- the coding sequence of the peptide of SEQ ID No. 2 was identifiable by translation of the nucleotide sequence into amino acid sequence in all possible reading frames and comparison of this sequence to the known amino acid sequence of the peptide.
- This analysis used the DNA Star sequence analysis software (SeqMan, EditSeq, Macaw, VectorNTI).
- An amido group at the 3' end of the primer blocks DNA synthesis.
- a phosphate group at the 5' end of the anchor primer allows ligation of this to the 3' end of the cDNA molecules to provide a specific recognition sequence for PCR amplification.
- Reactions for ligation of annealed anchor primers to first strand cDNA preparations contained: 5 ⁇ l reaction mix from first strand cDNA synthesis; 30 mM Tris HCl (pH 8); 10 mM MgCl 2 ; 10 mM Dithiothreitol; 0.5 mM ATP; 1 ⁇ l T4 DNA ligase (4 U/ ⁇ l) (Kramel Biotech); 1 ⁇ l Water; 1 ⁇ l annealed anchor primers (final concentrations of lOOmM, lOnM, lmM).
- Components added to the PCR beads were: 1 ⁇ l cDNA template with Anchor3 annealed to 3' end of first strand cDNA; 20 pmol forward primer; 20 pmol reverse primer; sterile water to total volume of 25 ⁇ l.
- PCR cycle conditions were: (1) 95 °C 1 min; (2) 95 °C 1 min; (3) 58 °C* 1 min; (4) 72 °C 1 min (steps 2-4 for 30 cycles); (5) 72 °C 10 min (*Annealing temperature varied depending on primer set).
- PCR products were visualised by agarose gel electrophoresis and TOPO cloned as described above. Plasmid DNA was extracted from clones carrying candidate recombinant plasmids by Wizard miniprep, EcoRl digested and sequenced, as performed previously for 3' RACE clones (described above).
- a cDNA library of the fungus Paecilomyces farinosus was constructed using the lambda-ZAP cDNA synthesis and ZAP-cDNA Gigapack III Gold Cloning kit from Stratagene, according to the manufacturers' specifications unless stated. Double stranded cDNA was synthesised using 5 ⁇ g the mRNA from the peptide of SEQ ID No. 2 (see above) as a template. This involved first and second strand cDNA synthesis, blunting of cDNA termini, ligation of adapters, and digestion with specific restriction enzymes to produce appropriate 'sticky ends' for directional cloning.
- a Sephacryl S-400 HR MicroSpin column (Amersha Pharmacia Biotech) was used to remove excess adapters rather than the size fractionation step suggested in the kit.
- the gel filtration medium provided in the kit (sepharose CL-2B) separates molecules on the basis of size with a cut-off of 400bp. As the mature insecticidal peptide is only 33 amino acids long, it is highly likely that the gene may be smaller than 400bp and would have been selected against using the sepharose filtration medium.
- cDNAs were ligated into the Uni-ZAP XR vector and packaged into phage. The library titre was 2.5 million clones, with an average insert size of 700bp ranging from 150bp to 2 Kb.
- plaques were plated on Luria-Bertani Agar plates according to the cDNA library manufacturers' specification. Duplicate lifts of the plaques were made onto nitrocellulose membrane (Hybond-N, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The membranes were prehybridised in Denhardts hybridisation solution (5x SSPE, 5x
- Denhardt's Reagent 5g Ficoll, 5g polyvinylpyrrolidone, 5g bovine serum albumin, sterile water to 500ml], 0.5% SDS, sterile water to IL
- 50x Denhardt's Reagent 5g Ficoll, 5g polyvinylpyrrolidone, 5g bovine serum albumin, sterile water to 500ml], 0.5% SDS, sterile water to IL
- a radioactive probe was prepared by end labelling an oligonucleotide specific for the coding sequence of a peptide of SEQ ID NO 1 : 25 ng Oligonucleotide (445-Fl 1 ); 1 ⁇ l polynucleotide Kinase Buffer (Kramel Biotech); 1.5 ⁇ l T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (Kramel Biotech); 5 ⁇ l gamma 32P dATP; sterile Water to 10 ⁇ l. The probe was incubated at 37°C for 5 hours. The probe was added to 50ml Denhardts hybridisation solution and hybridised overnight at 65°C. Membranes were washed in a O.lx SSC, 0.1% SDS solution for 4 x 15 minutes to remove unbound probe. Exposure to x-ray film identified positive plaques containing sequence encoding protein depicted as SEQ ID No. 2.
- Positive plaques were cored from the original agar plates into 1ml SM buffer (5.8g NaCl, 2g MgSO 4 .7H 2 O, 50ml 1M Tris-Hcl pH 7.5, 5ml 2% gelatin, sterile water to IL) containing 20ml chloroform and vortexed.
- the phage DNA was allowed to enter the phage buffer by incubation at 4°C overnight. Samples of phage were then diluted and re-plated to obtain approximately 200 plaques per plate. The plaque lift and hybridisation procedure above was repeated to identify positives. This process was followed for three rounds of screening until the plaques were pure. Self excision of 12 candidate positive plaques into colonies was performed as per Stratagene's specifications with the cDNA library kit.
- Candidate colonies were grown overnight in 5ml Luria-Bertani medium containing lOO ⁇ g /ml ampicillin, plasmid DNA extracted using Promega' s Wizard miniprep kit, and the inserts sequenced using M13 Universal and M13 Reverse primers (see above for details of all).
- nucleotide Sequence The nucleotide sequence of the peptide of SEQ ID No. 2 is shown as SEQ ID No. 14 and also in Figure 2. The putative translation initiation codon and stop codon are shown in italics. The sequence which codes for the mature peptide is underlined.
- the potential cleavage site is indicated by a downward pointing arrow.
- a secondary processing event removes the signal peptide from the mature peptide, e.g. by signal peptidase cleavage.
- Suitable constructs for expression in corn can be summarised as follows:
- the signal peptide can be fused to the mature gene for example using an overlapping PCR approach as illustrated in Figure 2.
- the fusion is suitably designed with restriction sites to allow cloning into monocot vectors.
- it may comprise the following:
- the full length signal-gene fusion can be ligated between the maize ubiquitin promoter and nos terminator into a backbone vector containing PAT selection (phosphinothricin - basta herbicide resistance).
- constructs can be used to transform corn cells which can then be grown into callus as is well known in the art.
- the transformed callus can be subjected to a corn callus transient assay and/or an in vivo bioassay to confirm expression and activity of the peptide.
- the peptide of the invention has good activity against the Beet Armyworm (Spodoptera exigua) which is a major cotton pest. Thus cotton Gossypium hirsutum, which has been transformed to express this peptide would be protected against this pest.
- the signal peptide can be fused to the mature gene using an overlapping PCR approach as in Example 7.
- the fusion is suitably designed with restriction sites to allow cloning into dicot vectors.
- the full length signal-gene fusion can be ligated into a housekeeping vector between the RolDFd promoter and potato protease inhibitor II terminator.
- the entire cassette could then be cut out using restriction enzymes and ligated into an appropriate binary vector. Constructs can then be tested using conventional methods.
- Other modifications of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
- Previously prepared European Corn Borer (ECB) artificial diet was dispensed in small quantities into tubes and held in a warm water bath at 70°C. To each tube containing 915ml of diet, 75m/ of the appropriate test sample was added.
- the test samples comprised a mixture of the cry Hal protein (SEQ ID No. 54) and the protein depicted as SEQ ID No. 2 (the R524445 protein).
- the "inco ⁇ orated diet” was mixed well and 180m/ aliquots were then pipetted out onto Falcon 1006 petri dishes, giving five replicates for each sample.
- the dishes were infested 1 - 5 hours after the diet is dispensed with five 1 st instar larvae per dish/rep and then lidded.
- the test was held in the dark at 27°C and 70 - 80% RH and the insects were assessed five days after treatment for mortality. The results are shown in the Table 4 below:
