CA 2483337

Method of producing one or more polypeptides in a plant chloroplast, including methods of producing polypeptides that specifically associate in a plant chloroplast to generate a functional protein complex, are provided. An isolated polynucleotide that includes (or encodes) a first ribosome binding sequence (RBS) operatively linked to a second RBS, such that the first RBS directs translation of a polypeptide in a prokaryote and the second RBS directs translation of the polypeptide in a chloroplast, also is provided, as is a vector containing such a polynucleotide, particularly a chloroplast vector and a chloroplast/prokaryote shuttle vector. Also provided is a synthetic polynucleotide, which is chloroplast codon biased. A plant cell that is genetically modified to contain a polynucleotide or vector as described above, as well as transgenic plants containing or derived from such a genetically modified cell, are provided. Polypeptides encoded by a synthetic polynucleotide as described also are provided.

L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de produire un ou plusieurs polypeptide dans un chloroplaste afin de générer un complexe protéique fonctionnel. L'invention concerne un polynucléotide isolé comprenant (ou codant pour) une première séquence d'attachement des ribosomes (RBS) reliée de manière fonctionnelle à une séquence d'attachement des ribosomes, de telle sorte que la première séquence d'attachement des ribosomes dirige la translation d'un polypeptide dans un procaryote et que la seconde séquence d'attachement des ribosomes dirige la translation du polypeptide dans un chloroplaste. L'invention concerne également un vecteur contenant un tel polynucléotide, plus particulièrement, un vecteur chloroplastique et un vecteur navette chloroplastique/procaryotique. En outre, cette invention concerne un polynucléotide de synthèse qui est orienté vers le codon chloroplastique. L'invention concerne également une cellule végétale génétiquement modifiée de manière à contenir un tel polynucléotide ou tel un vecteur; ainsi que des plantes transgéniques contenant une telle cellule génétiquement modifiée ou provenant d'une telle cellule. L'invention concerne également des polypeptides codés par un polynucléotide de synthèse, tel que le polynucléotide de synthèse susmentionné.
