Problems solved by technology

Current research indicates that the production of genetically modified bioplastics may be limited by the supply of acetyl-CoA (Nawrath et al., PNAS USA 91:12760-12764 (1994))

Embodiment 1

[0130] This example describes the cloning of ACS cDNA from Arabidopsis and comparison of its sequence with that of E. coli and S. cerevisiae.

[0131] The deduced amino acid sequences of the E. coli and S. cerevisiae ACS genes were searched using the program BLAST against the dbEST database (National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Maryland). One Arabidopsisthaliana cDNA clone was identified as a possible ACS gene. This clone, 220J9T7 (accession number N38599), was obtained from the Arabidopsis Research Center for Biology (ARBC) at Ohio State University.

[0132] Plastid DNA of this clone was prepared and sequenced by the Biotechnology Instrumentation Facility of Iowa State University. Analysis of the sequence data found that this clone (J9) encoded approximately 40% of the ACSC-terminal portion. Repeated searches of dbEST failed to reveal any longer cloned sequences.

[0133] The remainder of the ACS gene was isolated using cRACE (Maruyama et a...

Embodiment 2

[0139] This example describes the production of polyclonal antibodies to Arabidopsis ACS.

[0140] PCR primers were designed to allow the coding region of clone J9 to be PCR amplified as a DNA fragment terminated by a restriction site suitable for cloning into the E. coli protein expression plasmid pMALC-2 (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA). The expression vector clone J9-NT1 / pMALC-2 was constructed according to the instructions provided by the vector supplier. When transcribed into E. coli and induced with isopropylthio-β-galactoside (IPTG), this clone results in the production of a recombinant chimeric fusion protein consisting of the C-terminal portion of the Arabidopsis ACS in conjunction with E. coli maltose protein (MBP) fusion. The recombinant protein was purified from one liter of transformed E. coli culture and purified using amylose columns from New England Biolabs according to the manufacturer's protocol. Purified proteins were analyzed by electrophoresis for puri...

Embodiment 3

[0142] This example describes the cloning of the E1[alpha], E1[beta] and E3 subunit cDNAs of pPDH, and compares the cDNA sequence encoding the E1[beta] subunit with the red algae pPDH sequence and the Arabidopsis mtPDH sequence.

[0143] The deduced amino acid sequences of the E1α and E1β subunits of Porphyra PDH were searched against the dbEST database using the program BLAST. A clone identified as likely to be pPDH was obtained from ABRC at Ohio State University.

[0144] Arabidopsis EST clones 232D14T7 (N65567) and 232D13T7 (N65566) showed a significant degree of homology to the PDH Elα subunit of Porphyra. Both clones contain the same nucleotide sequence, encoding all amino acids except the first 50-70 amino acids of the pPDHE1α subunit. Clone 232D14T7 (D14) was selected for sequencing. The DNA sequence of this clone comprises SEQ ID NO: 3 and the deduced amino acid sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 4 (see Figure 2 and Sequence Listing).

Abstract

The present invention provides nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of acetyl CoA synthetase (ACS), plastidic pyruvate dehydrogenase (pPDH), ATP citrate lyase (ACL), Arabidopsis pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), and Arabidopsis aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), specifically ALDH-2 and ALDH-4. The present invention also provides a recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding one of the aforementioned enzymes, an antisense sequence thereto or a ribozyme therefor, a cell transformed with such a vector, antibodies to the enzymes, a plant cell, a plant tissue, a plant organ or a plant in which the level of an enzyme has been altered, and a method of producing such a plant cell, plant tissue, plant organ or plant. Desirably, alteration of the level of enzyme results in an alteration of the level of acetyl CoA in the plant cell, plant tissue, plant organ or plant. In addition, the present invention provides a recombinant vector comprising an antisense sequence of a nucleic acid sequence encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), the E1 alpha subunit of pPDH, the E1 beta subunit of pPDH, the E2 subunit of pPDH, mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase (mtPDH) or aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) or a ribozyme that can cleave an RNA molecule encoding PDC, E1 alpha pPDH, E1 beta pPDH, E2pPDH, mtPDH or ALDH.
