Provided are a novel promoter and a method of producing a target product using the same.

Synthesis of a target transcript of a gene is selectively increased in a mammalian cell by contacting the cell with a polynucleotide oligomer of 12-28 bases complementary to a region within a target promoter of the gene under conditions whereby the oligomer selectively increases synthesis of the target transcript.

Compositions and methods for protecting a plant from a pathogen, particularly a fungal pathogen, are provided. Compositions include novel amino acid sequences, and variants and fragments thereof, for antipathogenic polypeptides that were isolated from microbial fermentation broths. Nucleic acid molecules comprising nucleotide sequences that encode the antipathogenic polypeptides of the invention are also provided. A method for inducing pathogen resistance in a plant using the nucleotide sequences disclosed herein is further provided. The method comprises introducing into a plant an expression cassette comprising a promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antipathogenic polypeptide of the invention. Compositions comprising an antipathogenic polypeptide or a transformed microorganism comprising a nucleic acid of the invention in combination with a carrier and methods of using these compositions to protect a plant from a pathogen are further provided. Transformed plants, plant cells, seeds, and microorganisms comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antipathogenic polypeptide of the invention, or variant or fragment thereof, are also disclosed.

The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, relates to an efficient and safe transposable element integration system and application thereof and further relates to a nucleic acid construction body and application thereof. The nucleic acid construction body concretely and sequentially comprises the following elements of a transposable element 5' terminal repetition sequence, a polyclone insertion site, a poly A tailing signal sequence, a transposable element 3' terminal repetition sequence, a transposase coding sequence and a promoter controlling the expression of transposase. The polyclone insertion site is used for inserting an exogenous gene coding sequence and a selective promoter for controlling the expression of exogenous genes in an operability mode. The poly A tailing signal sequence has a poly A tailing signal function in the forward and reverse directions, and the direction of an expression cassette of transposase is reverse to that of an exogenous gene expression cassette. The nucleic acid construction body can be used for efficiently and safely expressing mediated exogenous genes in host cells.

The invention provides systems, methods, reagents, apparatuses, vectors, and host cells for the continuous evolution of nucleic acids. For example, a lagoon is provided in which a population of viral vectors comprising a gene of interest replicates in a stream of host cells, wherein the viral vectors lack a gene encoding a protein required for the generation of infectious viral particles, and wherein that gene is expressed in the host cells under the control of a conditional promoter, the activity of which depends on a function of the gene of interest to be evolved. Some aspects of this invention provide evolved products obtained from continuous evolution procedures described herein. Kits containing materials for continuous evolution are also provided.
