MODE(S) FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION(S)
(26) The present invention includes a variety of aspects, which may be combined in different ways. The following descriptions are provided to list elements and describe some of the embodiments of the present invention. These elements are listed with initial embodiments, however it should be understood that they may be combined in any manner and in any number to create additional embodiments. The variously described examples and preferred embodiments should not be construed to limit the present invention to only the explicitly described systems, techniques, and applications. Further, this description should be understood to support and encompass descriptions and claims of all the various embodiments, systems, techniques, methods, devices, and applications with any number of the disclosed elements, with each element alone, and with any and all various permutations and combinations of all elements in this or any subsequent application.
(27) Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for genetic control of plant pathogens, pest infestations, and herbivores all generally being collectively described as plant pathogen(s). Methods for identifying one or more gene(s) essential to the lifecycle of a plant pathogen, pest and/or herbivore for use as a target gene for enhanced siRNA-mediated interference are also provided. DNA plasmid vectors encoding inhibitory RNA molecules may be designed to suppress one or more target gene(s) essential for growth, survival, development, and/or reproduction of a plant pathogen. Genetically modified endophytic bacteria, or other microorganisms, that may be engineered to efficiently infect, produce, and deliver such inhibitory RNA molecules is also described in the present invention.
(28) In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for post-transcriptional repression of expression or inhibition of a target gene via nucleic acid molecules that are complementary to a coding or non-coding sequence of the target gene in a plant pathogen. In these and further embodiments, a pest or herbivore may ingest one or more dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, and/or hpRNA molecules transcribed from all or a portion of a nucleic acid molecule that is complementary to a coding or non-coding sequence of a target gene, thereby providing a plant-protective effect.
(29) One embodiment of the present inventive technology may include systems and methods for introducing inhibitory RNA molecules into a target plant cell through infection by genetically engineered microorganisms. In one embodiment, the invention may provide for genetically engineered microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or even viruses that may express one or more inhibitory RNA molecules within plant cells. In certain embodiments such inhibitory RNA molecules may initiate biological process in which the inhibitory RNA molecules inhibit or knock-down gene expression, typically by causing the destruction of specific targeted mRNA molecules within the cell. Additional embodiments may introduce inhibitory RNA molecules into plant systems that inhibit genes necessary for plant pathogenesis. Such embodiments may include introduction of inhibitory RNA molecules into plant systems that may target viral coat proteins, fungal cell wall genes, unique, species-specific gene sequences targeting suppression of genes involved in the replication and production of DNA and RNA, insect exoskeleton component genes, species-specific metabolic genes and herbivores.
(30) Additional preferred embodiments may include improved delivery systems for inhibitory RNA molecules, for example through the use of stabilizing factors, such as stabilizing proteins and the like. Another preferred embodiment of the inventive technology may include improved systems to facilitate the transmission of inhibitory RNA molecules within the plant cell, either by co-delivery of smRNA or dsRNA precursor stabilizing proteins or hpRNA/dsRNA intra-cellular transport proteins. In one embodiment, specific RNA motifs may be incorporated into dsRNA that may facilitate its transmission through, for example the plant phloem, or direct smRNA loading to a specific effector complex. Yet further embodiments may include genetically modified microorganisms that may include genetic constructs that may further co-express certain protein having processing enzymatic activity.
(31) Other similar embodiments may include the introduction of microorganisms into plant systems that may express, or even over-express various genes that may enhance mobilization of inhibitory RNA molecules and/or genes that may activate secondary downstream host genes that may target pathogenic pathways.
(32) One preferred embodiment of the present invention may be to provide leaf and root endophytic and ectophytic bacteria that may further be genetically engineered to express inhibitory RNA molecules, such as dsRNA, shRNA, hpRNA (that may, in some embodiments, contain an intron from a targeted organism located at the hairpin loop of the dsRNA), siRNA, and microRNAs that are homologous to the pathogen genome, and again target critical or essential genes responsible for growth, reproduction, metabolism or pathogenicity. These inhibitory RNA molecules may inactivate and/or knock-down expression of these essential targeted genes in plant viral, fungal, and insect pathogens and pests through generation of 21-22 nucleotide siRNAs mediated by the host Dicer/RISC complex. This process may generally be referred to as RNA interference or RNAi.
(33) As used herein, RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological mechanism which leads to post transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, for example provided by hpRNA, to prevent the expression of specific genes. For example, in one preferred embodiment, RNA interference may be accomplished as short hpRNA molecules may be imported directly into the cytoplasm, anneal together to form a dsRNA, and then cleaved to short fragments by the Dicer enzyme. This enzyme Dicer may processes the dsRNA into 21-22-nucleotide fragment with a 2-nucleotide overhang at the 3 end, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The antisense strand of siRNA become specific to endonuclease-protein complex, RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which then targets the homologous RNA and degrades it at specific site that results in the knock-down of protein expression.
(34) Endophytic bacteria that may transmit hpRNA, dsRNA, shRNA, siRNA and microRNA species to plants include those in the subphyla: Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, Armatimonadetes, Bacteroides, Betaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Firmicutes, Grammaproteobacteria, TM7, Bacillus, Escherichia and the like. In one preferred embodiment, endophytic, entophytic, or any bacteria that may infect or otherwise colonize a plant or live in its surface leaf, stem or root, may be transformed with artificially created genetic constructs, such as plasmids that may generate the inhibitory RNA molecules. Such plasmids may be constructed to be transferrable to other bacteria through conjugation which may allow for widespread environmental inoculation in some instances, as well as vertical transmission among offspring of the plant and any pest or herbivore that ingests the plant matter as an example.
(35) In this embodiment, such constructs may include transcription regulation portions, such as promoters, terminators, co-activators and co-repressors and similar control elements that may be regulated in prokaryotic, as well as eukaryotic systems. Such systems may allow for control of the type, timing, and amount of inhibitory RNA molecules expressed within the systems. Additional embodiments may include genetic constructs that may be induced through outside factors, such as the presence of a specific protein or compound within the plant cell, such as stress-related proteins generated in response to plant pathogens or even the proteins and other precursor compounds generated by plant pathogens and the like.
(36) In another preferred embodiment, the present inventive technology may include systems and methods whereby genetically transformed leaf and root endophytic and ectophytic bacteria that generate one or more inhibitory RNA molecules may be delivered to targeted plant phyla and/or species where the inhibitory RNA molecules may inactivate and/or knock-down expression of target viral, fungal as well as insect pathogens and herbivores. In certain embodiments, a selection of microorganisms, such as bacteria that are known to be specific to one phyla or even a certain species may be utilized. In another embodiment, transcriptional activation and promotion of inhibitory RNA molecules may be dependent on the presence of certain factors that may be specific to one phyla, or even a certain plant or herbivore species. Additional embodiments may include increased virulence factors, such as the expression or inhibition of surface protein and importation factors for specific plant phyla or even specific plant species, as well as the possible inhibition of bacterial factors, such as surface or other by-product proteins that may be recognized by, for example, intracellular host receptors that may cause the host plant cell to mount an immune-type defense.
(37) In another preferred embodiment, the inventive technology may include systems and methods for the trans-kingdom delivery of pathogen as well as species-specific inhibitory RNA molecules that may further be stabilized by one or more proteins or protein complexes. In certain embodiments, such stabilizing proteins may include the P19 protein selected from plant RNA virus, tombusvirus which may contribute to the suppression of a plant's RNA silencing response. In certain embodiments, for example the P19 protein may recognize and bind siRNA, typically as a dimer. In the manner, the P19 protein may sequester the siRNA, whether exogenous or endogenous, and as a consequence prevent its loading into Argonaute proteins and formation of RISC(RNA-induced silencing complex).
(38) In another preferred embodiment, the inventive technology may include the incorporation of RNA mobilization motifs into inhibitory RNA molecules, such as dsRNA, to facilitate transmission of the bacterial synthesized RNA through the plant phloem and may be co-expressed in the bacteria with the RNA species targeting inactivation of pathogen and herbivore essential genes. For example, plasmodesmata and phloem form a simplistic network that mediates direct cell-cell communication and transport throughout a plant. Selected endogenous RNAs, viral RNAs, avoid traffic between specific cells or organs via this network. As noted above, in one preferred embodiment, inhibitory RNA molecules may be generated to contain sequence/structural motifs that interact with cellular factors to facilitate trafficking across cellular boundaries.
(39) In certain embodiments multiple inhibitory RNA molecules, expressing different sequence/structural motifs may be concurrently expressed. In this embodiment, the differing sequence/structural motifs may allow recognition of specific motifs allowing multi-direction trafficking of inhibitory RNA molecules across multiple specific cellular boundaries and/or cell types. Such motifs may further be configured to exhibit specific activity, or inactivity within certain phyla and/or species.
(40) Yet another embodiment of the inventive technology may include development of novel bacterial strains that have decreased RNase III expression, or inactivated RNase III function or activity, generally referred to as suppresses activity. This decrease or inactivation in RNAase III expression and/or activity may inhibit or decrease RNase III-mediated processing of dsRNA species into smaller RNA species.
(41) Additional embodiments may include novel bacterial strains that overexpress RNase III such that processing of dsRNA species to smaller RNA species is enhanced. The inventive technology may also include development of systems and methods to bacterially express dsRNAs encoding viral siRNA to trigger secondary host (plant) RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase-dependent expression of secondary siRNAs to target viral and fungal inactivation. Each of the aforementioned systems may be embodied in genetic constructs that may include transcription regulation elements such as promoters, terminators, co-activators and co-repressors and other control elements that may be regulated in prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic systems. Such systems may allow for control of the type, timing and amount of, for example RNAase III or other proteins, expressed within the system. Additional embodiments may include genetic constructs that may be induced through outside factors, such as the presence of a specific protein or compound within the plant cell, such as stress-related proteins generated in response to plant pathogens or even proteins and other precursor compounds generated by plant pathogens and the like.
(42) Another embodiment of the inventive technology may include systems and methods to facilitate the overexpression of plant host, exogenous or genetically-modified strains of bacteria having genes known to enhance siRNA mobilization. For example, as shown in Tables 5-8 and below, overexpression of certain proteins identified in column one below may enhance siRNA mobilization throughout the subject plant or other system.
(43) In one preferred embodiment, additional embodiments of the inventive technology may include a novel system of trans-kingdom delivery and expression of hpRNAs homologous to a pathogen's genome/gene and efficiently down-regulates or eliminates viral replication and translation of essential proteins necessary for pathogen growth, metabolism, or pathogenicity etc.
(44) Additional embodiments of the inventive technology may include a novel system of trans-kingdom delivery and expression of inhibitory RNA molecules, such as dsRNA, shRNA, siRNA and micro RNAs, in engineered endophytic bacteria that may be found in plant roots, stems, leaves and reproductive organs. In this embodiment, the inventive technology may include various cross-kingdom mechanisms for the knock-down of targeted genes that may, for example, allow for enhanced cold, heat, salt, drought, and abiotic stress tolerance as well as integrating novel traits in various plant species including insect/pest/pathogen resistance and enhanced nutritional output, to name a few.
(45) In another preferred embodiment, RNase III mutants of endophytic bacteria harboring plasmids encoding hairpin dsRNAs targeting suppression of pathogen proteins will suppress said proteins in plants infected with said pathogen expressing a pathogen genome encoded pathogen gene.
(46) One preferred embodiment includes an endophytic bacterial delivery of dsRNA, processing to siRNA in plants and suppressing one or more pathogen encoded genes. In another preferred embodiment, an endophytic bacterial delivery of dsRNA, may include RNase III mutants of bacteria having no, or suppressed RNase III, harboring plasmids encoding hairpin dsRNAs, targeting suppression of pathogen proteins that may suppress said proteins in plants infected with said pathogen.
(47) One embodiment of the present invention provides for a method of enhancing a plant's resistance to plant pathogens, such as viral and fungal diseases by introducing one or more genetically modified bacteria that may naturally colonize said target plant, encoding or interfering RNA molecules described herein such that the plant containing the heterologous DNA produces the interfering RNA molecule, such as hpRNA, and the interfering RNA molecule kills target plant pathogen, or suppresses expression of one or more of the target plant's pathogenic or critical genes.
(48) Another embodiment provides for a method of enhancing a plant's resistance to viral diseases wherein the plant's resistance to the target viral diseases is greater than said wild-type plant's resistance to the target viral diseases. Another embodiment provides for a method of enhancing a plant's resistance to pests, wherein the plant's resistance to the target pest is greater than said wild-type plant's resistance to the target pest. Another embodiment provides for a method of enhancing a plant's resistance to herbivores, wherein the plant's resistance to the target herbivore is greater than said wild-type plant's resistance to the target herbivore.
(49) Another embodiment demonstrated by the current inventors, may include the generation of pathogen resistant plant. In this preferred embodiment, targeting a pathogen's essential RNA transcripts by the host's RNAi machinery may result in essential pathogen RNA degradation and hence failure to translate pathogen's essential mRNAs into proteins. In this embodiment, boosting of the plant host's RNAi defenses, by a novel trans-kingdom delivery of an inhibitory RNA molecule, such as a hairpin RNA homologous to the pathogen encoded protein, may result in the loss or decrease in the pathogen's encoded protein accumulation by triggering smRNA biogenesis in the plant host, ultimately conferring resistance to pathogen infection.
(50) Another embodiment demonstrated by the current inventors, may include the generation of a viral pathogen resistant plant. In this preferred embodiment, a plant may be infected with endophyte bacteria producing an hpRNA homologous to an essential viral encoded protein. These hpRNA transcripts may be processed by the host's RNAi machinery and result in essential viral RNA degradation and hence failure to translate the viral pathogen's essential mRNAs into proteins. In this embodiment, boosting of the plant host's RNAi defenses, by a novel trans-kingdom delivery of an inhibitory RNA molecule, such as a hairpin RNA homologous to the viral encoded protein, may result in the loss or decrease in viral encoded accumulation by triggering smRNA biogenesis in the plant host, ultimately conferring resistance to pathogen infection.
(51) In one embodiment, the invention may include the use of Bacillus cereus as an endophytic bacteria expressing plasmids encoding hpRNAs targeting the suppression of pathogen proteins expressed in a plant cell.

(55) In certain other embodiments, the hpRNA generated by one or more of these endophytic bacteria strains may migrate throughout the plant, leaf, root or stem from an original site of infection or introduction. In certain other embodiments, the hpRNA generated by one or more of these endophytic bacteria strains may migrate throughout the plant, leaf, root or stem from an original site of infection or introduction, as well as prevent the migration of plant pathogen migration/signal.
(56) Further still, another embodiment comprises a composition comprising a genetically modified bacteria configured to colonize a target plant and deliver one or more inhibitory RNA molecules to inhibit one or more plant pathogens essential genes, as well as provide increased pathogen resistance, such method as disclosed herein as a topical treatment of plants at risk for infection or for plant that are already infected with a target pathogen.
(57) In certain embodiments, this may include the use of bacteria strains and helper genes that enhance dsRNA production, stabilization, export and/or delivery into plant cells or locations where plant pathogens are located. As noted above, bacteria have developed a number of secretion systems including:
(58) Type I secretion systems (TiSSs), exemplified by the haemolysin secretion system in Escherichia coli, are simple, tripartite systems facilitating the passage of proteins of various sizes across the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. They consist of an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter or a proton-antiporter, an adaptor protein that bridges the inner membrane (IM) and outer membrane (OM), and an outer membrane pore. They secrete substrates in a single step without a stable periplasmic intermediate. TiSSs are involved in the secretion of cytotoxins belonging to the RTX (repeats-in-toxin) protein family, cell surface layer proteins, proteases, lipases, bacteriocins, and haem-acquisition proteins.
(59) Type II secretion systems (T2SSs) are multicomponent machines that use a two-step mechanism for translocation. During the first step, the precursor effector protein is translocated through the inner membrane by the Sec translocon or the Tat pathway. Once in the periplasm, the effector protein is translocated by the T2SS through the outer membrane. The T2SS translocon consists of 12-16 protein component that are found in both bacterial membranes, the cytoplasm and the periplasm. The T2SS shows an evolutionary relationship with the type IV pilus assembly machinery.
(60) Type III secretion systems (T3SSs), also called injectisomes, mediate a single-step secretion mechanism and are used by many plant and animal pathogens, including Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Yersinia spp., enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The T3SS is illustrated by the Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium system, which uses the invasion (Inv) and Prg proteins (see lower figure). T3SSs deliver effector proteins into the eukaryotic host cell cytoplasm in a Sec-independent manner. T3SSs are genetically, structurally and functionally related to bacterial flagella. They are composed of more than 20 different proteins, which form a large supramolecular structure crossing the bacterial cell envelope.
(61) Type IV secretion systems are versatile systems that are found in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and that secrete a wide range of substrates, from single proteins to protein-protein and protein-DNA complexes. These systems are exemplified by the Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirB/D system.
(62) Type V secretion systems (T5SSs) include autotransporters and two-partner secretion systems. T5SSs translocate substrates in two steps. Autotransporter proteins, such as NalP from Neisseria meningitidis, are multidomain proteins that are secreted as precursor proteins across the inner membrane in a Sec-dependent process. Subsequently, the translocator domain of the protein inserts into the outer membrane and facilitates surface localization of the passenger domain. In two-partner secretion systems, a separate translocator protein (TpsB) mediates the secretion of the effector protein (TpsA) through the outer membrane. Over 700 proteins with functions that include auto-aggregation, adherence, invasion, cytotoxicity, serum resistance, cell-to-cell spread and proteolysis use these two secretion systems to cross both inner and outer membranes during a simple two-step process.
(63) Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are recently discovered secretion systems that are found in several pathogens such as P. aeruginosa, enteroaggregative E. coli, S. Typhimurium, Vibrio cholerae and Yersinia pestis. T6SSs are multi-component systems that could be composed of 12 to 25 subunits.
(64) One embodiment of the present invention may include exploiting bacterial secretion systems to enhance delivery of dsRNA to the plant host. In one preferred embodiment, the invention may include a system for enhancing bacterial Type IV secretion systems to deliver dsRNA to plant cells. For example, the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses the type IV secretion system to deliver a VirD2-single stranded DNA complex as well as the virulence proteins VirD5, VirE2, VirE3, and VirF into host cells. One embodiment may include a fusion of dsRNA binding proteins to the Vir proteins could facilitate dsRNA delivery to insect cells.
(65) In one embodiment, the invention may include a system for enhancing bacterial Type VI secretion systems for delivery of dsRNA to cells. In this preferred embodiment, overexpression of the bacterial gene yfgL may enhance phosphatidyl glycerol (membrane lipid) synthesis and vesicle production and budding. In another embodiment, mutation of the hns gene, a global regulatory factor that regulates many virulence factors, may cause an increase in E. coli vesicle production. In another embodiments, Salmonella and P. aeruginosa mutants missing the LPS O-antigen side chain also show increased vesicle formation.
(66) In one embodiment, the invention may include a system for Enhancing dsRNA stabilization and mobilization into the plant cell. Some embodiments may include, but not be limited to: Co-expression, or over expression the nucleotidyltransferase (MUT2) is essential for mobilization of RNA between cells MicroRNAs derived from dsRNA having a motif that is bound by sumoylated hnRNPA2B1 have been found to be enriched in vesicles secreted from T cells, RNAs with a miR-1289 binding site and a sequence motif (CUGCC presented in a stem-loop structure), MicroRNAs with non-templated 3 uridylation ndogenous RNAs in cells can modulate the sorting of miRNAs into extracellular vesicles. Co-expression, or over expression the Ago2 protein Four C. elegans proteins with relatively well characterized roles in the import of RNA into cells were identified (Winston et al., 2002). Additional alleles of the same genes were identified in two other screensthe fed (feeding RNAi defective) screen (Timmons et al., 2003) and the rsd (RNAi spreading defective) screen. Co-expression of the bromovirus P19 protein to facilitate stabilization and delivery of shRNA to cell Expression of fusion proteins between secretion effector proteins and dsRNA binding protein, e.g. Argonaut (Ago) protein involved in dsRNA processing, to facilitate stabilization and delivery of shRNAs into host cells. Co-expression, or over expression any gene identified in Tables 5-8 below. Employed, as part of the invention described herein, any of the strain identified in Table 7 below.
(67) Further still, another embodiment comprises a composition comprising a genetically modified bacteria configured to colonize a target plant and deliver one or more inhibitory RNA molecules to inhibit one or more plant pathogen essential genes, as well as provide increased pathogen resistance, such method as disclosed herein as an aerial treatment of plants at risk for infection or for plants that are already infected with a target pathogen. In a preferred embodiment, this aerial treatment may include an aerosol, a liquid or desiccated bacteria or spore application.
(68) In an embodiment, the plant is a monocot, or a cell of a monocot plant. For example, the monocot plant is in the gramineae and cereal groups.

(78) Any gene being expressed in a cell (preferably a plant cell) can be targeted. A gene that is expressed in the cell is one that is transcribed to yield RNA (e.g., miRNA) and, optionally, a protein. The target gene can be an endogenous gene or an exogenous or foreign gene (i.e., a transgene or a pathogen gene). For example, a transgene that is present in the genome of a cell as a result of genomic integration of the viral delivery construct can be regulated using inhibitory RNA according to the invention. The foreign gene can be integrated into the host genome (preferably the chromosomal DNA), or it may be present on an extra-chromosomal genetic construct such as a plasmid or a cosmid. For example, the target gene may be present in the genome of the cell into which the interfering RNA is introduced through the novel trans-kingdom method described herein, or similarly in the genome of a pathogen, such as a virus, a bacterium, a fungus or a protozoan, which is capable of infecting such organism or cell.
(79) Preferably the target gene is an endogenous gene of the cell or a heterologous gene relative to the genome of the cell, such as a pathogen gene. Preferably, the gene of a pathogen is from a pathogen capable of infecting an eukaryotic organism. Most preferably, said pathogen is selected from the group of virus, bacteria, fungi and nematodes as noted above. By expressing the inhibitory RNA of the invention in plants, not only plant genes can function as target genes for gene silencing, but also genes of organisms which infect plants or eat plants (as food or feed). Thus the target gene can also be a gene of an animal or plant pathogen. The target gene is preferably selected from the group consisting of genes in a plant or of a plant infecting pathogen. Preferably, the expression of the target gene (as measured by the expressed RNA or protein) is reduced, inhibited or attenuated by at least 10%, preferably at least 30% or 40%, preferably at least 50% or 60%, more preferably at least 80%, most preferably at least 90% or 95% or 100%.
(80) The levels of target products such as transcripts or proteins may be decreased throughout an organism such as a plant, pest or herbivore, or such decrease in target products may be localized in one or more specific organs or tissues of the organism. For example, the levels of products may be decreased in one or more of the tissues and organs of a plant including without limitation: roots, tubers, stems, leaves, stalks, fruit, berries, nuts, bark, pods, seeds and flowers. A preferred organ is a seed of a plant. A broad variety of target genes can be modulated by using the method of the invention, including genes in a plant but also genes or plant infecting or eating pathogens, animals, or even human. Preferably, the target gene is selected from the group consisting of plant endogenous, transgenes, or genes from a plant infecting pathogen. More preferably the plant infecting pathogen is selected from the group consisting of viruses, fungi, bacteria, insects, and nematodes.
(81) In the case of pathogens, the target or essential gene may, for example, be a house-keeping or other gene, which is essential for viability or proliferation of the pathogen. The attenuation or silencing of the target gene may have various effects (also depending on the nature of the target gene). Preferably, silencing or attenuating said target gene results in loss or reduction or the pathogen's harmful effects, i.e., pathogenicity, or an agronomic trait. Said agronomic trait may preferably be selected from the group consisting of disease resistance, herbicide resistance, resistance against biotic or abiotic stress, and improved nutritional value. In this context, the target gene may, for example, be preferably selected from the group consisting of genes involved in the synthesis and/or degradation of proteins, peptides, fatty acids, lipids, waxes, oils, starches, sugars, carbohydrates, flavors, odors, toxins, carotenoids, hormones, polymers, flavinoids, storage proteins, phenolic acids, alkaloids, lignins, tannins, celluloses, glycoproteins, and glycolipids. All these sequences are well known to the person skilled in the art and can be easily obtained from DNA data bases by those of ordinary skill in the art (e.g., GenBank).
(82) In certain embodiments, the novel trans-kingdom delivery of inhibitory RNA molecules, namely the methods and means of the invention may be especially suited for obtaining pathogen (e.g., virus or nematode) resistance, in eukaryotic cells or organisms, particularly in plant cells and plants. It is expected that the inhibitory RNA molecules (or the dsRNA molecules derived therefrom) produced by transcription in a host organism (e.g., a plant), can spread systemically throughout the organism. Thus it is possible to reduce the phenotypic expression of a nucleic acid in cells of a non-transgenic scion of a plant grafted onto a transgenic stock comprising the genes of the invention (or vice versa) a method which may be important in horticulture, viticulture or in fruit production. A resistance to plant pathogens such as arachnids, fungi, insects, nematodes, protozoans, viruses, bacteria and diseases can be achieved by reducing the gene expression of genes which are essential for the growth, survival, certain developmental stages (for example pupation), or the multiplication of a certain pathogen. A suitable reduction can bring about a complete inhibition of the above steps, but also a delay of one or more steps. This may include plant genes which, for example, allow the pathogen to enter, but may also be pathogen-homologous genes. Preferably, the inhibitory RNA (such as hpRNA or the dsRNA derived therefrom) is directed against genes of the pathogen. For example, plants can be treated with suitable formulations of above mentioned agents, for example sprayed or dusted; the plants themselves, however, may also comprise the agents in the form of a transgenic organism and pass them on to the pathogens, for example in the form of a stomach poison. Various essential genes of a variety of pathogens are known to those of ordinary skill in the art (for example for nematode resistance: WO 93/10251, WO 94/17194).
(83) Another aspect of methods of the novel trans-kingdom delivery of inhibitory RNA molecules described here provides a method where the target gene for suppression encodes a protein in a plant pathogen (e.g., an insect or nematode). In this aspect, a method comprises introducing into the genome of a pathogen-targeted plant a nucleic acid construct comprising DNA, such as a plasmid, which is transcribed into a inhibitory RNA, such as a hpRNA, that forms at least one dsRNA molecule which is effective for reducing expression of a target gene within the pathogen when the pathogen (e.g., insect or nematode) ingests or infects cells from said plant. In a preferred embodiment, the gene suppression is fatal to the pathogen. Most preferred as a pathogen are fungal pathogens, to the extent not already listed elsewhere, such as Phytophthora infestans, Fusarium nivale, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium oxysporum, Blumeria graminis, Magnaporthe grisea, Sclerotinia sclerotium, Septoria nodorum, Septoria tritici, Alternaria brassicae, Phoma lingam, and nematodes such as Globodera rostochiensis, G. pallida, Heterodera schachtii, Heterodera avenae, Ditylenchus dipsaci, Anguina tritici and Meloidogyne hapla.
(84) Resistance to pathogenic viruses can be obtained for example by reducing the expression of a viral coat protein, a viral replicase, a viral protease, a, a structural protein, a toxin and the like. A large number of plant viruses, and suitable target genes are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The methods and compositions of the present invention are especially useful to obtain nematode resistant plants (for target genes see e.g., WO 92/21757, WO 93/10251, WO 94/17194).
(85) Also provided by the invention is a method for obtaining pathogen resistant organisms, particularly plants, comprising the steps of providing cells of the organism with an inhibitory RNA molecule of the invention, said inhibitory RNA molecule capable to provide in an eukaryotic cell an at least partially double-stranded RNA molecule, said inhibitory RNA molecule comprising a) at least one first ribonucleotide sequence that is substantially identical to at least a part of a target nucleotide sequence of at least one gene of a pathogen, b) at least one second ribonucleotide sequence which is substantially complementary to said first nucleotide sequence and is capable to hybridize to said first nucleotide sequence to form a double-stranded RNA structure, and c) at least one third ribonucleotide sequence located between said first and said second ribonucleotide sequence comprising at least one removable RNA element, which can be removed by the RNA processing mechanism of an eukaryotic cell without subsequently covalently joining the resulting sequences comprising said first and said second ribonucleotide sequence, respectively. Preferably, said first ribonucleotide sequence has between 65 and 100% sequence identity, preferably between 75 and 100%, more preferably between 85 and 100%, most preferably between 95 and 100%, with at least part of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of a pathogen. More preferably the pathogen is selected from the group of virus, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
(86) Because this invention involves production of genetically modified bacteria and involves recombinant DNA techniques, the following definitions are provided to assist in describing this invention. The terms isolated, purified, or biologically pure as used herein, refer to material that is substantially or essentially free from components that normally accompany the material in its native state or when the material is produced. In an exemplary embodiment, purity and homogeneity are determined using analytical chemistry techniques such as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high performance liquid chromatography. A nucleic acid or particular bacteria that are the predominant species present in a preparation is substantially purified. In an exemplary embodiment, the term purified denotes that a nucleic acid or protein that gives rise to essentially one band in an electrophoretic gel. Typically, isolated nucleic acids or proteins have a level of purity expressed as a range. The lower end of the range of purity for the component is about 60%, about 70%, or about 80%, and the upper end of the range of purity is about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or more than about 90%.
(87) The term contact (with an plant): As used herein, the term contact with or uptake by an organism (e.g., a plant or pest or herbivore), with regard to a nucleic acid molecule, includes internalization of the nucleic acid molecule into the organism, for example and without limitation: ingestion of the molecule by the organism (e.g., by feeding); contacting the organism with a composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule; soaking of organisms with a solution comprising the nucleic acid molecule; injecting the organism with a composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule; and spraying the organism with an aerosol composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule.
(88) The term expression, as used herein, or expression of a coding sequence (for example, a gene or a transgene) refers to the process by which the coded information of a nucleic acid transcriptional unit (including, e.g., genomic DNA or cDNA) is converted into an operational, non-operational, or structural part of a cell, often including the synthesis of a protein. Gene expression can be influenced by external signals; for example, exposure of a cell, tissue, or organism to an agent that increases or decreases gene expression. Expression of a gene can also be regulated anywhere in the pathway from DNA to RNA to protein. Regulation of gene expression occurs, for example, through controls acting on transcription, translation, RNA transport and processing, degradation of intermediary molecules such as mRNA, or through activation, inactivation, compartmentalization, or degradation of specific protein molecules after they have been made, or by combinations thereof. Gene expression can be measured at the RNA level or the protein level by any method known in the art, including, without limitation, Northern blot, RT-PCR, Western blot, or in vitro, in situ, or in vivo protein activity assay(s).
(89) The term nucleic acid or nucleic acid molecules include single- and double-stranded forms of DNA; single-stranded forms of RNA; and double-stranded forms of RNA (dsRNA). The term nucleotide sequence or nucleic acid sequence refers to both the sense and antisense strands of a nucleic acid as either individual single strands or in the duplex. The term ribonucleic acid (RNA) is inclusive of iRNA (inhibitory RNA), dsRNA (double stranded RNA), siRNA (small interfering RNA), mRNA (messenger RNA), miRNA (micro-RNA), hpRNA (hairpin RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), whether charged or discharged with a corresponding acylated amino acid), and cRNA (complementary RNA). The term deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is inclusive of cDNA, genomic DNA, and DNA-RNA hybrids. The terms nucleic acid segment and nucleotide sequence segment, or more generally segment, will be understood by those in the art as a functional term that includes both genomic sequences, ribosomal RNA sequences, transfer RNA sequences, messenger RNA sequences, operon sequences, and smaller engineered nucleotide sequences that encoded or may be adapted to encode, peptides, polypeptides, or proteins.
(90) As used herein hairpin RNA (hpRNA) refers to any self-annealing double-stranded RNA molecule. In its simplest representation, a hairpin RNA consists of a double stranded stem made up by the annealing RNA strands, connected by a single stranded RNA loop, and is also referred to as a, pan-handle RNA. However, the term hairpin RNA is also intended to encompass more complicated secondary RNA structures comprising self-annealing double stranded RNA sequences, but also internal bulges and loops. The specific secondary structure adapted will be determined by the free energy of the RNA molecule, and can be predicted for different situations using appropriate software such as FOLDRNA (Zuker and Stiegler (1981) Nucleic Acids Res 9(1):133-48; Zuker, M. (1989) Methods En-zymol. 180:262-288).
(91) In still other embodiments of the invention, inhibition of the expression of one or more plant pathogen gene products by RNAi may be obtained by hairpin RNA (hpRNA) interference or intron-containing hairpin RNA (ihpRNA) interference. For hpRNA interference, the expression cassette is designed to express an RNA molecule that hybridizes with itself to form a hairpin structure that comprises a single-stranded loop region and a base-paired stem. The base-paired stem region comprises a sense sequence corresponding to all or part of the endogenous messenger RNA encoding the gene product whose expression is to be inhibited, in this case, a cytochrome P450 polypeptide described herein, and an antisense sequence that is fully or partially complementary to the sense sequence. Alternatively, the base-paired stem region may correspond to a portion of a promoter sequence controlling expression of the gene encoding the target polypeptide to be inhibited. Thus, the base-paired stem region of the molecule generally determines the specificity of the RNA interference. hpRNA molecules are highly efficient at inhibiting the expression of endogenous genes, and the RNA interference they induce is inherited by subsequent generations of plants. See, for example, Chuang and Meyerowitz (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97:4985-4990; Stoutjesdijk et al. (2002) Plant Physiol. 129:1723-1731; and Waterhouse and Helliwell (2003) Nat. Rev. Genet. 4:29-38. Methods for using hpRNA interference to inhibit or silence the expression of genes are described, for example, in Chuang and Meyerowitz (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97:4985-4990; Stoutjesdijk et al. (2002) PlantPhysiol. 129:1723-1731; Waterhouse and Helliwell (2003) Nat. Rev. Genet. 4:29-38; Pandolfini et al. BMC Biotechnology 3:7, and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20030175965; each of which is herein incorporated by reference. A transient assay for the efficiency of hpRNA constructs to silence gene expression in vivo has been described by Panstruga et al. (2003) Mol. Biol. Rep. 30:135-140, herein incorporated by reference.
(92) For ihpRNA, the interfering molecules have the same general structure as for hpRNA, but the RNA molecule additionally comprises an intron that is capable of being spliced in the cell in which the ihpRNA is expressed. The use of an intron minimizes the size of the loop in the hairpin RNA molecule following splicing, and this increases the efficiency of interference. See, for example, Smith et al. (2000) Nature 407:319-320. In fact, Smith et al. show 100% suppression of endogenous gene expression using ihpRNA-mediated interference. Methods for using ihpRNA interference to inhibit the expression of endogenous plant genes are described, for example, in Smith et al. (2000) Nature 407:319-320; Wesley et al. (2001) Plant J 27:581-590; Wang and Waterhouse (2001) Curr. Opin. Plant Biol. 5:146-150; Waterhouse and Helliwell (2003) Nat. Rev. Genet. 4:29-38; Helliwell and Waterhouse (2003) Methods 30:289-295, and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20030180945, each of which is herein incorporated by reference.
(93) As used herein, on oligonucleotide is a short nucleic acid polymer. Oligonucleotides may be formed by cleavage of longer nucleic acid segments, or by polymerizing individual nucleotide precursors. Automated synthesizers allow the synthesis of oligonucleotides up to several hundred base pairs in length. Because oligonucleotides may bind to a complementary nucleotide sequence, they may be used as probes for detecting DNA or RNA. Oligonucleotides composed of DNA (oligodeoxyribonucleotides) may be used in PCR, a technique for the amplification of DNA and RNA (reverse transcribed into a cDNA) sequences. In PCR, the oligonucleotide is typically referred to as a primer, which allows a DNA polymerase to extend the oligonucleotide and replicate the complementary strand.
(94) The term gene or sequence refers to a coding region operably joined to appropriate regulatory sequences capable of regulating the expression of the gene product (e.g., a polypeptide or a functional RNA) in some manner. A gene includes untranslated regulatory regions of DNA (e.g., promoters, enhancers, repressors, etc.) preceding (up-stream) and following (down-stream) the coding region (open reading frame, ORF) as well as, where applicable, intervening sequences (i.e., introns) between individual coding regions (i.e., exons). The term structural gene as used herein is intended to mean a DNA sequence that is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into a sequence of amino acids characteristic of a specific polypeptide.
(95) A nucleic acid molecule may include either or both naturally occurring and modified nucleotides linked together by naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring nucleotide linkages. Nucleic acid molecules may be modified chemically or biochemically, or may contain non-natural or derivatized nucleotide bases, as will be readily appreciated by those of skill in the art. Such modifications include, for example, labels, methylation, substitution of one or more of the naturally occurring nucleotides with an analog, internucleotide modifications (e.g., uncharged linkages: for example, methyl phosphonates, phosphotriesters, phosphoramidates, carbamates, etc.; charged linkages: for example, phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, etc.; pendent moieties: for example, peptides; intercalators: for example, acridine, psoralen, etc.; chelators; alkylators; and modified linkages: for example, alpha anomeric nucleic acids, etc.). The term nucleic acid molecule also includes any topological conformation, including single-stranded, double-stranded, partially duplexed, triplexed, hair-pinned, circular, and padlocked conformations.
(96) As used herein with respect to DNA, the term coding sequence, structural nucleotide sequence, or structural nucleic acid molecule refers to a nucleotide sequence that is ultimately translated into a polypeptide, via transcription and mRNA, when placed under the control of appropriate regulatory sequences. With respect to RNA, the term coding sequence refers to a nucleotide sequence that is translated into a peptide, polypeptide, or protein. The boundaries of a coding sequence are determined by a translation start codon at the 5-terminus and a translation stop codon at the 3-terminus. Coding sequences include, but are not limited to: genomic DNA; cDNA; EST; and recombinant nucleotide sequences.
(97) As used herein, the term genome refers to chromosomal DNA found within the nucleus of a cell, and also refers to organelle DNA found within subcellular components of the cell. The term genome as it applies to bacteria refers to both the chromosome and plasmids within the bacterial cell. In some embodiments of the invention, a DNA molecule may be introduced into a bacterium such that the DNA molecule is integrated into the genome of the bacterium. In these and further embodiments, the DNA molecule may be either chromosomally-integrated or located as or in a stable plasmid.
(98) The term sequence identity or identity, as used herein in the context of two nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, refers to the residues in the two sequences that are the same when aligned for maximum correspondence over a specified comparison window.
(99) As used herein, the term percentage of sequence identity may refer to the value determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences (e.g., nucleic acid sequences) over a comparison window, wherein the portion of the sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleotide or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window, and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity. A sequence that is identical at every position in comparison to a reference sequence is said to be 100% identical to the reference sequence, and vice-versa.
(100) Methods for aligning sequences for comparison are well-known in the art. Various programs and alignment algorithms are described in, for example: Smith and Waterman (1981) Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482; Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443; Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:2444; Higgins and Sharp (1988) Gene 73:237-44; Higgins and Sharp (1989) CABIOS 5:151-3; Corpet et al. (1988) Nucleic Acids Res. 16:10881-90; Huang et al. (1992) Comp. Appl. Biosci. 8:155-65; Pearson et al. (1994) Methods Mol. Biol. 24:307-31; Tatiana et al. (1999) FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 174:247-50. A detailed consideration of sequence alignment methods and homology calculations can be found in, e.g., Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST; Altschul et al. (1990)) is available from several sources, including the National Center for Biotechnology Information (Bethesda, Md.), and on the internet, for use in connection with several sequence analysis programs. A description of how to determine sequence identity using this program is available on the internet under the help section for BLAST. For comparisons of nucleic acid sequences, the Blast 2 sequences function of the BLAST (Blastn) program may be employed using the default BLOSUM62 matrix set to default parameters. Nucleic acid sequences with even greater similarity to the reference sequences will show increasing percentage identity when assessed by this method.
(101) As used herein, the terms hybridizable and complementary are terms that indicate a sufficient degree of complementarity such that stable and specific binding occurs between the nucleic acid molecule and a target nucleic acid molecule. Hybridization between two nucleic acid molecules involves the formation of an anti-parallel alignment between the nucleic acid sequences of the two nucleic acid molecules. The two molecules are then able to form hydrogen bonds with corresponding bases on the opposite strand to form a duplex molecule that, if it is sufficiently stable, is detectable using methods well known in the art. A nucleic acid molecule need not be 100% complementary to its target sequence to be specifically hybridizable. However, the amount of sequence complementarity that must exist for hybridization to be specific is a function of the hybridization conditions used, and may be between 50%-10.sup.0%.
(102) As used herein, the term homologous with regard to a contiguous nucleic acid sequence, refers to contiguous nucleotide sequences that hybridize under appropriate conditions to the reference nucleic acid sequence. For example, homologous sequences may have from about 70%-100, or more generally 80% to 100% sequence identity, such as about 81%; about 82%; about 83%; about 84%; about 85%; about 86%; about 87%; about 88%; about 89%; about 90%; about 91%; about 92%; about 93%; about 94% about 95%; about 96%; about 97%; about 98%; about 98.5%; about 99%; about 99.5%; and about 100%. The property of substantial homology is closely related to specific hybridization. For example, a nucleic acid molecule is specifically hybridizable when there is a sufficient degree of complementarity to avoid non-specific binding of the nucleic acid to non-target sequences under conditions where specific binding is desired, for example, under stringent hybridization conditions.
(103) The term, operably linked, when used in reference to a regulatory sequence and a coding sequence, means that the regulatory sequence affects the expression of the linked coding sequence. Regulatory sequences, or control elements, refer to nucleotide sequences that influence the timing and level/amount of transcription, RNA processing or stability, or translation of the associated coding sequence. Regulatory sequences may include promoters; translation leader sequences; introns; enhancers; stem-loop structures; repressor binding sequences; termination sequences; polyadenylation recognition sequences; etc. Particular regulatory sequences may be located upstream and/or downstream of a coding sequence operably linked thereto. Also, particular regulatory sequences operably linked to a coding sequence may be located on the associated complementary strand of a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule.
(104) As used herein, the term promoter refers to a region of DNA that may be upstream from the start of transcription, and that may be involved in recognition and binding of RNA polymerase and other proteins to initiate transcription. A promoter may be operably linked to a coding sequence for expression in a cell, or a promoter may be operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a signal sequence which may be operably linked to a coding sequence for expression in a cell. A plant promoter may be a promoter capable of initiating transcription in plant cells. Examples of promoters under developmental control include promoters that preferentially initiate transcription in certain tissues, such as leaves, roots, seeds, fibers, xylem vessels, tracheids, or sclerenchyma. Such promoters are referred to as tissue-preferred. Promoters which initiate transcription only in certain tissues are referred to as tissue-specific. A cell type-specific promoter primarily drives expression in certain cell types in one or more organs, for example, vascular cells in roots or leaves. An inducible promoter may be a promoter which may be under environmental control. Examples of environmental conditions that may initiate transcription by inducible promoters include anaerobic conditions and the presence of light. Tissue-specific, tissue-preferred, cell type specific, and inducible promoters constitute the class of non-constitutive promoters. A constitutive promoter is a promoter which may be active under most environmental conditions or in most cell or tissue types.
(105) Any inducible promoter can be used in some embodiments of the invention. See Ward et al. (1993) Plant Mol. Biol. 22:361-366. With an inducible promoter, the rate of transcription increases in response to an inducing agent. Exemplary inducible promoters include, but are not limited to: Promoters from the ACEI system that responds to copper; In2 gene from maize that responds to benzenesulfonamide herbicide safeners; Tet repressor from Tn10; and the inducible promoter from a steroid hormone gene, the transcriptional activity of which may be induced by a glucocorticosteroid hormone are general examples (Schena et al. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:0421).
(106) As used herein, the term transformation or genetically modified refers to the transfer of one or more nucleic acid molecule(s) into a cell. A microorganism is transformed or genetically modified by a nucleic acid molecule transduced into the bacteria when the nucleic acid molecule becomes stably replicated by the bacteria. As used herein, the term transformation or genetically modified encompasses all techniques by which a nucleic acid molecule can be introduced into, such as a bacteria.
(107) The term vector refers to some means by which DNA, RNA, a protein, or polypeptide can be introduced into a host. The polynucleotides, protein, and polypeptide which are to be introduced into a host can be therapeutic or prophylactic in nature; can encode or be an antigen; can be regulatory in nature, etc. There are various types of vectors including virus, plasmid, bacteriophages, cosmids, and bacteria.
(108) An expression vector is nucleic acid capable of replicating in a selected host cell or organism. An expression vector can replicate as an autonomous structure, or alternatively can integrate, in whole or in part, into the host cell chromosomes or the nucleic acids of an organelle, or it is used as a shuttle for delivering foreign DNA to cells, and thus replicate along with the host cell genome. Thus, an expression vector are polynucleotides capable of replicating in a selected host cell, organelle, or organism, e.g., a plasmid, virus, artificial chromosome, nucleic acid fragment, and for which certain genes on the expression vector (including genes of interest) are transcribed and translated into a polypeptide or protein within the cell, organelle or organism; or any suitable construct known in the art, which comprises an expression cassette. In contrast, as described in the examples herein, a cassette is a polynucleotide containing a section of an expression vector of this invention. The use of the cassettes assists in the assembly of the expression vectors. An expression vector is a replicon, such as plasmid, phage, virus, chimeric virus, or cosmid, and which contains the desired polynucleotide sequence operably linked to the expression control sequence(s).
(109) A polynucleotide sequence is operably linked to an expression control sequence(s) (e.g., a promoter and, optionally, an enhancer) when the expression control sequence controls and regulates the transcription and/or translation of that polynucleotide sequence.
(110) Unless otherwise indicated, a particular nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions), the complementary (or complement) sequence, and the reverse complement sequence, as well as the sequence explicitly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions may be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and/or deoxyinosine residues (see e.g., Batzer et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); and Rossolini et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)). Because of the degeneracy of nucleic acid codons, one can use various different polynucleotides to encode identical polypeptides. Table 1a, infra, contains information about which nucleic acid codons encode which amino acids.
(111) TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 1a Amino acid Nucleic acid codons Amino Acid Nucleic Acid Codons Ala/A GCT, GCC, GCA, GCG Arg/R CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, AGG Asn/N AAT, AAC Asp/D GAT, GAC Cys/C TGT, TGC Gln/Q CAA, CAG Glu/E GAA, GAG Gly/G GGT, GGC, GGA, GGG His/H CAT, CAC Ile/I ATT, ATC, ATA Leu/L TTA, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG Lys/K AAA, AAG Met/M ATG Phe/F TTT, TTC Pro/P CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG Ser/S TCT, TCC, TCA, TCG, AGT, AGC Thr/T ACT, ACC, ACA, ACG Trp/W TGG Tyr/Y TAT, TAC Val/V GTT, GTC, GTA, GTG
(112) Oligonucleotides and polynucleotides that are not commercially available can be chemically synthesized e.g., according to the solid phase phosphoramidite triester method first described by Beaucage and Caruthers, Tetrahedron Letts. 22:1859-1862 (1981), or using an automated synthesizer, as described in Van Devanter et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 12:6159-6168 (1984). Other methods for synthesizing oligonucleotides and polynucleotides are known in the art. Purification of oligonucleotides is by either native acrylamide gel electrophoresis or by anion-exchange HPLC as described in Pearson & Reanier, J. Chrom. 255:137-149 (1983).
(113) The term recombinant when used with reference, e.g., to a cell, or nucleic acid, protein, or vector, indicates that the cell, organism, nucleic acid, protein or vector, has been modified by the introduction of a heterologous nucleic acid or protein, or the alteration of a native nucleic acid or protein, or that the cell is derived from a cell so modified. Thus, for example, recombinant cells may express genes that are not found within the native (nonrecombinant or wild-type) form of the cell or express native genes that are otherwise abnormally expressedover-expressed, under expressed or not expressed at all.
(114) The terms approximately and about refer to a quantity, level, value or amount that varies by as much as 30%, or in another embodiment by as much as 20%, and in a third embodiment by as much as 10% to a reference quantity, level, value or amount. As used herein, the singular form a, an, and the include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, the term a bacterium includes both a single bacterium and a plurality of bacteria.
(115) As used here suppression or silencing or inhibition are used interchangeably to denote the down-regulation of the expression of the product of a target sequence relative to its normal expression level in a wild type organism. Suppression includes expression that is decreased by about 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% relative to the wild type expression level. An effective amount is an amount of inhibitory RNA sufficient to result in suppression or inhibition of a plant pathogen.
(116) As used herein, heterologous in reference to a nucleic acid is a nucleic acid that originates from a foreign species, or is synthetically designed, or, if from the same species, is substantially modified from its native form in composition and/or genomic locus by deliberate human intervention. A heterologous protein may originate from a foreign species or, if from the same species, is substantially modified from its original form by deliberate human intervention. By host cell is meant a cell which contains an introduced nucleic acid construct and supports the replication and/or expression of the construct. Host cells may be prokaryotic cells such as E. coli, or eukaryotic cells such as fungi, yeast, insect, amphibian, nematode, or mammalian cells. Alternatively, the host cells are monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous plant cells. An example of a monocotyledonous host cell is a maize host cell.
(117) Polynucleotide sequences may have substantial identity, substantial homology, or substantial complementarity to the selected region of the target gene. As used herein substantial identity and substantial homology indicate sequences that have sequence identity or homology to each other. Generally, sequences that are substantially identical or substantially homologous will have about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity wherein the percent sequence identity is based on the entire sequence and is determined by GAP alignment using existing default parameters (GCG, GAP version 10, Accelrys, San Diego, CA). GAP uses the algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J MoI Biol 48:443-453) to find the alignment of two complete sequences that maximizes the number of matches and minimizes the number of sequence gaps. Sequences which have 100% identity are identical. Substantial complementarity refers to sequences that are complementary to each other, and are able to base pair with each other. In describing complementary sequences, if all the nucleotides in the first sequence will base pair to the second sequence, these sequences are fully complementary.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Demonstrates Construction of Bacterial Plasmids Encoding Hairpin (hp) RNA Constructs Encoding a Foldback RNA Targeting a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)
(118) As demonstrated by the present inventors, hpRNAs encoding plasmid vectors were constructed using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Cloning Kit from New England BioLabs Inc. Here, seven hpRNA vectors were constructed to target the green fluorescent protein (GFP) encoding mRNA expressed from pJL-TRBO-G (Lindbo 2007) as an exemplary embodiment.
(119) The maps for these plasmids are shown in the following figures 1=7: pAD-WRKY-GHY1 (
(120) Among the above seven hpRNAs, five shuttle vectors pAD-WRKY-GHY1, pAD-ADH-GHY2, pAD-WRKY-GHY5, pAD-ADH-GHY6, and pAD-WRKY-GHY7 were constructed by the present inventors by ligating the GFP sense fragment, an intervening intron, and the GFP antisense fragment into the backbone plasmid pAD43-25 (Dunn and Handelsman 1999) digested with XbaI+NsiI. Two vectors pOXB-WRKY-GHY3 and pOXB-ADH-GHY4 were constructed using the backbone plasmid of pSF-OXB19 (Oxford Genetics Biology Engineered) digested with XbaI.
(121) Exemplary primers used to construct the hpRNA insert in the plasmids and for DNA sequencing are shown in Table 1 below. All the maps of hpRNAs were made using SnapGene software.

(122) One intron was from the Arabidopsis thaliana putative WRKY-type DNA-binding protein, 287 bp in length, and cloning from plasmid pJawohl3-RNAi (Accession no. AF404854) (Table 9: SEQ ID NO. 26).
(123) Another intron was generated by the current inventors from Zea mays alcohol dehydrogenase intron Adh1, 566 bp in length, and cloning from plasmid pMCG161 (Accession no. AY572837). (Table 9: SEQ ID NO. 27-29)

(124) In this embodiment, exemplary hpRNAs were constructed comprising SEQ ID NO. 30-36 presented in Table 10 below.
Example 4: Demonstrates Construction of RNaseIII Mutant Bacterial Strain for the Stable Expression of dsRNA Constructs
(125) In this embodiment, the present inventors used exemplary E. coli strain JM109(DE3) to construct an RNaseIII mutant (Genotype: endA1, recA1, gyrA96, thi, hsdR17 (r.sub.k.sup., m.sub.k.sup.+), relA1, supE44, -, (lac-proAB), [F, traD36, proAB, lacI.sup.qZM15], 1DE3. Promega, USA). Two E. coli RNaseIII mutants were made by using Red-mediated homologous recombination system expressed from plasmid pSIJ8 (Jensen et al. 2015).
(126) The design of RNaseIII mutant was performed using the DNA sequence for the mc gene of Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_000913.3). The primers RNaseIII50-5 and RNaseIII50-3 were used for amplifying the kanamycin resistance gene with 50-bp homologous sequences with the mc genes. The targeting PCR fragments with Kan.sup.R were amplified by using Q5 High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase. The plasmid pKD4 was used as template (Yin et al. 2009). The targeting PCR fragments with KanR were ligated to Pmini T2.0 vector to obtain Pmini4T plasmid and then Pmini-4T was used as template to amplify the targeting fragments by using phosphorothioated primers Ec_phos_50-5 and Ec_phos_50-3. The mutants were generated according to Jensen et al (Jensen et al. 2015). The mutant containing Kanamycin resistance marker was labelled as M-JM109-GHY1. The mutant eliminating Kanamycin resistance was labelled as M-JM109-GHY2 and may be used to deliver hpRNA to plants. Primers were listed in Table 2. PCR amplification analysis to verify the mutants is demonstrated in

All the PCR products were sent for sequencing and all the sequencing results were confirmed and reproduced below in Table 11. (SEQ ID NO. 37-39)
Example 6: Demonstrates the Use of a Genetically Modified E. coli RNaseIII Mutants Containing Plasmids Encoding hpRNA Molecules to Infiltrate Plant Leaves, Express and Deliver dsRNA or hpRNAs to the Plant to be Processed into siRNAs to Inactivate TMV Encoded GFP as an Exemplary Embodiment of Bacterial dsRNA-Mediated Silencing of a Viral Encoded Gene
(130) Here the present inventors used two E. coli RNase III mutants (one Bacillus subtilis CCB422 RNaseIII mutant) containing the indicated plasmids to infiltrate leaves, express and deliver dsRNA or hpRNAs to the plants to be processed into siRNAs to inactivate Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) encoded GFP, thereby demonstrating bacterial dsRNA-mediated silencing of a viral encoded gene.
(131) The present inventors conducted tobacco infiltration assays with bacteria containing plasmids encoding hpRNA targeting the suppression of the GFP gene were performed according to Lindbo (Lindbo 2007). Symptoms were observed and GFP signal was detected under UV illumination after 5, 7, or 9 days post-infiltration (dpi). Two tobacco species: Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana benthamiana were used in this embodiment. For example, as an exemplary embodiment, in
(132) The present inventors further demonstrated TMV encoded GFP was expressed from vector pJL-TRBO-G (Lindbo 2007). The vector was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens (At) and co-infiltrated with bacterial RNaseIII mutants containing different hpRNAs. The bacterial concentration was measured using a spectrometer and all the bacterial concentrations were adjusted to OD.sub.600 between 0.99501.0050. The present inventors further demonstrate that the hpRNA inhibited the TMV-GFP signal, and confirmed by co-infiltration of the bacterial containing hpRNA with Agrobacterium GV3101 containing vector pJL-TRBO-G. The RNaseIII mutants and hpRNA used are listed in Table 3.

(156) In this exemplary embodiment, B. cereus 53522 was obtained from ATCC and primers used for identification were listed in Table 4. The correct PCR fragments were ligated to the vector of PminiT 2.0 vector and then digested with XhoI to inspect the correct sizes and then identify the correct clones by DNA sequence analysis to confirm the identity of the B. cereus strain (

Example 15: Reduction in Viral Encoded GFP Protein Accumulation/Infection Severity Mediated by Hairpin RNA Endophyte Delivery
(158) As noted above, targeting of TMV-GFP RNA transcript by the host's RNAi machinery is expected to result in viral RNA degradation and hence failure to translate viral mRNAs into proteins. Boosting of the host's RNAi defenses, by trans-kingdom delivery of a hairpin RNA homologous to the viral encoded GFP, is therefore predicted to result in loss or decrease in viral encoded GFP accumulation by triggering siRNA biogenesis in the N. tabacum host, ultimately conferring resistance to viral infection.
(159) To evaluate this hypothesis, 20.4 mm leaf discs were collected from infiltrated areas (5 dpi) of N. tabacum plants infected with TMV-GFP, or co-infiltrated with TMV-GFP and bacterial strains carrying the pAD-WRKY-GHY5 constructencoding the viral GFP homologous hairpin RNA, as well as experimental controls (see

Example 16: QPCR to Monitor the TMV-GFP mRNA Suppression by HT27/pAD-WRKY-GHY5
(161) L25 ribosomal protein gene mRNA levels were used as the N. tabacum reference gene, and primers targeting amplification of TMV-GFP RNA were used in a quantitative PCR experiment (qPCR) for analysis of relative RNA levels in different biological treatments infected with TMV-GFP, TMV-GFP plus bacteria alone, and TMV plus bacteria expressing hpRNA-GFP. Total RNA was extracted from different treated tobacco leaves by using mirVana miRNA Isolation kit. The cDNA was synthesized using the EcoDry Premix kit. QRT-PCR was performed using iTaq Universal SYBR Green Supermix. The results are generally shown in
(162) The present inventors demonstrated a reduction in TMV-GFP due to the presence of the bacteria (43%). The present inventors demonstrated bacteria expressing hpDNA-GFP had nearly a 90% reduction in GFP RNA levels consistent with enhanced siRNA-mediated interference in TMV-GFP RNA levels.
