Definitions
- Nucleic acid mole oil which codes for a plant AMP deaminase
- AMP deaminase (adenosine monophosphate deaminase) (EC 3.5.4.6) catalyzes the irreversible hydrolytic deamination of the amino group of AMP (adenosine monophosphate) to equimolar amounts of IMP (inosine monophosphate) and ammonia in eukaryotes.
- AMP deaminase (AMP-DA) can be found in all eukaryotic organisms (Meyer et al., Biochemistry, 28 (1989), 8734-8743; Thakkar et al., Biochem. J., 290 (1993), 335- 341).
- the enzyme is regarded as a key enzyme in the control of the energy balance and the purine metabolism of eukaryotic cells.
- the AMP deaminase plays an important role in the regulation of the energy status of the cell due to its function in the breakdown of AMP in plants (Lowenstein J.M., Int. J. Sports Med., 11 (1990), 37-46).
- the plant AMP deaminase has been recognized for the first time by Dancer (Dancer et al., Plant Physiol., 114 (1997), 119-129) because of its role in plant purine metabolism as a herbicidal site of action.
- a known inhibitory molecule of AMP deaminase is the carbocyclic derivative of coformycin, polygocidine. This is a natural product from the microorganism Saccharothrix spp. (Dancer et al., Plant Physiol., 114 (1997), 119-129). The effectiveness of polygocidin has been shown in various mono- and dicotyledon weeds.
- the amount of active ingredient required for control is less than 32 g / ha in the post-emergence process in order to achieve a herbicidal action (Bush et al., Phytochemistry, 32 (1993), 737-739).
- Symptoms observed on the plant after application of coformycin are, for example, the impairment of plant growth as a result of Bleaching and necrosis on apica bucket plants.
- Dancer (Dancer et al., Plant Physiol., 114 (1997), 119-129) was able to show that in planta the herbicidal action of carbocyclic coformycin on the inhibition of AMP deaminase activity by the in vivo phosphorylated form (phosphorylated carbocyclic Coformycin).
- AMP deaminase The consequence of the inhibition of AMP deaminase is presumably an accumulation of AMP, which is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) by the activity of the adenylate kinase.
- a measurable consequence of the application of the herbicide is the increase in the ATP concentration, since the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is determined by the availability of ADP and free phosphate (Dancer et al., Plant Physiol., 114 (1997), 119- 129).
- Plant AMP deaminases could be partially purified from tissues of various plants (Yoshino & Murakami, Z. Plant Physiology, 99 (1980), 331-338; Lo Floc'h & Lafleuriel, Physiol. Veg., 21, (1982), 15- 17, Yabuki & Ashihara, Phytochemistry, 31 (1992) 1905-1909, Dancer et al., Plant Physiol., 114 (1997), 119-129). So far, however, no peptide sequences have been obtained from partially purified AMP deaminase fractions from plants, so that oligonucleotides for the detection of corresponding gene sequences could have been derived from this.
- the availability of required amounts of an enzyme with high purity is advantageous for such a test system.
- the availability of a recombinantly produced plant AMP deaminase would greatly facilitate the process of finding inhibitors of the enzyme.
- larger quantities could be produced more easily and inexpensively, and on the other hand, its use would prevent the influence of disruptive side activities that can occur or must be taken into account when using raw plant extracts.
- the ability to produce a recombinant enzyme requires the provision of a DNA molecule or cDNA molecule that has the nucleic acid sequence encoding such a plant AMP deaminase.
- a cDNA molecule is a double-stranded DNA molecule, which is synthesized by synthesis of a DNA strand complementary to the mRNA, the so-called cDNA first strand, and subsequent synthesis of the first strand complementary second strand of DNA is obtained.
- This method is a method known to the person skilled in the art in order to convert sequence information present at the mRNA level into a more manipulable and clonable nucleic acid, the DNA.
- the isolated nucleic acid molecules thus obtained and the sequence information contained on them can then be used to implement an in vitro test system (screening) which is based on the use of the proteins encoded and expressed by at least one cDNA sequence.
- the cDNA obtained is cloned into a suitable expression system which serves to express the protein encoded by the cDNA, in this case the AMP deaminase, in a suitable host organism.
- This recombinant protein can then be obtained in a sufficiently pure form from the expression batch and is available for biochemical analysis or else directly for an in vitro test system in which the effectiveness of substances, for example from different chemical libraries, is tested based on precisely this protein can be.

In addition, the fusion of a hydrophobic protein which tends to form inclusion bodies with a hydrophilic protein often prevents aggregation. A recombinant protein can be purified significantly more efficiently if a protein domain is added by the gene fusion which has been carried out, which purification by means of affinity chromatography A distinction is made here between real fusion proteins, which consist of heterologous proteins or protein domains, from proteins which have so-called “tags”.

- plant explants can expediently be cultivated with Agrobactenum tumefaciens or Agrobactenum rhizogenes.
- Whole plants can then be regenerated from the infected plant material (e.g. leaf pieces, stem segments, roots, but also protoplast or suspension-cultivated plant cells) in a suitable medium, which can contain antibiotics or biocides for the selection of transformed cells.
- the plants thus obtained can then be examined for the presence of the introduced nucleic acid sequences.
- the nucleic acid sequence that has been introduced is integrated into the genome of the plant cell, it is generally stable there and is also retained in the progeny of the originally transformed cell. It usually contains a selection marker that gives the transformed plant cells resistance to a biocide or an antibiotic such as kanamycin, G 418, bleomycin, hygromycin or phosphinotricin and others. taught.

- the resulting PCR fragment had a size of approximately 2500 bp.
- This fragment was isolated and integrated into the bacterial expression vector PASK IBA3 (IBA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- the vector pASK IBA3 was cut with oa 1 / Bsa I and the PCR amplificate with Nhe I and Bsa I.
- the vector was isolated on a preparative TBE agarose gel.

- the spacer results in an additional pro-pro amino acid sequence at the carboxy-terminal end.
- the spacer is followed by a nucleic acid sequence which codes for a so-called strep tag (IBA) and which ends with a stop codon, so that the carboxy-terminal end is clearly defined.
- IBA strep tag
- the cDNA clone coding for the AMP deaminase from Arabidopsis thaliana which corresponds to SEQ ID NO 1, was used in accordance with the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure in the DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH deposited.
- the assigned DSMZ catalog number is: DSMZ Plasmid PASK IBA3-AMP-Deaminase - DSM 13440
- RNA samples which had previously been subjected to ethanol precipitation, were pelleted and dried.
- the RNA was resuspended in 30 ⁇ l denaturation buffer, heated to 70 ° C. for 15 minutes and mixed with 3 ⁇ l application buffer before application. The electrophoresis was carried out at 100 V for 5 hours.
- the nylon membrane Hybond-NX (Amersham Lifescience) was used for the Northern blot. The transfer took place according to the method of Sambrook, Fritsch, Maniatis (Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual). 20 ⁇ SSC (sodium salt citrate, tri-sodium citrate) was used as transfer medium; the transfer from the gel to the filter membrane took place over a total time of 24 hours. The membrane was then washed with 4 x SSC. The RNA was fixed covalently (UV crosslink) with the Stratalinker II (Stratagene) on the membrane. The membrane was prehybridized with 50 ml Herby buffer in a roller hybridization oven at 60 ° C. for 4 hours.
- the nucleic acid fragments were labeled with the Random Primer Labeling System Kit (Gibco BRL) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- the radiolabelled, heat-denatured probe was then added to the hybridization mix. Hybridization was carried out at a temperature of 60 ° C for 16 hours.
- the nylon membrane was washed once with wash buffer 1 for 10 minutes at 60 ° C. This was followed by successive further washing steps for 10 minutes each at 60 ° C. with washing buffer 2 and washing buffer 3 until sufficient stringency was achieved. Sufficient stringency means that non-specific hybridizations of the Arabidopsis ffta / Zana hybridization probe on the Filter membrane could no longer be detected. Only then was the filter exposed in the presence of an X-ray film.
- RNA in Arabidopsis thaliana which corresponds to the length of the full-length cDNA clone.
- a signal which had been isolated from Zea mays and Brassica napus, a signal, albeit a weaker hybridizing one, could be detected which corresponded to the hybridizing Arabidopsis thaliana-RHA in its running distance. Because in all cases the same starting quantity of the total RNA applied to the gel, the weaker hybridization signal can be interpreted in two directions in the case of Zea mays and Brassica napus.
- RNA coding for the AMP deaminase is present in Zea mays and Brassica napus in a smaller amount than in Arabidopsis thaliana based on the total amount of RNA, or the sequence of the AMP deaminase RNA from Zea mays and Brassica napus has a certain heterology compared to the hybridization probe used from Arabidopsis thaliana.
- a combination of both effects is also possible, so that a less expressed AMP deaminase RNA, which additionally also has a certain sequence heterology to the hybridization probe obtained from Arabidopsis thaliana, gives a weaker signal overall.
- the present full-length cDNA of AMP deaminase from Arabidopsis thaliana was converted into the vectors pRMHa-N (day at the N-terminus) and pRMHa-C (day at the C-terminus), which are described in Benting J. et al., Anal Biochem, 278 (2000), 59-68.
- the full-length cDNA of the AMP-DA was amplified with the aid of PCR and then cloned into the corresponding interfaces of the insect expression vectors pRMHa-N or pRMHa-C.
- the His tag (corresponds to 10 histidine residues) is located at the N-terminus of the AMP deaminase
- the His tag (corresponds to 10 histidine residues) is located at the C-terminus of the AMP deaminase
- the primers were selected so that the SEQ ID NO 1 after the PCR into the two vectors could be inserted that there was a complete open reading frame (His tag plus the AMP deaminase encoded by the cDNA).
- the plasmid PASK IBA3-AMP-DA was used as template for the cDNA of the AMP deaminase.
- 1 ⁇ l (100ng / ⁇ l) of the plasmid was used and mixed with 5 ⁇ l PCR buffer, 1 ⁇ l 5'AMP-DA pRN-Ntag (25pmol), 1 ⁇ l 3'AMP-DA pRN-Ntag (25 pmol), or 1 ⁇ l 5'AMP-DA pRN-Ctag (25pmol), 1 ⁇ l 3'AMP-DA pRN-Ctag (25 pmol), 1 ⁇ l dNTPs (25mmol) and 40 ⁇ l H 2 O as well as 1 ⁇ l native Pfu polymerase [2 , 5U / ⁇ l] (Stratagene).
- the PCR program carried out comprised the following cycles:
- PCR batches were separated on a 1% TBE agarose gel using the standard method (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY). A PCR amplificate of approximately 2500 bp was obtained. The resulting PCR product was integrated into the expression vectors pRMHa-N and pRMHA-C via the restriction sites Barn Hl and Kpnl.
- SL-3 cells were sown 1 day before the transfection in a concentration of 2x10 ⁇ cells / 3 cm dish. The cells were washed with serum-free SF-900II medium. A transfection was carried out with 1.5 ⁇ g pRMHa-N-AMP-DA / pRMHa-C-AMP-Da and 0.5 ⁇ g PIZ ⁇ 5-His (Invitrogen) and 6 ⁇ l FuGene ⁇ (Röche) in SF-900II (without addition of fetal Calf serum and antibiotics) in a total volume of 1ml. Two days after the transfection, the cells were placed under selection (1 mg / ml Zeocin) (Invitrogen). An aliquot was then removed for a gel electrophoretic analysis (Western blot) and for an enzymatic activity test.
- the Western blot was carried out according to the customary methods (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY).
- the detection of the expressed recombinant AMP deaminase was carried out exactly as described by Benting (Benting J. et al., Anal Biochem, 278 (2000), 59-68).
- the expected band of approximately 90 KDa was clearly detected, which corresponds to the expected size of the recombinant protein to be expressed, the AMP deaminase.
- test buffer 60 mM Na citrate (Merck), 100 mM KCI (Merck), 0.02% Triton X-100 (Merck), pH 7.1.
- the reaction was started by adding 50 ⁇ l of substrate solution (0.6 mM AMP (Sigma), 1 mM ATP (Sigma), 1 ⁇ M diadenosine pentaphosphate (Sigma), dissolved in test buffer). After an incubation of 2 h at 25 ° C., the reaction was stopped by adding 50 ⁇ l phenol solution.
