Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compositions and methods relating to the use of sulfonylurea-responsive repressors are provided. Compositions include polypeptides that specifically bind to an operator, wherein the specific binding is regulated by a sulfonylurea compound. Compositions also include polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides as well as constructs, vectors, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and eukaryotic organisms including plants and seeds comprising the polynucleotide, and/or produced by the methods. Also provided are methods to provide a sulfonylurea-responsive repressor to a cell or organism, and to regulate expression of a polynucleotide of interest in a cell or organism, including a plant or plant cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A recombinant DNA construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding a recombinant polypeptide comprising a sulfonylurea-responsive repressor that specifically binds to a polynucleotide comprising an operator sequence, wherein the binding is regulated by a sulfonylurea compound wherein the recombinant polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity when compared to the full-length sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1233.
