Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides isolated and purified polynucleotides that encode plant and cyanobacterial polypeptides that participate in the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA. Isolated cyanobacterial and plant polypeptides that catalyze acetyl-CoA carboxylation are also provided. Processes for altering acetyl-CoA carboxylation, increasing herbicide resistance of plants and identifying herbicide resistant variants of acetyl-CoA carboxylase are also provided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 65 words
An isolated and purified polynucleotide of from about 1350 to about 4000 base pairs that encodes a polypeptide that is a subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, that possesses the ability to catalyze the carboxylation of a biotin carboxyl carrier protein of a cyanobacterium and hybridizes under low stringency conditions to a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:5.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 65 words
An isolated and purified polynucleotide of from about 1350 to about 4000 base pairs that encodes a polypeptide that is a subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, that possesses the ability to catalyze the carboxylation of a biotin carboxyl carrier protein of a cyanobacterium and hybridizes under low stringency conditions to a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:5.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 13 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 1 wherein said cyanobacterium is Anabaena or Synechococcus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 2 wherein said biotin carboxyl carrier protein includes the amino acid residue sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:111.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 1 wherein said polypeptide has the amino acid residue sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 or SEQ ID NO:6.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 43 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 1 that includes (a) the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 from about nucleotide position 1300 to about nucleotide position 2650; (b) the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; or (c) the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:5.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 50 words
An isolated and purified polynucleotide of from about 1500 to about 10,000 base pairs that encodes a polypeptide of a monocotyledonous or a dicotyledonous plant which hybridizes under low stringency conditions to the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO:108, wherein the polypeptide has the ability to catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 50 words
An isolated and purified polynucleotide of from about 1500 to about 10,000 base pairs that encodes a polypeptide of a monocotyledonous or a dicotyledonous plant which hybridizes under low stringency conditions to the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO:108, wherein the polypeptide has the ability to catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 20 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 6 wherein said monocotyledonous plant is wheat, rice, maize, barley, rye, oats or timothy grass.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 29 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 6 wherein said dicotyledonous plant is soybean, rape, sunflower, tobacco, Arabidopsis, petunia, canola, pea, bean, tomato, potato, lettuce, spinach, carrot, canola, alfalfa, or cotton.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 19 words
The polynucleotide according to claim 6 wherein said polypeptide includes the amino acid residue sequence of SEQ ID NO:109.
