BACKGROUND OF THR INVENTION Fiel of the Invention The present invention relates to ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion gene constructs with enhanced stability and gene expression, ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion protein products, and methods of making and using the same. ngsn-int-ion of Related Ar . Naturally occurring lytic peptides play an important if not critical role as iπraunological agents in insects and have some, albeit secondary, defense functions in a range of other animals. The function of these peptides is to destroy prokaryotic and other non-host cells by disrupting the cell membrane and promoting cell lysis. Coπmon features of these naturally occurring lytic peptides include an overall basic charge, a small size (23-39 amino acid residues) , and the ability to foπn amphipathic α- helices or β-pleated sheets. Several types of lytic peptides have been identified: cecropins (described in U.S. Patents 4,355,104 and 4,520,016 to Hultmark et al.), defensins, sarcotoxins, melittin, and magainins (described in U.S. Patent No. 4,810,777 to Zasloff) . Each of these peptide types is distinguished by sequence and secondary structure characteristics. Several hypotheses have been suggested for the mechanism of action of the lytic peptides: disruption of the membrane lipid bilayer by the amphipathic α-helix portion of the lytic- peptide; lytic peptide formation of ion channels, which results in osmotically induced cytolysis; lytic peptide promotion of protein aggregation, which results in ion channel formation; and lytic peptide-induced release of phospholipids. Whatever the mechanism of lytic peptide-induced membrane damage, an ordered secondary conformation such as an amphipathic α-helix and positive charge density are features that appear to participate in the function of the lytic peptides. Active synthetic analogs of naturally occurring lytic peptides have been produced and tested in vitro against a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell types (see for example Arrowood, M.J., et al., J. Protozool. 38: 161s [1991]; Jaynes, J.M., et al., FASEB J. 2: 2878 [1988]), including: gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi, yeast, protozoa, envelope viruses, virus-infected eukaryotic cells, and neoplastic or transformed maππialian cells. The results from these studies indicate that many of the synthetic lytic peptide analogs have similar or higher levels of lytic activity for many different types of cells, compared to the naturally occurring forms. In addi ion, the. peptide concentration required to lyse microbial pathogens such as protozoans, yeast, and bacteria does not lyse normal mammalian cells. However, because previous work demonstrates that absolute sequence is not important as long as positive charge and aπphipathy are preserved, the level of activity for a given synthetic peptide is difficult to predict. The specificity of the lytic action also depends upon the concentration of the peptide and the type of membrane with which it interacts. Jaynes, J.M. et ai., Peptide Research 2: 157 (1989) discuss the altered cytoskeletal characteristics of transformed or neoplastic mammalian cells that make them susceptible to lysis by the peptides. In these experiments, normal, human non-transformed cells remained unaffected at a given peptide concentration while transformed cells were lysed; however, when normal cells were treated with the cytoskeletal inhibitors cytochalasin D or colchicine, sensitivity to lysis increased. The experiments show that the action of lytic peptides on normal mammalian cells is limited. This resistance to lysis was most probably due to the well-developed cytoskeletal network of normal cells. In contrast, transformed cell lines which have well-known cytoskeletal deficiencies were sensitive to lysis. Because of differences in cellular sensitivity to lysis, lytic peptide concentration can be manipulated to effect lysis of one cell type but not another at the same locus. Synthetic lytic peptide analogs can also act as agents of eukaryotic cell proliferation. Peptides that promote lysis of transformed cells will, at lower concentrations, promote cell proliferation in some cell types. This stimulatory activity is thought to depend on the channel-forming capability of the peptides, which somehow stimulates nutrient uptake, calcium influx or metabolite release, thereby stimulating cell proliferation (see Jaynes, J.M., Drug News & Perspectives 3: 69 [1990],- and Reed, W.A. et al., Molecular Reproduction and Development 31: 106 [1992]). Thus, at a given concentration, these peptides stimulate or create channels that can be beneficial to the normal mamnalian cell in a benign environment where it is not important to exclude toxic compounds. The synthetic lytic peptide analogs typically contain as few as 12 and as many as 40 amino acid residues. A phenylalanine residue is often positioned at the amino terminus of the protein to provide an aromatic moiety analogous to the tryptophan residue located near the amino terminus of natural cecropins and a UV- absorbing moiety with which to monitor the purification of the synthetic peptide. The basis for the design of these lytic peptide analogs is that a peptide of minimal length, having an amphipathic α-helical structural or a β-pleated sheet motif, and overall positive charge density effects lytic activity. Plant disease is one of the leading causes of crop loss in the world and is estimated to cause up to one third of total crop loss worldwide; for example, in the potato losses associated with bacterial disease are as high as 25% of worldwide production. Additionally, the cultivation of a few species of plants in a concentrated area exacerbates the spread of disease. Recent advances in genetic engineering have lead to the development of plants with disease resistant phenotypes based on the expression of recombinant DNA molecules. Transgenic tobacco plants were engineered with both a wound inducible Pill promoter and a constitutive 35S promoter to express two lytic peptides (SHIVA-1 and SB-37) with bacteriolytic activity. The SHTVA-1 plant demonstrated enhanced resistance to bacterial wilt caused by infection by Pseudomonas solanacearv (Jaynes, J.M. , et al., Plant Science 89: 43 (1993); Destefano-Beltran, L., et al . , Biotechnology in Plant Disease Control, pp. 175-189, Wiley-Liss (1993) . Thus lytic peptides have valuable uses as anti- phytopathogenic agents. However, chemical synthesis of these lytic peptides is very expensive. Therefore, alternate, more economical and efficient methods of synthesis are needed, such as in vivo synthesis in host cells using recombinant DNA methods. Recombinant DNA molecules are produced by sub-cloning genes into plasmids using a bacterial host intermediate. In principle this technique is straightforward. However, any sequence that interferes with bacterial growth through replication or production of products toxic to the bacteria, such a lytic peptides, are difficult to clone. Often, host bacterial cells containing mutated forms of the DNA sequences encoding toxic products will be selected. These mutations can result in either decreased expression or production of an inactive product. Bacteria will even insert mutations that prevent expression of a potentially toxic product in cloned genes controlled by a eukaryotic promoter that is not active in prokaryotes. The effect of this selection of mutated species leads to an inability to isolate sub-clones containing a non-nutated gene of choice. Thus, some sub-cloned genes are unstable in their bacterial hosts, although this instability can only be shown empirically. The bacteriolytic activity of the lytic peptides is an obstacle to the production of stable recombinant DNA molecules that express the genes at high levels. For example, in an attempt to sub-clone into a standard plasmid vector a gene coding for frog magainin, a natural lytic peptide, bacterial transformants contained deletion mutations in the magainin coding region. Another attempt was made to sub-clone a synthetic lytic peptide (SEQ ID NO. 98) into a standard plasmid vector (pUC19) containing the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S promoter. The resulting transformants were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) . However, out of 30 colonies, only 2 sub- clones gave faint positive signals. These two sub-clones were sequenced. The sequence showed that one clone had a point mutation that introduced a stop codon 3/4 of the way through the lytic peptide, and the other clone had a point mutation that changed the start codon from methionine to isoleucine. Both mutations would prevent the biosynthesis of the protein. Four more clones were analyzed, and of these four, one was sub-cloned in the wrong orientation, and three others had mutations introduced into the sequence. One of these sub-clones was selected for further analysis, but it inhibited the growth of its E. coli host. Thus, the production of recombinant DNA molecules coding for lytic peptides is difficult due to the uncertainty in obtaining the* correct sub-clone. Ubiquitin is a small, highly conserved protein present in all eukaryotes. Ubiquitins are encoded by gene families that are characterized by two types of basic structures. Polyubiquitin genes contain several direct repeats of ubiquitin, and ubiquitin- ribosomal fusion genes encode a single ubiquitin unit fused to the coding region for a small riboscπtal associated protein. Both of these gene types are translated -as polyproteins and then are processed by an endogenous ubiquitin bydrolase present in eukaryotes to release multiple ubiquitin proteins or ubiquitin and the ribosomal associated protein. A number of ubiquitin cDNAs or genomic clones have been isolated, including plant ubiquitin cDNAs and genomic clones from the potato (Garbarino, J. and Belknap, W., Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994); Garbarino. J. et al., Plant Molecular Biology 20: 235 (1992)). U.S. Patents 5,093,242 and 5,132,213 to Bachmair et al. teach the use of a ubiquitin cloning vector as a method of producing specified protein amino-termini. A recombinant DNA molecule was constructed with a protein coding gene fused at its amino terminus to a ubiquitin coding gene. Due to translation as a polypeptide and cleavage by hydrolases, a protein with any amino acid at the amino terminus can be generated. The amino terminus can be used to control the metabolic stability of the protein. However, the metabolic stability of the protein is dependent on the resulting amino acid at the amino-terminus, not the generation of a translation polypeptide. The forgoing facts suggest that although lytic peptides as a class may include species that are efficacious in destroying bacteria, neoplastic cells, fungi, virus-infected cells, and protozoa, this lytic characteristic also decreases the stability of sub-cloned lytic peptides in host cells. This decreased stability hinders efforts to develop a more economical and efficient means of synthesizing lytic peptides. It would therefore be a significant advance in the art, and is correspondingly an object of the present invention to develop a method of sub-cloning nucleotide sequences coding for lytic peptides into * expression vectors, providing gene constructs with enhanced stability and gene expression and reduced toxicity. SUMMARY OF THR INVENTION The present invention relates generally to ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion nucleic acid expression vectors comprising a promoter and ubiquitin polypeptide coding sequence ligated to a lytic peptide, ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion protein products, and methods of making and using the same, as hereinafter more fully described.

Julian, are all hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The term "amphipathic as used herein refers to the distribution 'of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid residues along opposing faces of an α-helix structure or other secondary conformation, which results in one face of the α-helix structure being predominantly hydrophobic and the other face being predominantly hydrophilic. The degree of amphipathy of a peptide can be assessed by plotting the sequential amino acid residues on an Edmunson helical wheel (see also Kamtekar, S. et al., Science 262: 1680 (1993). The terms "peptide" and "polypeptide" as used herein refer to a molecule composed of a chain of amino acid residues and is intended to be construed as inclusive of polypeptides and peptides per se having molecular weights of up to 10,000 daltons, as well as proteins having molecular weights of greater that about 10,000 daltons, wherein the molecular weights are number average molecular weights. The term is also intended to be construed as inclusive of functional equivalents thereof when used in reference to a specific peptide coding sequence in the specification and claims herein. Functional equivalents of peptides and polypeptides include but are not limited to deletions, additions, and substitutions of amino acids in the polypeptide or peptide chain that do not adversely affect the overall function of the resulting peptide or polypeptide. The term "plasmid" as used herein refers to a DNA molecule that is capable of autonomous replication within a host cell, either extrachromosomally or as part of the host cell chromosome(s) . The starting plasmids herein are commercially available, are publicly available on an unrestricted basis, or can be constructed from such available plasmids as disclosed herein and/or in accordance with published procedures. In certain instances, as will be apparent to the ordinarily skilled artisan, other plasmids known in the art may be used interchangeable with plasmids described herein. The term "ligation" as used herein refers to the process of forming phosphodiester bonds between two double-stranded DNA fragments. Unless otherwise specified, ligation is accomplished using standard procedures known to one skilled in the art. The teri "poly erase chain reaction," or "PCR" as used herein refers to a method for amplification of a desired nucleotide sequence in vitro, as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,683,195, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The term "nucleic acid" as used herein refers to deoxyribonucleic acid molecules (DNA) composed of a chain of deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleic acid molecules (RNA) composed of a chain of ribonucleotides. The term "nucleic acid" as used herein is to be construed as including functional equivalents thereof when used in reference to a specific nucleotide sequence in the specification and claims herein. Functional equivalents of nucleic acid molecules include synonymous coding sequences with one or more codon substitutions and deletions or additions that do not effect the overall function of the resulting nucleic acid molecule. The degeneracy of the genetic code is well known to the art; therefore, synonymous coding sequences with one or more codon substitutions can be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. Synonymous nucleotide coding sequences vary from the exemplified coding sequences but encode proteins of the same amino acid sequences as those specifically provided herein or proteins with similar function and are therefore also regarded as functional equivalents thereof. The term "promoter" as used herein refers to an untranslated (i.e. one that does not result in a peptide or protein product) sequence upstream of the polypeptide coding region of a nucleotide sequence that controls transcription of a gene. Promoters typically fall into two classes, constitutive and inducible. Inducible promoters initiate high levels of transcription of the nucleic acid under their control in response to external stimuli. Constitutive promoters maintain a relatively constant level of transcription in a given cell. Suitable promoters for use in the present may include both prokaryotic and eukaryotic promoters, with all ubiquitin promoters being preferred, solanaceous plant ubiquitin promoters being highly preferred, and potato ubiquitin promoters being most preferred. Additional control sequences such as ribosα al binding sites and enhancers may be included as control sequences when necessary. The term "polyadeπylation site" as used herein refers to a control sequence located on the 3 ' end of a gene construct that provides a signal for cleavage and polyadeπylation of the transcription unit expressed from the promoter. These control sequences are known to one skilled in the art The term "expression" as used herein refers to transcription and /or translation of a nucleic acid sequence coding for a protein or peptide. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an isolated nucleotide sequence comprising a gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide and functional equivalents thereof, linked to a ubiquitin promoter and functional equivalents thereof. Suitable ubiquitin promoters for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, ubiquitin promoters from solanaceous plants. Preferably, the ubiquitin promoter' is a potato plant ubiquitin promoter and most preferably it is the potato Ubi3 or Ubi7 promoter. In embodiments wherein the isolated nucleotide sequence codes for the potato Ubi3 promoter linked to a gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide it has a nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 93. The Ubi3 promoter alone also has utility as constitutive promoter in eukaryotes, In embodiments wherein the isolated nucleotide sequence codes for the potato Ubi7 promoter linked to a gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide it has a nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 96. The Ubi7 nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 96 includes an intron that is part of the ubiquitin transcription unit. The intron is not required for gene expression from the Ubi7 promoter, thus the Ubi7 promoter region without the intron can be considered as a specific functional equivalent of the Ubi7 promoter. The Ubi7 promoter alone, with or without the intron, has utility as a wound inducible promoter in eukaryotes. Preferably, the nucleotide sequence comprising the isolated ubiquitin promoter and gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide further comprises a gene coding for a lytic peptide ligated to the 3 ' end of the gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide. Suitable genes coding for a lytic peptide have a nucleotide sequence coding for any one of the amino acid sequences according to SEQ ID NO. 1- 91 and 97-98. In one preferred embodiment, the present invention is directed to an isolated nucleotide sequence comprising a gene coding for a lytic peptide ligated to the 3 ' end of the gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide linked to the Ubi3 ubiquitin promoter having a nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 92. In an alternative of this embodiment, the present invention is directed to an isolated nucleotide sequence comprising a gene coding for a lytic peptide ligated to the 3' end of the gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide linked to a Ubi7 ubiquitin promoter having a nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 95. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a recombinant nucleic acid expression vector. The vector is characterized in that it comprises a nucleotide sequence wherein a gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide is linked to a ubiquitin promoter. Preferably, the present invention is directed to a recombinant nucleic acid expression vector characterized in that it further comprises a nucleotide sequence wherein a gene coding for a lytic peptide is ligated to the 3 ' end of the gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide linked to a ubiquitin promoter. Suitable vectors for use in this invention include any eukaryotic or prokaryotic expression vectors known in the art. Preferable vectors for use in this invention are pUC19 and pCGN1547. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a host cell that is transformed by a recombinant DNA expression vector comprising a gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide linked to a ubiquitin promoter. Suitable host cells for transformation in the present invention include all known bacterial host cells, with all strains of Escherichia coli and Agro acterium tumefaciens being preferred. Preferably, the present invention is directed to a host cell the recombinant DNA expression vector further comprises a gene coding for a lytic peptide ligated to the 3 ' end of the gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide linked to a ubiquitin promoter. Suitable genes coding for a lytic peptide have a nucleotide sequence coding for any one of the amino acid sequences according to SEQ ID NO. 1-91 and 97-98. Preferably, the present invention is directed to a solanaceous plant host cell that is transformed by a recombinant DNA expression vector. Most preferably the solanaceous plant cell is a potato plant host cell. in another embodiment, the present invention is directed to an isolated nucleotide sequence and functional equivalents thereof coding for a lytic peptide, where the nucleotide sequence has a sequence coding for any one of the amino acid sequences according to SEQ ID NO. 1-91 and 97-98. In yet another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a purified ubiquitin polypeptide and functional equivalents thereof having an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 94. This embodiment can further comprise a lytic peptide translationally fused to the carboxy terminus of a ubiquitin polypeptide. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method of sub-cloning nucleotide sequences coding for lytic peptides and expressing such sequences in cells. The method comprises a first step wherein a recombinant nucleic acid containing a gene coding for a lytic peptide ligated to a gene coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide linked to a ubiquitin promoter is produced in a first host cell. Suitable first host cells include any known bacterial host cells. Preferably, the first host cell is either an Escherichia coli cell or an Agrobacterium tumefaciens cell. If the peptides are sub-cloned using such a ubiquitin-fusion expression vector, the following advantage results: the lytic peptide gene constructs have increased stability in the bacterial host. While not wishing to be bound by any one theory, the present inventors believe that the stability is due to the ubiquitin protein coding nucleic acid region fused to the 5 ' end of the lytic peptide nucleic acid sequence. Bacteria do not contain the endogenous hydrolase necessary for cleavage of the ubiquitin fusion protein, so the gene constructs are not toxic to bacteria, since active lytic peptide cannot released. Thus functional equivalents of the ubiquitin fusion polypeptide include any ubiquitin molecule that is capable of deceiving the host cell into viewing the gene construct and its products as non-toxic. In a variation of this embodiment, the recombinant nucleic acid vector is isolated from the first host cell and expressed in a second host cell. Suitable second host cells are plant and animal cells, preferably a solanaceous plant cell, and most preferably a potato plant cell. In the second host cell the fusion gene is expressed at high levels and the polyprotein is cleaved by endogenous ubiquitin hydrolases to produce active lytic peptide. These transgenic hosts provide from the expression vector lytic peptides in vivo to combat bacterial infections, fungal infections, protozoal infections, virus infections, and neoplasias. In addition, expression vectors containing- ubiquitin promoters that are either constitutive or wound inducible are used to express peptides in eukaryotes. The present invention is also directed to a method of sub- cloning nucleotide sequences coding for lytic peptides and expressing such sequences in cells. The method comprises producing in a host cell a recombinant nucleic acid expression vector comprising a gene coding for a lytic peptide ligated to the 3 ' end of a gene coding for a ubiquitin promoter linked to a prokaryotic promoter sequence. Suitable prokaryotic promoters include those known to one skilled in the art to be active in prokaryotes and used in plasmid vectors for bacterial gene expression. The recombinant nucleic acid expression vector is expressed in the host cell and ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion polypeptides are isolated from the host. Preferably, the host cell is either an Escherichia coli cell or an Agrobacterium tu efaciens cell. The isolated ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion polypeptides are then cleaved in vitro by ubiquitin hydrolases to release the lytic peptides from the ubiquitin polypeptide (see U.S. Patent No. 5,196,321 to Bachmair et al . ) . The active lytic peptides are then used to treat bacterial infections, fungal infections, protozoal infections, virus infections, and neoplasias. These isolated lytic peptides are in some instances glyoxylated or methylated in vitro to stabilize against proteolytic digestion in vivo. Ubiquitin fusion expression vectors thus have broad utility as cloning and expression vectors to stabilize and sub-clone lytic peptides nucleotide sequences, as well as a wide variety of protein coding nucleic acid sequences that are otherwise toxic to their hosts. The ubiquitin-lytic peptide expression vectors also have broad utility as an economical and efficient means to synthesize lytic peptides in host cells. These lytic peptides have utility for combatting protozoal infections, neoplasias, fungal infections, viral infections, and bacterial infections in mammals and plants. The features and advantages of the invention are more fully shown by the following illustrative examples and embodiments, which are not to be limitingly construed as regard the broad scope, utility, and applicability of the invention.

Exemplary and preferred pUC19 and pCGN1547 plasmid vectors containing a potato {Solanυm tuberosum) ubiquitin-ribosαmal fusion promoter (Ubi3), a region coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide, and a gene coding for a lytic peptide are constructed. To obtain the genomic clone containing a ubiquitin-ribosαmal fusion promoter and ubiquitin polypeptide coding region, a λFIXII potato genomic library is first prescreened using PCR. The PCR primers are homologous to regions of the ubiquitin-ribosαmal fusion cDNA (see Garbarino J., et al.. Plant Molecular Biology 20: 235(1992); Garbarino J. and Belknap W. , Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994); both of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety) . A primer 5' to the beginning ATG of ubiquitin and a primer complementary to a sequence near the 5' end of the ribosomal protein are used. The library is plated in 22 aliquots containing approximately 0.5xl0 6 pfu (plaque forming units) each on an E. coli lawn. A plug is taken from each of the 22 resulting plaques and the eluant from each is subjected to PCR under standard conditions. The PCR products are run on agarose gels. The gels are then blotted and probed with the ubiquitin coding region of the ubiquitin-ribosαmal fusion cDNA according to standard conditions. Two of the plugs produce PCR products that hybridize to the cDNA probe. Both of these are the correct size for the predicted ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion genomic fragment. The eluants from these two plugs are then plated and screened with the ubiquitin coding region of the ubiquitin-ribosαmal fusion cDNA according to standard conditions. For verification, the positive plaques from the initial screen are replated and screened with a probe containing both the ribosα al protein-coding region and the 3 ' end of the potato ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion cDNA. The genomic clones are sequenced using Sequenase version 2.0 (United States Biochemical Corporation) or Prαmega fmol DNA Sequencing System using standard conditions. A genomic clone containing both the ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion promoter region and the ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion coding region is identified. A chimeric gene is then constructed with a portion of the potato ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion genomic clone ligated to a lytic peptide gene. PCR is used to generate the Ubi3 promoter and ubiquitin portion of the chimeric gene. The Ubi3 promoter region includes the 920 bp promoter region upstream of the-ubiquitin ATG, and the ubiquitin polypeptide coding region is 228 bp plus 6 bp of a BamHI restriction site at the 3' end (SEQ ID NO. 93) . The primers contain BamHI restriction sites and are homologous to the 5' end of the ϋbi3 promoter and to the 3 ' end of the ubiquitin polypeptide coding region. The ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion genomic clone is used as the amplification template. This insert is first sub-cloned into the plasmid pCGN1547, as described in Garbarino et al., Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994) . The Ubi3 insert is then isolated from pCGN1547 using the BamHI sites and ligated into pϋC19 under standard conditions. Transformation of E. coli is done according to standard conditions and correct sub-clones are confirmed by mini-prep or PCR DNA analysis. This plasmid is designated pUCUbi3. A nucleotide fragment coding for the lytic peptide (corresponding to the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO. 98) is synthesized using a nucleic acid synthesizer, adding a stop codon to the 3' end, and used as a PCR template. The 5' PCR primer homologous to the lytic peptide nucleotide sequence contains a BamHI site, and the 3' primer contains an Xbal site. These sites are used to sub-clone the PCR generated insert into pUC19. A nopaline synthase polyadeπylation signal (N0S3' ) is then cloned 3 ' to the lytic peptide sequence. Following sequence analysis, the BamHI insert containing the Ubi3 promoter and ubiquitin coding region (SEQ ID NO. 93) is cloned 5' to the lytic peptide. After transforming E. coli under standard conditions, pϋC19 sub-clones are selected for mini-prep or PCR DNA analysis according to standard conditions. The direction of the promoter is confirmed and the junction sequences are verified by sequencing according to standard conditions. The resulting Ubi3 ubiquitin- lytic peptide fusion gene construct corresponds to SEQ ID NO. 92. Unlike previous cloning attempts using the CaMV35S promoter, as described in the Background section, the sequence does not reveal any point mutations in the lytic peptide sub-clones. The plasmid is stable in the E. coli host and did not inhibit its growth. The resulting pUC19 recombinant plasmid is shown in the plasmid map in Figure 1. The sequence for the Ubi3-ubiquitin insert containing the ubiquitin-ribosomal fusion gene promoter and the ubiquitin coding region corresponds to SEQ ID NO. 93 in Table 2 below. The sequence for the chimeric Ubi3 ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusiqp gene construct corresponds to SEQ ID NO. 92 in Table 2 below. This plasmid is designated as pUCUbi3-LP98. The entire Ubi3 ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion gene construct, including the polyadeπylation site, was isolated from pUC19 as an Asp718/HindIII restriction fragment and sub-cloned into the pCGN1547 Agrobacterium vector for use in plant transformation (see McBride, et al., Plant Molecular Biology 14: 269 (1990). This plasmid is designated as pCGNUbi3-LP98.

Exemplary and preferred pUC19 and pCGN1547 plasmid vectors containing a potato (Solaπum tuberosυm) polyubiquitin promoter and intron (Ubi7)', a region coding for a ubiquitin polypeptide, and a gene coding for a lytic peptide are constructed. To obtain the genomic clone containing a polyubiquitin promoter, intron and ubiquitin polypeptide coding region, a λFIXII potato genomic library was first prescreened using PCR as described in Example 2 above. The PCR primers are homologous to regions of the polyubiquitin cDNA (see Garbarino J., et al., Plant Molecular Biology 20: 235(1992)) . A primer homologous to the 5' untranslated region of ubiquitin in the polyubiquitin cDNA and a primer campleroentary to the am no terminus of the ubiquitin coding region in the polyubiquitin cDNA are used. A genomic clone containing both the polyubiquitin promoter region, intron, and the polyubiquitin coding region was identified. A chimeric gene is then constructed with a portion of the potato polyubiquitin genomic clone ligated to a lytic peptide gene, as described in Example 2. PCR is used to generate the Ubi7-ubiquitin portion of the chimeric gene. The Ubi7 promoter region includes the 1220 bp promoter and 568 bp intron upstream of the ubiquitin ATG, and the ubiquitin polypeptide coding region is 228 bp plus 6 bp of a BamHI restriction site (SEQ ID NO. 96) . This plasmid is designated pUCUbi7. A nucleotide fragment coding for the lytic peptide (corresponding to the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO. 98) is generated as described in Example 2. The resulting Ubi7 ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion gene construct corresponds to SEQ ID NO. 95. Unlike previous cloning attempts using the CaMV35S promoter as described in the Background section, the sequence does not reveal any point mutations in the lytic peptide sub-clones. The plasmid was stable in the E. coli host and did not inhibit its growth. The resulting pUC19 recombinant plasmid is shown in the plasmid map in Figure 2. The sequence for the PCR insert containing the polyubiquitin promoter, intron, and the ubiquitin coding region corresponds to SEQ ID NO. 96 in Table 3 below.

The first vector contains the 920 bp Ubi3 promoter ligated to the GUS gene, and expresses the GUS protein. This plasmid is designated pCGNUbi3-GUS. The second vector contains the 920 bp Ubi3 promoter and 228 bp ubiquitin coding region ligated in frame to the GUS gene. This plasmid expresses a ubiquitin-GUS fusion polypeptide. This plasmid is designated pCGNϋbi3-GUSf. Two chimeric genes containing a β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene and the Ubi7 promoter minus the intron region were constructed in pCGN1547 plasmid vectors using PCR, as described in Example 3 and in Garbarino, J., and Belknap, W. , Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994) . The first vector contains a 1156 bp Ubi7 promoter region insert, including the 5' untranslated region of ubiquitin, ligated to the GUS gene. This plasmid does not contain the Ubi7 intron and expresses the GUS protein. This plasmid is designated pCGNϋbi7-GUS. The second vector contains the 1156 Ubi7 ubiquitin promoter from pCGNUbi7-GUS and the 228 bp ubiquitin coding region* fused in frame to the GUS reporter gene. This plasmid expresses a ubiquitin-GUS fusion polypeptide and is designated pCGNϋbi7-GUSf. Ex mpl 6 Pla t Transformation and GPS Gene Expression The chimeric plasmids pCGNUbi3-GUS, pCGNϋbi3-GUSf, pCGNϋbi7- GUS, and pCGNUbi7-GUSf from.Example 5 are introduced into the potato (Solanum tuberosuπi) using Agro acterium mediated PCIYUS95/09339 transformation according to Garbarino, J., and Belknap, W. Plant Molecular Biology 24:119 (1994) . The strain of Agrobacterium tυmefaciens used for transformation (PC2760, see An, G., et al., EMBO J. 4: 277 (1985)) harbors the disarmed Ti plasmid pAL4404 (see Hoekema, A., et al., Nature 303: 179 (1983). Plant transformation is carried out as previously described in Synder, G.W., et al., Plant Cell Rep 12:324 (1993), except that- 1 mg/1 silver thiosulfate is added to the stage II transformation medium (see Chang, H.H., et al., Bot Bull Acad Sci 32: 63 (1991). Expression of the ubiquitin-GUS fusion polypeptide and mRNA products and the GUS protein-alone is examined by northern and western analysis, as described in Garbarino J., and Belknap, W., Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994). GUS protein expression is examined in the transgenic plants using western analysis. Although there is a wide range of activity among individual clones, the ubiquitin-GUS fusion polypeptide containing plants generally give 5-10 fold higher expression than the plants containing GUS protein alone. This higher level of protein expression corresponds to similarly elevated mRNA transcription levels for the ubiquitin-GUS fusion constructs, as shown by northern analysis (described in Garbarino et al., Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994)). Western analysis also shows that the ubiquitin-GUS fusion polypeptide was appropriately processed by endogenous ubiquitin hydrolases to produce free GUS protein. GUS protein activity is measured as described by Jefferson, R.A., et al., EMBO J. 6: 3901 (1987). Table 4 below shows a comparison oξ the GUS activities in plants transformed with pCGNUbi3-GUS (ubi-) and plants transformed with pCGNϋbi3-GUSf (ubi + ) . The activity is measured in n oles methyl umbelliferon (Mϋ) per minute per milligram of protein. Methyl umbelliferon is the fluorescent product of the GUS enzymatic reaction.

Plant Molecular Biology 24:119 (1994) . The strain of Agrαbac erium tumefaciens used for transformation (PC2760, see An, G., et al., EMBO J. 4: 277 (1985)) harbors the disarmed Ti plasmid pAL4404 (see Hoekema, A., et al., Nature 303: 179 (1983) . Plant transformation is carried out as . previously described in Synder, G.W., et al., Plant Cell Rep 12:324 (1993), except that 1 mg/1 silver thiosulfate is added to the stage II transformation medium (see Chang, H.E., et al., Bot Bull Acad Sci 32: 63 (1991). Expression of the ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion polypeptide and mRNA products is examined by northern and western analysis, as described in Example 6 and Garbarino J., and Belknap, W., Plant Molecular Biology 24: 119 (1994). Northern analysis shows that ubiquitin-lytic peptide mRNA is transcribed from the gene construct in the transgenic plants . Western analysis shows that the ubiquitin-lytic peptide fusion polypeptide is appropriately 46 processed by endogenous ubiquitin hydrolases to produce free lytic peptide. RxamnlP 8 Cloned TThi^/TThi7 Promoter- Activity mRNA expression from the cloned Ubi3 promoter was examined before and after wounding to determine if the cloned Ubi3 promoter is wound inducible in transformed plants (see Garbarino, J. and Belknap, W., Plant Molecular Biology 24:119 (1994)). Northern analysis comparing endogenous Ubi3 mRNA expression levels to pCGNUbi3-GUS and pCGNUbi3-GUSf mRNA expression levels in transformed plants (see Example 5) shows that while the endogenous Ubi3 mRNA transcription increases upon wounding, transcription from the recombinant Ubi3 plasmids does not. Thus the recombinant Ubi3 promoter does not have the wound inducible characteristic of the endogenous Ubi3 promoter. This result suggests that the 920 bp of upstream sequence cloned in the Ubi3 genomic clone is not sufficient to obtain wound-dependent activation of the promoter. The promoter instead is constitutive, however, it still demonstrates developmental regulation, as shown in Table 4 above. In contrast, the cloned Ubi7 promoter retains its wound- dependent induction. Northern analysis conpaπng the endogenous Ubi7 mRNA expression levels to the expression levels from pCGNUbi7-GUS and pCGNUbi7-GUSf in transformed plants (see Example 5) shows that both the endogenous and the cloned Ubi7 promoter have wound-dependent activation. 47 r FSHEET' ;JLE?6) DEPOSIT INFORMATION E. coli cultures, each respectively transformed with pUCUbi7- LP98 (Local Accession No. PBT-0273), pUCUbi3-LP98 (Local Accession No. PBT-0276) , pUCUbi7 (Local Accession No. PBT-0277) , and pUCUbi3 (Local Accession No. PBT-0234) were deposited in the Agricultural Research Service Culture Collection (NRRL) .
