.
- Antibodies are raised to both (i) purified native mature w/t rice EPSPS (example 8) and also (ii) to SDS-denatured rice EPSPS polypeptide which is eluted from a band cut out of a 12% SDS gel (the correct position of the protein being accurately marked by side by side Coomassie staining of the band).
- 12% polyacrylamide gels are used for SDS gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Electrophoresis is performed at a constant current of 100V for 90 minutes. Gels are blotted against nitrocellulose sheets overnight at 4 C at a constant 30V. Sheets are blocked in 5% Marvel phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween (PBS-tween) for 1 or 2 hours, washed three times in PBS-tween and incubated in rice EPSPS-Rbl primary antibody at - 1.3 mg IgG/ml (normally equivalent to a 1:4000 to 1: 20,000 dilution of term bleed).
- PBS-tween 5% Marvel phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween
- Negative control blots are blots with (1) preimmune serum at a dilution calculated to yield the same [IgG] as in test immune sera (IgG is routinely purified from an aliquot of each serum and quantitated so that these dilutions can be calculated directly) and also (2) immune serum raised against Freund's adjuvant alone. IgG concentration in control immune sera is adjusted so that controls are at an appropriate concentration of IgG. In order to make this calculation, IgG is purified from crude antiserum by filtration through a 0.45 ⁇ m syringe filter and passed down a 1ml HiTrap protein G column (Pharmacia cat no: 17-0404-01). The bound IgG is eluted from the column with 0.
- IgG concentration is estimated by UV determination, (a 1 cm pathlength of a 1 mg ml "1 solution of pure IgG has an absorbance at 280nm wavelength of 1.35). From the IgG yield a calculation can be made of IgG concentration in the crude antiserum, and correct dilutions in western blots calculated accordingly.
- Plant tissue samples are prepared for example as described in example 17. Alternatively, for Western analysis, a much simpler procedure is used. 100-200 mg of plant tissue to be analysed is rapidly homogenized (for example using an ultra turrax, bead beater or glass homogenizer) in an equal volume of buffer (similar to in example 7), centrifuged for 5 minutes in a chilled eppendorf microcentrifuge and the supernatant a) a small aliquot is analysed for protein using the Bradford method and b) for the most part mixed 1 : 1 with Laemli SDS 'sample buffer', heated and then stored ready for loading onto gels. Typically SDS slab gels are loaded with 10 protein samples in 10 wells.
- Genomic DNA is isolated from plants, plantlets and callus material using ,for example, the method of Dellporta et al (1983) in Chromosome Structure and Function:
- Transgenic callus and plant segregants that contain the mutated rice EPSPS transgene are identified using fluoresence PCR using oligonucleotide primers SEQ ID NO. 39 and 40 that are specific to the mutations within the rice EPSPS genomic sequence.
- the fluorescent dye SYBR green which intercalates with double stranded DNA, is included in the PCR so that samples containing the mutated rice EPSPS gene are detected by an increase in fluorescence in the sample which is detected using an ABI 3377 machine.
- the primers may be fluorescently labelled and technologies such as molecular beacons and 'Scorpions' are available.
- DNA is digested with suitable restriction enzymes (e.g Hind III) according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g Promega). Restriction enzymes are chosen that cut both within and outside the mutant EPSPS sequence. DNA is separated using TAE (0.04M tris- acetate, 1 mM EDTA) 0.8% agarose gels. Southern blotting is carried out according to methods giving by Sambrook et al., 1989 using HyBond N+ nitrocellulose blotting membrane (AmershamPharmacia). The DNA is cross-linked to the membrane by exposure to UV illumination.
- suitable restriction enzymes e.g Hind III
- Restriction enzymes are chosen that cut both within and outside the mutant EPSPS sequence.
- DNA is separated using TAE (0.04M tris- acetate, 1 mM EDTA) 0.8% agarose gels.
- DNA fragments used for generating specific probes are isolated by purification on gels of restriction digests of plasmid DNA or generated by PCR. For example, a 700 bp fragment containing intron 1 of the rice EPSPS gene, is generated by PCR using primers as shown below. SEQ. ID. NO 31
- Such probes are labelled with ⁇ P using the random priming method, for example Ready-To-Go DNA labelling beads (AmershamPharmacia) and purified using, for example, MicroSpin G-25 columns (AmershamPharmacia).
- Blots of DNA gels are prehybridized at 65 C in 5x SSC, 0.5% SDS, 2xDenhardt's solution, 0.15 mg/ ml denatured salmon sperm DNA for at least one hour. The blot is then hybridized with denatured probe for 16-24 h at 65 C in fresh pre-hybridisation solution. Membranes are blotted dry and visualised using autoradiography.
- Southern blotting indicates a single integration event of the transgene at a single locus, indicted by the probe hybridising with only a single specific sized restriction fragment, then the result is confirmed through a rehyridisation of the blot using an alternative probe.
- untransformed material is used.
- the blot may be probed further with hybridisation probes specific to other regions of the transgenic construct (for example the promoter, 5'UTR intron or upstream enhancer sequences) in order to verify the integrity of the construct.
- specific probes are used to indicate the presence or absence of any DNA extending from beyond the RB and LB of the super-binary vector.
