had been modified to export ion accumulation times and FT peak noise.
During this initial processing we also corrected any erroneous assignments
of monoisotopic m/z. Using Sequest,24 (link) MS2 spectra were searched against the human
UniProt database (downloaded on 08/02/2011), supplemented with the
sequences of common contaminating proteins such as trypsin. This forward
database was followed by a decoy component, which included all target
protein sequences in reversed order.
Searches were performed
using a 50 ppm precursor ion tolerance.25 (link) When searching Orbitrap MS2 data, we used 0.02 Th fragment ion tolerance.
The fragment ion tolerance was set to 1.0 Th when searching ITMS2
data. Only peptide sequences with both termini consistent with the
protease specificity of LysC were considered in the database search,
and up to two missed cleavages were accepted. TMT tags on lysine residues
and peptide N-termini (+ 229.162932 Da) and carbamidomethylation of
cysteine residues (+ 57.02146 Da) were set as static modifications,
while oxidation of methionine residues (+ 15.99492 Da) was treated
as a variable modification. An MS2 spectral assignment false discovery
rate of less than 1% was achieved by applying the target-decoy strategy.26 (link) Filtering was performed using linear discriminant
analysis as described previously27 (link) to create
one composite score from the following peptide ion and MS2 spectra
properties: Sequest parameters XCorr and unique ΔCn, peptide
length and charge state, and precursor ion mass accuracy. The resulting
discriminant scores were used to sort peptides prior to filtering
to a 1% FDR, and the probability that each peptide-spectral-match
was correct was calculated using the posterior error histogram.
Following spectral assignment, peptides were assembled into proteins
and proteins were further filtered based on the combined probabilities
of their constituent peptides to a final FDR of 1%. In cases of redundancy,
shared peptides were assigned to the protein sequence with the most
matching peptides, thus adhering to principles of parsimony.28

A. Seed Treatment with Isolated Microbe
In this example, an isolated microbe from Tables 1-3 will be applied as a seed coating to seeds of corn (Zea mays). Upon applying the isolated microbe as a seed coating, the corn will be planted and cultivated in the standard manner.
A control plot of corn seeds, which did not have the isolated microbe applied as a seed coating, will also be planted.

This can be accomplished, for example, by applying the agricultural composition to a hopper/bulk tank on a standard 16 row planter, which contains the corn seeds and which is configured to plant the same into rows. Alternatively, the agricultural composition can be contained in a separate bulk tank on the planter and sprayed into the rows upon planting the corn seed.

The inoculants were prepared from isolates grown as spread plates on R2A incubated at 25° C. for 48 to 72 hours. Colonies were harvested by blending with sterile distilled water (SDW) which was then transferred into sterile containers. Serial dilutions of the harvested cells were plated and incubated at 25° C. for 24 hours to estimate the number of colony forming units (CFU) in each suspension. Dilutions were prepared using individual isolates or blends of isolates (consortia) to deliver 1×105 cfu/microbe/seed and seeds inoculated by either imbibition in the liquid suspension or by overtreatment with 5% vegetable gum and oil.
Seeds corresponding to the plants of table 15 were planted within 24 to 48 hours of treatment in agricultural soil, potting media or inert growing media. Plants were grown in small pots (28 mL to 200 mL) in either a controlled environment or in a greenhouse. Chamber photoperiod was set to 16 hours for all experiments on all species. Air temperature was typically maintained between 22-24° C.
Unless otherwise stated, all plants were watered with tap water 2 to 3 times weekly. Growth conditions were varied according to the trait of interest and included manipulation of applied fertilizer, watering regime and salt stress as follows:
-
- Low N—seeds planted in soil potting media or inert growing media with no applied N fertilizer
- Moderate N—seeds planted in soil or growing media supplemented with commercial N fertilizer to equivalent of 135 kg/ha applied N
- Insol P—seeds planted in potting media or inert growth substrate and watered with quarter strength Pikovskaya's liquid medium containing tri-calcium phosphate as the only form phosphate fertilizer.
- Cold Stress—seeds planted in soil, potting media or inert growing media and incubated at 10° C. for one week before being transferred to the plant growth room.
- Salt stress—seeds planted in soil, potting media or inert growing media and watered with a solution containing between 100 to 200 mg/L NaCl.
Untreated (no applied microbe) controls were prepared for each experiment. Plants were randomized on trays throughout the growth environment. Between 10 and 30 replicate plants were prepared for each treatment in each experiment. Phenotypes were measured during early vegetative growth, typically before the V3 developmental stage and between 3 and 6 weeks after sowing. Foliage was cut and weighed. Roots were washed, blotted dry and weighed. Results indicate performance of treatments against the untreated control.
The data presented in table 15 describes the efficacy with which a microbial species or strain can change a phenotype of interest relative to a control run in the same experiment. Phenotypes measured were shoot fresh weight and root fresh weight for plants growing either in the absence of presence of a stress (assay). For each microbe species, an overall efficacy score indicates the percentage of times a strain of that species increased a both shoot and root fresh weight in independent evaluations. For each species, the specifics of each independent assay is given, providing a strain ID (strain) and the crop species the assay was performed on (crop). For each independent assay the percentage increase in shoot and root fresh weight over the controls is given.

The objective of this study was to develop an acute model of homocystinuria in nonhuman primates. Male cynomolgus monkeys of approximately 2-5 years of age (average weight of 3.4 kg) were fasted overnight and orally administered a methionine load at 100 or 300 mg/kg, and plasma was collected at 0-, 0.5-, 1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, and 24-hours post-dose for methionine and total homocysteine measurements by LC-MS/MS.
Oral administration of methionine (100 or 300 mg/kg) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in plasma methionine levels, with peak concentration recorded at 30 minutes and 1 hour post dose for 100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, respectively (
Example 13
The objectives of this study were to determine (1) whether enterorecirculation of methionine occurs, and (2) whether orally-administered SYNB1353 can consume peripherally administered (IP) labeled methionine in mice.
In a first study, healthy male C57BL/6 mice (n=3/group) were fasted overnight and received a single IP dose of D4-methionine (100 mg/kg). Blood and gut effluents (SI, cecum or colon) were collected at 0, 0.5, 1, or 2 hours post dosing for D4-methionine measurements. Results shown in
In a second study, healthy male C57BL/6 mice (n=10-18/group) were fasted overnight and received a single IP dose of D4-Met (100 mg/kg) followed by 2 doses of SYNB1353 PO 0.5 and 1.5 hours later. Blood and urine were collected for D4-Met, D4-tHcy and D4-3-MTP measurements. Results are shown in

SYNB1353 and SYN094 were grown and activated in a bioreactor following optimized processes intended to be used for the scale-up of drug product. Activated cell batches were resuspended to the specified live cell count in assay media, and cells were statically incubated at 37° C. Supernatants were collected at defined timepoints, and the quantity of each analyte (methionine and 3-MTP) in each sample was determined by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). As observed in
In vitro Met consumption assays, as described above, show consumption of methionine and production of 3-MTP by SYNB1353 and not the EcN control (
Example 14
Cystinuria is a genetic disorder of amino acid import in the kidney characterized by excessive excretion of cystine, and dibasic amino acids (ornitihine, lysine, and arginine) in the urine, and cystine stone formation in the urinary tract.
The potential of a methionine consuming strain described herein to treat, prevent, or reduce cystinuria was evaluated by analyzing the effect of a methionine restricted diet in a Slc3a1 knockout (KO) mouse model for cystinuria. Slc3a1 KO mice were subjected to a reduction in the methionine content of diet from the standard 0.62% to 0.12% for eight weeks, and cysteine as well as cystine levels in urine and plasma, and stone formation in the bladder were evaluated according to a scheme shown in
Cystine stone formation was not observed in any of the twelve mice on the low-methionine diet. In contrast, bladder stones were observed in nine out of twelve mice (75%) on the 0.62% diet. Time of stone formation ranged from 2-8 weeks following diet treatment.
These data suggest that a treatment resulting in a reduction in plasma or urinary methionine, e.g., administration of a methionine-consuming strain described herein, is a promising approach for the treatment of cystinuria.
