Loline Alkaloid Gene Clusters Of The Fungal Endophyte Neotyphodium Uncinatum

View page
US Patent:
7183098, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Jun 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/601700
Inventors:
Christopher L. Schardl - Lexington KY, US
Heather H. Wilkinson - College Station TX, US
Martin J. Spiering - Lexington KY, US
Assignee:
University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
C12P 17/14
C07H 21/04
A63B 69/36
US Classification:
4352523, 435120, 4353201, 43525233, 4352528, 43525411, 536 232
Abstract:
Loline alkaloids (LA), which are 1-aminopyrrolizidines with an oxygen bridge, are produced by (anamorph=) species, endophytes of grasses. LA are insecticidal, thus helping protect host plants from insect herbivory. Suppression subtractive hybridization PCR was used to isolate transcripts up-regulated during loline alkaloid production in cultures of. Subtracted cDNAs were cloned, and a λ-phage cDNA library from an LA-expressing culture was screened with subtracted cDNA. In BLAST searches, several cDNAs identified had sequence similarities to aspartate kinases, and another with O-acetylhomoserine-(thiol)lyase. Differential expression of these two genes in LA-producing cultures of was confirmed, and in a survey of 23 isolates from 21 and species these two genes strictly correlated with LA production. Two nucleic acid molecules encoding two loline alkaloid gene clusters have been identified.

US Patent:
6335188, Jan 1, 2002
Filed:
Mar 3, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/518657
Inventors:
Christopher L. Schardl - Lexington KY
Jinghung Wang - Lexington KY
Assignee:
University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
C12P 2106
US Classification:
435193, 435 691, 435183, 4352523, 4352541, 43525411, 4353201, 435410, 435419, 536 232, 536 236, 536 237, 536 2374
Abstract:
The present invention provides, inter alia, dmaW nucleic acid sequences and the proteins for which they encode. Also provided are methods for the utilization of knockout mutants of the sequences which are useful for engineering ergot alkaloid-deficient fungal symbionts (endophytes) of plants. Other methods and materials related to these sequences are also provided.
