Supporting document 1Safety assessment – Application A1073 Food derived from Herbicide-tolerant Soybean Line DAS-44406-6SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSBackgroundA genetically modified (GM) soybean line DAS-44406-6, hereafter referred to as 44406, has been developed that is tolerant to three herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), glufosinate ammonium and glyphosate. Tolerance to 2,4-D is achieved through expression of the enzyme aryloxyalkanoatedioxygenase-12 (AAD-12) encoded by the aad-12 gene derived from the soil bacterium Delftia acidovorans. Tolerance to glufosinate ammonium is achieved through expression of the enzyme phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) encoded by the pat gene derived from another soil bacterium Streptomyces viridochromogenes. Tolerance to glyphosate is encoded through expression of a 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) encoded by the 2mepsps gene from corn (Zea mays).In conducting a safety assessment of food derived from soybean line 44406, a number of criteria have been addressed including: a characterisation of the transferred gene, its origin, function and stability in the soybean genome; the changes at the level of DNA, protein and in the whole food; compositional analyses; evaluation of intended and unintended changes; and the potential for the newly expressed protein to be either allergenic or toxic in humans.This safety assessment report addresses only food safety and nutritional issues. It therefore does not address: environmental risks related to the environmental release of GM plants used in food productionthe safety of animal feed or animals fed with feed derived from GM plantsthe safety of food derived from the non-GM (conventional) plant.History of UseSoybean (Glycine max) is grown as a commercial crop in over 35 countries worldwide. Soybean-derived products have a range of food and feed as well as industrial uses and have a long history of safe use for both humans and livestock. Oil, in one form or another, accounts for the major food use of soybean and is incorporated in salad and cooking oil, bakery shortening, and frying fat as well as processed products such as margarine.Molecular CharacterisationComprehensive molecular analyses of soybean line DAS-44406-6 indicate that a single copy of T-DNA containing three expression cassettes for the genes 2m epsps, aad-12 and pat has been inserted at a single locus in Chromosome 6 of the soybean genome. No DNA sequences from the backbone of the transformation vector, including antibiotic resistance marker genes, were transferred to the plant. As a result of the integration of the three expression cassettes, there is a 3 bp insertion at the 5’ junction region and a deletion of 4,385 bp of host DNA. The introduced genetic elements are stably inherited from one generation to the next.Characterisation of Novel ProteinSoybean line DAS-44406-6 expresses three novel proteins, 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT. Expression analyses of the three proteins showed that all three were detected in the plant parts tested. The 2m EPSPS protein was lowest in the seed (approximately 22 ?g/g dry weight) and highest in V10–12 leaves (approximately 2323 ?g/g dry weight). AAD-12 was lowest in the roots (approximately 25 ?g/g dry weight) and highest in V10 – 12 leaves (approximately 116 ?g/g dry weight). PAT protein concentrations were much lower than those for AAD-12 but similarly, the V10 – 12 leaves contained the highest levels (approximately 10 ?g/g dry weight) and the roots contained the lowest levels (approximately 2 ?g/g dry weight). Several studies were submitted with this application, or were known from historical data, to confirm the identity and physicochemical properties of the plant-derived 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins, and demonstrated they conform in size and amino acid sequence to that expected, and do not exhibit any post-translational modification including glycosylation.In relation to potential toxicity and allergenicity, the PAT protein has previously been demonstrated to be non-toxic to mammals and also does not exhibit any potential to be allergenic to humans. For the 2m EPSPS and AAD-12 proteins, bioinformatic studies confirmed the lack of any significant amino acid sequence similarity to known protein toxins or allergens; digestibility studies suggest the proteins would be rapidly degraded in the stomach following ingestion; and thermolability studies showed that both proteins are inactivated by heating. Taken together, the evidence indicates that neither 2m EPSPS nor AAD-12 are likely to be toxic or allergenic to humans.Herbicide MetabolitesThe metabolic profiles resulting from the novel protein x herbicide interactions in DAS-44406-6 have been assessed in previous applications or, in the case of PAT/glufosinate ammonium, have a significant history of use. There are no concerns that the spraying of soybean 44406 with glyphosate, 2,4-D or glufosinate ammonium would result in the production of metabolites that are not also produced in crops sprayed with the same herbicides and already used in the food positional AnalysesDetailed compositional analyses were done to establish the nutritional adequacy of seed from soybean line DAS-44406-6 sprayed with 2,4-D, glufosinate ammonium and glyphosate herbicides. Analyses were done of proximate (moisture, crude protein, fat, ash, fibre), amino acid, fatty acid, vitamin, mineral, phytic acid, trypsin inhibitor, lectin, isoflavone, stachyose and raffinose content. The levels were compared to levels in the seeds of a non-GM control line (‘Maverick’) grown alongside the GM line. These analyses did not indicate any differences of biological significance between the seed from soybean DAS-44406-6 and the non-GM control ‘Maverick’. Significant differences were noted in a number of constituents. However, the differences were typically small and all mean values were within both the tolerance range obtained for non-GM reference varieties grown at the same time and (where it exists) the literature range.Any observed differences are therefore considered to represent the natural variability that exists within soybean. The spraying of soybean line DAS-44406-6 with 2,4-D, glufosinate ammonium and glyphosate, either alone or in combination, did not have a significant effect on seed composition. ConclusionNo potential public health and safety concerns have been identified in the assessment of soybean line DAS-44406-6. On the basis of the data provided in the present Application, and other available information, food derived from soybean line DAS-44406-6 is considered to be as safe for human consumption as food derived from conventional soybean cultivars.TABLE OF CONTENTS TOC \o "1-2" \h \z \u SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS PAGEREF _Toc338690142 \h iLIST OF TABLES PAGEREF _Toc338690143 \h 2LIST OF FIGURES PAGEREF _Toc338690144 \h 2LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS PAGEREF _Toc338690145 \h 31.Introduction PAGEREF _Toc338690146 \h 42.History of use PAGEREF _Toc338690147 \h 42.1Host organism PAGEREF _Toc338690148 \h 42.2Donor organisms PAGEREF _Toc338690149 \h 53.Molecular characterisation PAGEREF _Toc338690150 \h 73.1Method used in the genetic modification PAGEREF _Toc338690151 \h 73.2Description of the introduced genes PAGEREF _Toc338690152 \h 83.3Breeding to obtain soybean line DAS-44406-6 PAGEREF _Toc338690153 \h 113.4Characterisation of the genes in the plant PAGEREF _Toc338690154 \h 123.5Stability of the genetic changes PAGEREF _Toc338690155 \h 143.6Antibiotic resistance marker genes PAGEREF _Toc338690156 \h 153.7 Conclusion PAGEREF _Toc338690157 \h 154.Characterisation of novel proteins PAGEREF _Toc338690158 \h 154.1Potential allergenicity/toxicity of ORFs created by the transformation procedure PAGEREF _Toc338690159 \h 164.2Function and phenotypic effects of the 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins PAGEREF _Toc338690160 \h 174.3Novel protein expression in plant tissues PAGEREF _Toc338690161 \h 194.4Protein characterisation studies PAGEREF _Toc338690162 \h 204.5Potential toxicity PAGEREF _Toc338690163 \h 234.6Potential allergenicity PAGEREF _Toc338690164 \h 264.7Conclusion PAGEREF _Toc338690165 \h 285.Other novel substances PAGEREF _Toc338690166 \h positional analysis PAGEREF _Toc338690167 \h 296.1Key components of soybean PAGEREF _Toc338690168 \h 296.2Study design and conduct PAGEREF _Toc338690169 \h 306.3Seed composition PAGEREF _Toc338690170 \h 316.4Endogenous allergens PAGEREF _Toc338690171 \h 386.5Conclusion PAGEREF _Toc338690172 \h 387.Nutritional impact PAGEREF _Toc338690173 \h 38References PAGEREF _Toc338690174 \h 39LIST OF TABLES TOC \h \z \c "Table" Table 1: Description of the genetic elements contained in the T-DNA of pDAB8264 PAGEREF _Toc333919655 \h 9Table 2: Location and characterisation of novel ORFs in the flanking regions PAGEREF _Toc333919656 \h 14Table 3: Average concentration of 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins in various plant parts from soybean 44406 PAGEREF _Toc333919657 \h 20Table 4: Mean percentage of proximates and fibre in seed from ‘Maverick’ and DAS-44406-6.

Merr.), belonging to the family Leguminosae. The commercial soybean cultivar ‘Maverick’ was used as the parental variety for the genetic modification described in this application, and thus is regarded as the near-isogenic line for the purposes of comparative assessment with soybean 44406.

Crude oil is further refined to produce cooking oil, shortening and lecithin as well as being incorporated into a variety of edible and technical/industrial products. The flakes are dried and undergo further processing to form products such as meal (for use in livestock, pet and poultry food), protein concentrate and isolate (for use in both edible and technical/industrial products), and textured flour (for edible uses).

It comprises pollen grains that are pelleted by the bee in the corbiculae (‘pollen baskets’) located on the posterior pair of legs. Beekeepers can collect the pellets by placing a screen at the entrance to a hive; as the bees pass through the screen, the pellets are dislodged and fall into a collection tray.

Also known as maize, corn has been grown in Mexico and Central America for some 8000 years and in Europe for 500 years and can thus be said to have a long history of safe use as a human food. The majority of corn that is grown however is destined for use as animal feed. In 2009, worldwide production of corn was over 818 million tonnes, with the United States and China being the major producers (~333 and 164 million tonnes, respectively) ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>FAOSTAT</Author><Year>2011</Year><RecNum>549</RecNum><IDText>Online database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Online Source"><Ref_Type>Online Source</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>549</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Online database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>FAOSTAT</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2011</Date_Primary><Reprint>Not in File</Reprint><Web_URL><u>;(FAOSTAT 2011).The epsps gene was isolated from a cell suspension of ‘Black Mexican’ sweet corn. ‘Black Mexican’ is an heirloom cultivar of New England (USA) sweet corn originally introduced to the food supply in 1864 ().Sweet corn is categorized as a vegetable and is mainly used for human consumption directly without processing. Other organismsGenetic elements from several other organisms have been used in the genetic modification of soybean 44406 (refer to Table 1). These non-coding sequences are used to drive, enhance or terminate expression of the two novel genes. None of the sources of these genetic elements is associated with toxic or allergenic responses in humans. The genetic elements derived from plant pathogens are not pathogenic in themselves and do not cause pathogenic symptoms in soybean 44406.Molecular characterisationMolecular characterisation is necessary to provide an understanding of the genetic material introduced into the host genome and helps to frame the subsequent parts of the safety assessment. The molecular characterisation addresses three main aspects:the transformation method together with a detailed description of the DNA sequences introduced to the host genome a characterisation of the inserted DNA including any rearrangements that may have occurred as a consequence of the transformation the genetic stability of the inserted DNA and any accompanying expressed traits.

The protein encoded by the gene is part of the shikamate pathway that is involved in aromatic amino acid synthesis.The sequence of the 2mepsps gene is derived from the wild type epsps gene from corn (Zea mays) with two single nucleotide mutations introduced by site directed mutagenesis. A methionine codon has been added to the N-terminal end of the 2mEPSPS protein sequence in order to restore the cleavage site of the optimized plastid transit peptide. The double mutant produces a 47.5 kDa protein with normal enzyme function and reduced affinity for the herbicide glyphosate. The H4A748 promoter and terminator used to control expression of the 2mepsps gene and are derived from the histone H4 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana. The use of the promoter directs high level constitutive expression, particularly in rapidly growing plant tissues.TPotp C, encodes the optimized transit peptide derived from genes of corn and sunflower and targets the mature protein to the plastids where it is normally located in the cell. aad-12 expression cassette The aad-12 gene of D. acidovorans, also referred to as sdpA PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPlNjaGxlaW5penQ8L0F1dGhvcj48WWVhcj4yMDA0PC9ZZWFy

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Wohlleben et al., 1988; Strauch et al., 1988) used in plasmid pDAB4468 is 552 bp in length and has been optimised for expression in plants. It is driven constitutively by a promoter region of the Cassava vein mosaic virus and terminated by a sequence of the 3'untranslated region of an open reading frame originating from plasmid pTi5955 of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Breeding to obtain soybean line DAS-44406-6A breeding programme was undertaken for the purposes of:obtaining generations suitable for analysing the molecular and genetic characteristics of soybean 44406 ensuring that the DAS-44406-6 event is incorporated into elite proprietary breeding line(s) for commercialisation.. The breeding pedigree for the various generations is given in Figure 3.Following selection of T0 plants (see Section REF _Ref267918845 \r \h \* MERGEFORMAT 3.1) a series of self-fertilisation and seed bulking crosses proceeded up to generation T6. At the T2 generation, plants were crossed with a number of elite lines to produce an F1 generation which was either self-fertilised to produce an F2 generation, or backcrossed to the appropriate parental elite cultivar. Figure 3 also indicates the generations that were used in the various studies characterising soybean 44406-6.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 3: Breeding strategy for plants containing event DAS-44406-6Characterisation of the genes in the plantA range of analyses was undertaken to characterise the genetic modification in soybean line 44406. These included: determination of insert copy number and integrity; and DNA sequence and ORF analysis of inserted DNA as well as flanking and junction regions.Transgene copy number, insertion integrity and plasmid backbone analysisTotal genomic DNA from greenhouse-grown, leaf tissue of individual soybean 44406 seedlings (3 plants/generation) from each of five generations (T2, T3, T4, T6 and F2) and a negative control (non-GM cultivar ‘Maverick’) was used for Southern blot analyses. A positive control (DNA from ‘Maverick’ spiked with T-DNA from plasmid pDAB8264) was also included in the Southern blot analyses. Lateral Flow Strip testing was done of the soybean 44406 seedlings to confirm the presence of the PAT protein. The DNA from soybean 44406 seedlings, the negative control and the positive control was digested with one, or a combination, of restriction enzymes. The resulting DNA fragments were separated and transferred to a membrane for sequential hybridisation with 16 different digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled probes that represented various sections of the T-DNA and vector backbone. The Southern blot analyses indicated there is a single insert in event DAS-44406 and that the arrangement of the T-DNA genetic material is the same as that in the pDAB8264 plasmid (refer to Figure 2). No vector backbone sequences are present in soybean 44406.Additional to these data, the hybridization pattern was the same across the five generations, thus indicating there had been no rearrangements to the inserted DNA and therefore, that the insert was stably inherited across the generations.Insert characterisationGenomic DNA was obtained from leaf tissue of T6 generation soybean 44406 plants and a negative control (cultivar ‘Maverick’). These samples were used to characterise the DNA sequence in the transgene insertion and its flanking border regions. The sequence of the estimated parental locus in cultivar ‘Williams 82’ was used to design primers for cloning the parental locus in ‘Maverick’. ‘Williams 82’ is the elite US cultivar that was chosen for sequencing of the whole soybean genome PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPlNjaG11dHo8L0F1dGhvcj48WWVhcj4yMDEwPC9ZZWFyPjxS

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Schmutz et al., 2010). Standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to clone the insert and border sequences of event DAS-44406-6 and then obtain the sequences by primer walking. In total, eight fragments were cloned and sequenced. DNA sequencing analysis was done using commercially available software (Sequencher?). The total cloned sequences of DAS-44406-6 comprised 13,659 bp, consisting of 1,495 bp of 5’ flanking sequences, 1885 bp of 3’ flanking sequences and 10,280 bp of the T-DNA insert from plasmid pDAB8264. The sequence analysis revealed a 3bp insertion at the 5’ integration junction and also confirmed that all inserted sequences originate from the T-DNA of the transforming pDAB8264 plasmid.Following the sequence analysis, a bioinformatic search was undertaken using the BLASTn algorithm to compare the 5’ and 3’ border sequences with sequences in the soybean genome from ‘Williams 82’ (for a general discussion of this type of analysis refer to Section 4.5.2). This indicated a 99% identity with a segment of Chromosome 6 of ‘Williams 82’ and therefore confirmed that the flanking sequences in event DAS-44406-6 are of Glycine max origin. Sequence alignment of the parental locus in ‘Maverick’ with the full sequence of the DAS-44406-6 insert and flanking regions, indicated that there has been a deletion of a 4,383 bp fragment from the parental locus during the T-DNA integration in DAS-44406-6. Within this deletion, an open reading frame (ORF) of 777 bp was identified; no analysis was done to ascertain whether this ORF was associated with a promoter and/or terminator. A BLASTp search of the ORF against sequences in GenBank (see Section 4.5.2) did not identify any similarity to known proteins i.e. it does not appear that there has been disruption to any known endogenous genes as a result of the deletion.Novel open reading frame analysisTwo separate in silico analyses of the whole insert and the flanking regions (5’ -1494?bp and 3’ - 1885?bp) were done to determine whether any novel ORFs had been created. Each analysis comprised a search of six-frame translations between stop codons regardless of the presence of a start codon or the number of amino acid residues coded by the nucleotide sequence.A total of 651 ORFs within the T-DNA insert were identified. Twelve ORFs were identified in the flanking regions (see REF _Ref283037475 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 2). Discussion of the analysis of the novel ORFs is given in Section 4.1.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 2: Location and characterisation of novel ORFs in the flanking regionsLocation of flanking regionNucleotide location of reading frameNumber of amino acids codedDeduced amino acid sequence5’ border1483 - 155424GHHGGPNSLKLESSQLRSTGQIRS1307 -150767RVGPDIVACYWGFLSVACVLHYCMGLAHPTIQCIFMCDNVMGFYCSCCFLFRNLHVNGKVIMEVRIV_1476 - 15029TVRSSWRSE11943 - 1177325FQTIRTSMMTLPFTCKFLKRKQQEQ1553 - 491 21ERIWPVDLNCELSNFKLFGPP1534 - 146922TSIASFLISNYSDLHDDLTVYM3’ border11737 - 1179018IYPAPASQQLDLQRTNVV11726 - 1201998FTIEYILPQPANSSIYRERMSCDMWNKATTTTYMNLTIESGSPSCDVIHGMDMVADRKRKKKCMYMCENESFFYPNNKKKLIIYPKNYLHDRYVHFFP_11682 - 1182548KRPQCVIKLSKRQFDLQLNISCPSQPTARFTENECRVICGTRQRQQHT_11943 - 1177357KKLSFSHIYMHFFFLFRSATMSMPWITSQLGDPDSIVRFMYVVVVALFHISHDIRSL_11831 - 1173034DSCMLLSLPCSTYHTTFVLCKSSCWLAGAGYIQL11965 - 1172082FFFIIWIKKTLIFTHIHAFLFSFSIGHHVHAMDYITTRRPRLYCEIHVCCCRCLVPHITRHSFSVNRAVGWLGQDIFNCKSN_Stability of the genetic changes The concept of stability encompasses both the genetic and phenotypic stability of the introduced trait over a number of generations. Genetic stability refers to maintenance of the modification over successive generations, as produced in the initial transformation event. It is best assessed by molecular techniques, such as Southern analysis or PCR, using probes and primers that cover the entire insert and flanking regions. Phenotypic stability refers to the expressed trait remaining unchanged over successive generations. It is often quantified by a trait inheritance analysis to determine Mendelian heritability via assay techniques (chemical, molecular, visual).Phenotypic stability was assessed using greenhouse-grown plants of a segregating F2 generation of soybean 44406 generated by crossing T2 plants with an elite non-GM line taken from the Applicant’s soybean germplasm development programme. The F1 plants were self-pollinated to obtain the F2 generation (refer to Figure 3). Leaves of 119 F2 soybean 44406 plants were analysed by Lateral Flow Strip testing for expression of the PAT protein. A Chi squared (Χ2) analysis of the results was done for the 3:1 segregation ratio of PAT positive versus negative plants. A total of 96 plants were positive for PAT while 23 were negative. The Χ2 value of 2.042 (P>0.05) indicated that the segregation ratio was consistent with the Mendelian inheritance pattern of a single dominant trait.All 119 plants were also tested by event-specific PCR for the presence/absence of the DAS-44406-6 insert. The results were entirely consistent with the PAT protein results i.e. all plants testing positive for PAT also tested positive for the insert, and all plants testing negative for PAT also tested negative for the insert.The genetic stability of event DAS-44406-6 in the soybean genome was established by the experimental work described in Section 3.4.1 in which the hybridisation pattern of the event was shown to be identical across the T2, T3,T4, T6 and F2 generations.Antibiotic resistance marker genesNo antibiotic marker genes are present in soybean 44406. Plasmid backbone analysis shows that no plasmid backbone has been integrated into the soybean genome during transformation, i.e. the Spec gene, which was used as a bacterial selectable marker gene, is not present in soybean 44406.3.7 ConclusionComprehensive molecular analyses of soybean line DAS-44406-6 indicate that a single copy of T-DNA containing three expression cassettes for the genes 2m epsps, aad-12 and pat has been inserted at a single locus in Chromosome 6 of the soybean genome. No DNA sequences from the backbone of the transformation vector, including antibiotic resistance marker genes, were transferred to the plant. As a result of the integration of the three expression cassettes, there is a 3 bp insertion at the 5’ junction region and a deletion of 4,385 bp of host DNA. The introduced genetic elements are stably inherited from one generation to the next.Characterisation of novel proteinsIn considering the safety of novel proteins it is important to consider that a large and diverse range of proteins are ingested as part of the normal human diet without any adverse effects, although a small number have the potential to impair health, e.g. because they are allergens or anti-nutrients ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Delaney</Author><Year>2008</Year><RecNum>288</RecNum><IDText>Evaluation of protein safety in the context of agricultural biotechnology</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Journal"><Ref_Type>Journal</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>288</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Evaluation of protein safety in the context of agricultural biotechnology</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Delaney,B.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Astwood,J.D.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Cunny,H.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Eichen Conn,R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Herouet-Guicheney,C.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>MacIntosh,S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Meyer,L.S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Privalle,L.S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Gao,Y.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Mattsson,J.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Levine,M.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>ILSI</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2008</Date_Primary><Keywords>Safety</Keywords><Keywords>Proteins</Keywords><Keywords>methods</Keywords><Keywords>Amino Acid Sequence</Keywords><Reprint>In File</Reprint><Start_Page>S71</Start_Page><End_Page>S97</End_Page><Periodical>Food and Chemical Toxicology</Periodical><Volume>46</Volume><Web_URL_Link3><u>file://F:\Risk Assessment - Chemical Safety\GMO - shared\References\GM References\Delaney et al_2008_Protein Safety.pdf</u></Web_URL_Link3><ZZ_JournalFull><f name="System">Food and Chemical Toxicology</f></ZZ_JournalFull><ZZ_WorkformID>1</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(Delaney et al., 2008). As proteins perform a wide variety of functions, different possible effects have to be considered during the safety assessment including potential toxic, anti-nutritional and allergenic effects. To effectively identify any potential hazards requires knowledge of the characteristics, concentration and localisation of all novel proteins expressed in the organism as well as a detailed understanding of their biochemical function and phenotypic effects. It is also important to determine if the novel protein is expressed as expected, including whether any post-translational modifications have occurred.Two types of novel proteins were considered:those that may be potentially generated as a result of the creation of novel open reading frames during the introduction of the T-DNA of plasmid pDAB8264 (see Section 3.4.3)those that were expected to be produced as a result of the expression of the introduced genes. Soybean 44406 expresses three novel proteins, 2m EPSPS, AAD-12, and PAT.Potential allergenicity/toxicity of ORFs created by the transformation procedureStudy submitted:Guttikonda, S. (2012). Bioinformatics evaluation of the putative reading frames across the whole T-DNA insert and junctions in DAS-44406-6 soybean for potential protein allergenicity and toxicity. Study ID# 120481, Dow AgroSciences (unpublished).Twelve novel ORFs were identified in the flanking regions and 651 in the T-DNA insert itself, in event DAS-44406-6 (refer to Section 3.4.3). The amino acid sequences corresponding to these ORFs were analysed for potential allergenicity and toxicity using an in silico approach. These analyses are entirely theoretical since there is no reason to expect that any of the identified ORFs would, in fact, be expressed.Allergenicity assessmentThe amino acid sequence of each identified ORF was compared with a peer-reviewed database containing 1,603 known and putative allergens, as well as celiac-induction sequences, residing in the FARRP (Food Allergy Research and Resource Program) dataset (Version 12) within AllergenOnline (University of Nebraska; http:). Of the 12 ORFs identified in the flanking regions (see Table 2), only six were longer than 29 amino acids (the number required to satisfy >35% identity over at least 80 amino acids). These six underwent a similarity search using the FASTA algorithm and the BLOSUM50 scoring matrix (for general information of this type of analysis see Section 4.6.2). No similarities with known allergens were found. All of the ORFs were screened for any matches of eight contiguous amino acids to known allergens. No matches of eight or more contiguous amino acids were found in any of the sequences.Similarly, for the T-DNA, no matches of eight or more contiguous amino acids were found for any of the sequences. A total of 441 of the ORFs were less than 29 amino acids; of the 210 remaining ORFs searched using the FASTA algorithm, no similarities with known allergens were found.Toxicity assessmentThe sequences corresponding to the 12 identified ORFs in the flanking regions were compared with protein sequences present in a number of large public reference databases including Uniprot_Swissprot, PIR (Protein Information Resource), PRF (Protein Research Foundation) and PDB (Protein Data Bank). The similarity searches used the BLASTP (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool Protein) algorithm (refer to Section 4.5.2 for an explanation). No significant similarities of the 12 ORFs to any sequences (including those of known toxins) in the databases were found. The BLASTP search of the T-DNA insert sequences returned 10 ORFs that showed alignments with an E-value <1.0 (for explanation see Section 4.5.2). As expected, three of the alignments were with 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT. None of the other significant alignments were related to any known protein toxins.ConclusionIt is concluded that, in the unlikely event that any of the identified ORFs were expressed, there is no significant similarity between the encoded sequences and any known protein toxins or allergens.Function and phenotypic effects of the 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins2m EPSPS proteinGlyphosate acts as a herbicide by inhibiting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This endogenous enzyme is involved in the shikimate pathway for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis which occurs exclusively in plants and microorganisms, including fungi. Inhibition of the wild type EPSPS enzyme by glyphosate leads to deficiencies in aromatic amino acids in plant cells and eventually to the death of the whole plant. The shikimate biochemical pathway is not present in animals. For this reason, enzymes of the shikimate pathway have been considered as potential targets for essentially non-toxic herbicides (such as glyphosate) and antimicrobial compounds.Naturally occurring EPSPS proteins are widespread in nature and have been extensively studied over a period of more than thirty years. The modified 2mEPSPS protein present in soybean 44406 differs from the wild type maize enzyme by two amino acid substitutions – threonine replaced by isoleucine at position 102, and proline replaced by serine at position 106 ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Lebrun</Author><Year>1997</Year><RecNum>815</RecNum><IDText>Mutated 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, gene coding for said protein and transformed plants containing said gene</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Patent"><Ref_Type>Patent</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>815</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Mutated 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, gene coding for said protein and transformed plants containing said gene</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Lebrun,M.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Sailland,A.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Freyssinet,G.</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>1997</Date_Primary><Keywords>Plants</Keywords><Keywords>Threonine</Keywords><Keywords>Isoleucine</Keywords><Reprint>Not in File</Reprint><Issue>WO/9704103 A2</Issue><Web_URL><u>:\Risk Assessment - Chemical Safety\GMO - shared\References\GM References\Lebrun et al_1997_2mepsps patent.pdf</u></Web_URL_Link2><ZZ_WorkformID>22</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(Lebrun et al., 1997). These two amino acid changes result in a protein with greater than 99.5% identity to the native maize EPSPS protein. However the modification confers a decreased binding affinity for glyphosate thus allowing the protein to maintain an adequate level of enzymatic activity in the presence of the herbicide. Plants expressing the modified maize enzyme therefore are able to continue to function in the presence of the herbicide. The commercial soybean cultivar ‘Maverick’, used as the parent for the genetic modification described in this application, contains a wild type EPSPS protein.AAD-12 proteinThe native AAD-12 (GenBank Accession AAP88277) is an α-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase that catalyses the breakdown of pyridyloxyacetate auxins and achiral phenoxy auxins to an intermediate that, itself, is then spontaneously broken down to a herbicidally inactive phenol and glyoxylate (refer to Figure 4). In the case of soybean 44406, the active herbicide that would be applied is 2,4-D and the inactive phenol produced would be 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP). Such side-chain degradation of 2,4-D has been observed in many conventional plants ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>IPCS</Author><Year>1984</Year><RecNum>902</RecNum><IDText>2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Report"><Ref_Type>Report</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>902</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>IPCS</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>1984</Date_Primary><Keywords>2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid</Keywords><Reprint>Not in File</Reprint><Volume>Environmental Health Criteria 29</Volume><Publisher>International Programme on Chemical Safety INCHEM</Publisher><Web_URL><u>;(IPCS, 1984) albeit to a limited degree not necessarily associated with tolerance to 2,4-D.Native AAD-12 is also known as (S)-phenoxypropionate/α-ketoglutarate-dioxygenase (SdpA) and is one of two enantiospecific enzymes that occurs in Delftia acidovorans.

Free L-PPT released from bialaphos by peptidases (or applied directly as a synthetic herbicide) inhibits glutamine synthetase which in turn leads to rapid accumulation of ammonia and subsequent cell death. The homologous polypeptide produced by the bar and pat genes (see Section 3.2.3) is known as phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT); it is an acetyl transferase with enzyme specificity for both L-PPT and demethylphosphinothricin (DMPT) in the acetylation reaction (Thompson et al., 1987). In the presence of acetyl-CoA, PAT catalyses the acetylation of the free amino group of L-PPT to N-acetyl-L-PPT, a herbicidally-inactive compound. The kinetics and substrate specificity of the PAT enzyme are well characterised; it has a high specificity for L-PPT and has been shown to have a very low affinity to related compounds and amino acids; even excess glutamate is unable to block the L-PPT-acetyltransferase reaction ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Thompson</Author><Year>1987</Year><RecNum>342</RecNum><IDText>Characterization of the herbicide-resistance gene bar from Streptomyces hygroscopicus</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Journal"><Ref_Type>Journal</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>342</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Characterization of the herbicide-resistance gene <i>bar</i> from <i>Streptomyces hygroscopicus</i></Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Thompson,C.J.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Movva,N.R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Tizard,R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Crameri,R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Davies,J.E.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Lauwereys,M.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Botterman,J.</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>1987</Date_Primary><Keywords>Glutamine</Keywords><Keywords>Escherichia coli</Keywords><Keywords>Bacteria</Keywords><Keywords>Plants</Keywords><Reprint>In File</Reprint><Start_Page>2519</Start_Page><End_Page>2523</End_Page><Periodical>The EMBO Journal</Periodical><Volume>6</Volume><Web_URL><u>:\Risk Assessment - Chemical Safety\GMO - shared\References\GM References\Thompson et al_1987_bar gene.pdf</u></Web_URL_Link2><ZZ_JournalFull><f name="System">The EMBO Journal</f></ZZ_JournalFull><ZZ_WorkformID>1</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(Thompson et al., 1987).The acetyltransferase activity is heat- and pH-dependent ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Wehrmann</Author><Year>1996</Year><RecNum>317</RecNum><IDText>The similarities of bar and pat gene products make them equally applicable for plant engineers</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Journal"><Ref_Type>Journal</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>317</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>The similarities of <i>bar</i> and <i>pat</i> gene products make them equally applicable for plant engineers</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Wehrmann,A.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Van Vliet,A.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Opsomer,C.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Botterman,J.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Schulz,A.</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>1996</Date_Primary><Keywords>Soybeans</Keywords><Keywords>Genes</Keywords><Keywords>Genetic Engineering</Keywords><Keywords>Escherichia coli</Keywords><Keywords>Proteins</Keywords><Keywords>Plants</Keywords><Keywords>Molecular Weight</Keywords><Keywords>Digestion</Keywords><Keywords>Human</Keywords><Reprint>In File</Reprint><Start_Page>1274</Start_Page><End_Page>1278</End_Page><Periodical>Nature Biotechnology</Periodical><Volume>14</Volume><ZZ_JournalFull><f name="System">Nature Biotechnology</f></ZZ_JournalFull><ZZ_WorkformID>1</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(Wehrmann et al., 1996).

Study ID# 081022, Dow AgroSciences (unpublished) The 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins are expected to be expressed in all plant tissues since the 2m epsps, aad-12 and pat genes are driven by constitutive promoters (refer to Table 1). Ten sites in the U.S, representing regions of diverse agronomic practices and environmental conditions for soybean, were planted with soybean 44406 (generation T4) and ‘Maverick’. Five herbicide spraying treatments were applied to soybean 44406 namely, unsprayed, sprayed with 2,4-D (1120 g a.e./ha), sprayed with glufosinate (454 g a.i./ha), sprayed with glyphosate (1260 g a.e./ha) and sprayed with 2,4-D + glufosinate + glyphosate (1120 a.e/ha + 374 g a.e./ha + 1260 g a.e./ha). Samples for analysis of expression of 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT were taken from a number of plant parts at specific growth stages (refer to Table 2).The 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT protein levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using commercial ELISA kits specific for each protein. A commercially available software programme was used to calculate the concentrations of immunoreactive 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins from optical density values. No 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 or PAT proteins were detected in samples taken from ‘Maverick’ plants. For soybean 44406 plants, 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins were detected in all plant parts (Table 3). 2m EPSPS was lowest in the seed (approximately 22 ?g/g dry weight) and highest in V10–12 leaves (approximately 2323 ?g/g dry weight). AAD-12 was lowest in the roots (approximately 25 ?g/g dry weight) and highest in V10 – 12 leaves (approximately 116 ?g/g dry weight). PAT protein concentrations were much lower than those for AAD-12 but similarly, the V10 – 12 leaves contained the highest levels (approximately 10 ?g/g dry weight) and the roots contained the lowest levels (approximately 2 ?g/g dry weight).

The Applicant claims that this addition serves the dual purpose of facilitating cloning operations and optimising translation initiation. The AAD-12 protein comprises 293 amino acids and has an approximate molecular weight of 32 kDa.The PAT protein produced by soybean 44406 is identical to the native protein (Uniprot Accession No. Q57146). It comprises 183 amino acids and has an approximate molecular weight of 21 kDa.None of the proteins are produced in sufficient quantity in soybean 44406 to isolate enough for the toxicological and biochemical studies required for a safety assessment. A standard procedure to overcome this type of problem is to produce the protein in a bacterial system and, if this protein shows equivalence to the in planta-produced protein, to then use the bacterially-produced protein for the toxicological and biochemical studies. The AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS proteins were therefore expressed in recombinant Pseudomonas fluorescens while the PAT protein was expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli. Characterisation tests were done to confirm the identity and equivalence of these bacterially-produced proteins to those produced in soybean 44406. For the PAT protein, only the identity of the protein as produced in soybean 44406 and compared with a bacterially-produced protein was considered, since other characteristics of this protein have already been extensively parison of plant and microbial proteinsTesting of the equivalence of the microbial- and plant-derived 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT was done as follows:For all three proteins, SDS-PAGE and Western blotting was done. For the PAT analysis on SDS-PAGE/Western blotting, a total plant protein extract was compared with a purified PAT microbial extract while for the AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS samples, purified protein from both sources was used. Proteins on SDS were detected by Coomassie staining; immunoreactivity was detected on Western blots usingfor 2m EPSPS, an anti-2m EPSPS monoclonal mouse primary antibody with a goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidise-linked secondary antibody.for AAD-12, an anti-AAD-12 polyclonal rabbit primary antibody with a goat anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidise-linked secondary antibodyfor PAT, an anti-PAT polyclonal rabbit primary antibody with a goat anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidise-linked secondary antibody ANDa monoclonal mouse primary antibody with a goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidise-linked secondary antibody.For the PAT protein, a commercially available ELISA plate assay (EnviroLogix) was also used for immunochemical detection. For the AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS proteins, peptide mass fingerprinting and sequence analysis was done using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization – time of flight (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray ionization LC/MS (ESI-LC/MS) mass spectrometry techniques in order to obtain information on the amino acid sequence of the proteins. N- and C-terminal peptides were then further analysed by tandem mass spectrometry to confirm their amino acid sequences.For AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS, a glycosylation analysis was undertaken. N-glycosylated proteins are glycosylated on an asparagine residue and commonly contain an asparagine-X-serine/threonine sequence (N-X-S/T), where X is any amino acid except proline ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Orlando</Author><Year>1998</Year><RecNum>390</RecNum><IDText>Analysis of Glycoproteins</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Book Chapter"><Ref_Type>Book Chapter</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>390</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Analysis of Glycoproteins</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Orlando,R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Yang,Y.</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>1998</Date_Primary><Keywords>analysis</Keywords><Reprint>Not in File</Reprint><Start_Page>216</Start_Page><End_Page>246</End_Page><Volume>2nd</Volume><Title_Secondary>Mass Spectrometry of Biological Materials</Title_Secondary><Authors_Secondary>Larsen,B.S.</Authors_Secondary><Authors_Secondary>McEwen,C.N.</Authors_Secondary><Issue>9</Issue><Publisher>Marcel Dekker</Publisher><Web_URL><u>;(Orlando and Yang, 1998).

The presence of the proteins was confirmed by either lateral flow strip assay (AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS) or ELISA assay (PAT). The SDS-PAGE analyses of the AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS purified proteins indicated that each protein from both sources produced a single major band that ran at the expected approximate molecular weight calculated from the known amino acid sequence of each protein i.e. the estimated MW of AAD-12 was approximately 32 kDa and that of 2m EPSPS was 47 kDa. Western blots using both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to PAT showed an immunoreactive band at approximately 20 kDa in both crude extract of soybean 44406 and bacterially-derived PAT which compared with the calculated molecular weight of 21 kDa.Western blots using antibodies to AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS showed an immunoreactive band at the expected approximate molecular weight for each protein derived from both sources.MALDI-TOF and ESI-LC mass spectrometry of AAD-12 and 2mE EPSPSPurified AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS proteins from both sources were run on SDS-PAGE and the corresponding protein bands were excised and subjected to in-gel digestion by trypsin and chymotrypsin followed by MALDI -TOF and ESI-LC mass spectrometry. The masses of the detected peptides were compared to those deduced from potential trypsin or chymotrypsin cleavage sites. For AAD-12, MALDI-TOF sequence coverage was approximately 84% of the theoretical peptide sequences and included both the N- and C-termini. The analysis confirmed that the sequence of the soybean 44406-derived protein matched that of the microbially-derived protein. ESI-LC/MS analysis showed that, as for the microbially-derived protein, the N-terminal Met of the soybean 44406-derived AAD-12 protein had been removed and the alanine at position 2 of the soybean 44406-derived protein had been acetylated.

The C-terminal sequences of the soybean 44406- and microbially-derived AAD-12 were as expected and were indistinguishable.For 2m EPSPS, MALDI-TOF sequence coverage was approximately 86% of the theoretical sequences and included both N- and C- termini. The analysis confirmed the equivalence of the protein from both sources. For both the N- and C-termini, the sequence of the protein from both sources was indistinguishable and was identical to the expected.Glycosylation of AAD-12 and 2m EPSPSGlycosylation analysis of the purified AAD-12 and 2m EPSPS proteins from plant and microbial sources derived from soybean 44406 did not detect any covalently-linked carbohydrates. Further confirmation of the non-glycosylated status of both proteins from both sources can be deduced from the molecular weight analyses in which the proteins ran at the expected molecular weight in the SDS-PAGE/western blot analyses; glycosylation would add to the apparent overall protein molecular weight.Enzyme activity of 2m EPSPSBoth the bacterially-derived and 44406-derived 2m EPSPS were shown to have the expected catalytic activity in the presence of PEP substrate.ConclusionA range of characterisation methods submitted by the Applicant and in previous studies confirmed the identity and equivalence of the 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins produced in both a bacterial expression system and in soybean 44406. Based on weight-of-evidence, it is concluded that microbially-derived 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins are suitable surrogates for use in safety assessment studies.4.5Potential toxicity While the vast majority of proteins ingested as part of the diet are not typically associated with toxic effects, a small number may be harmful to health. Therefore, if a GM food differs from its conventional counterpart by the presence of one or more novel proteins, these proteins should be assessed for their potential toxicity. The main purpose of an assessment of potential toxicity is to establish, using a weight of evidence approach, that the novel protein will behave like any other dietary protein. An oral toxicity study is only deemed necessary if the results of biochemical, bioinformatic, digestibility or stability studies indicate further investigation of potential toxicity is warrantedThe PAT protein will not be addressed further in this assessment as it has been sufficiently characterised from a food safety perspective ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Delaney</Author><Year>2008</Year><RecNum>288</RecNum><IDText>Evaluation of protein safety in the context of agricultural biotechnology</IDText><Prefix>see e.g. </Prefix><MDL Ref_Type="Journal"><Ref_Type>Journal</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>288</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Evaluation of protein safety in the context of agricultural biotechnology</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Delaney,B.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Astwood,J.D.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Cunny,H.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Eichen Conn,R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Herouet-Guicheney,C.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>MacIntosh,S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Meyer,L.S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Privalle,L.S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Gao,Y.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Mattsson,J.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Levine,M.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>ILSI</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2008</Date_Primary><Keywords>Safety</Keywords><Keywords>Proteins</Keywords><Keywords>methods</Keywords><Keywords>Amino Acid Sequence</Keywords><Reprint>In File</Reprint><Start_Page>S71</Start_Page><End_Page>S97</End_Page><Periodical>Food and Chemical Toxicology</Periodical><Volume>46</Volume><Web_URL_Link3><u>file://F:\Risk Assessment - Chemical Safety\GMO - shared\References\GM References\Delaney et al_2008_Protein Safety.pdf</u></Web_URL_Link3><ZZ_JournalFull><f name="System">Food and Chemical Toxicology</f></ZZ_JournalFull><ZZ_WorkformID>1</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(see e.g. Delaney et al., 2008). A bioinformatics analysis was submitted comparing the PAT protein sequence with sequences in an updated (February 2011) protein database but none of the significant sequence alignments were associated with any known protein toxins.

While the TfdA enzyme, to which the SdpA and RdpA enantiospecific enzymes are related, is widespread in soil bacteria, few bacterial strains have been isolated that contain the sdpA and rdpA genes (refer to Section 3.2.2). There have also been few studies on the presence, natural abundance and activation of the rdpA and sdpA genes. However, it is known that the sdpA gene is present in bacteria in unsprayed agricultural soil ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Paulin</Author><Year>2010</Year><RecNum>777</RecNum><IDText>Abundance and expression of enantioselective rdpA and sdpA dioxygenase genes during degradation of the racemic herbicide (R,S)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate in soil</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Journal"><Ref_Type>Journal</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>777</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Abundance and expression of enantioselective <i>rdpA</i> and <i>sdpA</i> dioxygenase genes during degradation of the racemic herbicide (R,S)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate in soil</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Paulin,M.M.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Nicolaisen,M.H.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Sorensen,J.</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2010</Date_Primary><Keywords>Soil</Keywords><Keywords>Genes</Keywords><Reprint>In File</Reprint><Start_Page>2873</Start_Page><End_Page>2883</End_Page><Periodical>Applied and Environmental Microbiology</Periodical><Volume>76</Volume><Issue>9</Issue><Web_URL_Link2><u>file://F:\Risk Assessment - Chemical Safety\GMO - shared\References\GM References\Paulin et al_2010_sdpA.pdf</u></Web_URL_Link2><ZZ_JournalFull><f name="System">Applied and Environmental Microbiology</f></ZZ_JournalFull><ZZ_WorkformID>1</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(Paulin et al., 2010).

This showed that while no significant changes to protein structure were indicated by SDS-PAGE after any of the heat treatments (up to 95°C) except autoclaving, the enzymatic activity of the protein was eliminated by any heating to 50°C or above.Bacterially-derived 2m EPSPS protein was solubilised in buffer and then either kept on ice or incubated at 25, 37, 55, 75, and 95°C for 30 min. The intactness of the protein was detected by gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) coupled with a Coomassie blue staining, and by ELISA. Enzyme activity of 2mEPSPS was determined based upon the presence or absence of inorganic phosphate as measured by the malachite green dye assay (see Section 4.4.1).SDS-PAGE showed that as the temperature increased additional multimeric aggregates became apparent and there was also some degradation of the protein’s primary structure ,as indicated by a fading in band intensity with increasing temperature. The ELISA analysis indicated that the epitopes for the polyclonal antibody were significantly altered once the protein was heated to or above 55°C. Enzyme activity was significantly diminished after heating. At 55°C, approximately 73% of the activity was lost and at temperatures above 75°C, approximately 94% of the activity was lost. Taken together, the results indicate that heating above 55°C denatures the 2m EPSPS protein resulting in a loss of immunoreactivity and enzymatic activity.4.5.5Acute oral toxicity studyAcute oral toxicity studies in mice using bacterially-produced 2m EPSPS and AAD-12 proteins were submitted by the Applicant but are not included in this safety assessment since no safety concerns were identified in any of the other studies. 4.6Potential allergenicityThe potential allergenicity of novel proteins was evaluated using an integrated, step-wise, case-by-case approach relying on various criteria used in combination.

The assessment focuses on: the source of the novel protein; any significant amino acid sequence similarity between the novel protein and known allergens;the structural properties of the novel protein, including susceptibility to digestion, heat stability and/or enzymatic treatment; andspecific serum screening if the novel protein is derived from a source known to be allergenic or has amino acid sequence similarity to a known allergen, additional in vitro and in vivo immunological testing may be warranted.Applying this approach systematically provides reasonable evidence about the potential of a novel protein to act as an allergen.As with the assessment of potential toxicity, the PAT protein is not considered in this assessment of allergenicity as it has been adequately characterised elsewhere ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>Delaney</Author><Year>2008</Year><RecNum>288</RecNum><IDText>Evaluation of protein safety in the context of agricultural biotechnology</IDText><Prefix>see e.g. </Prefix><MDL Ref_Type="Journal"><Ref_Type>Journal</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>288</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Evaluation of protein safety in the context of agricultural biotechnology</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>Delaney,B.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Astwood,J.D.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Cunny,H.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Eichen Conn,R.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Herouet-Guicheney,C.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>MacIntosh,S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Meyer,L.S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Privalle,L.S.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Gao,Y.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Mattsson,J.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>Levine,M.</Authors_Primary><Authors_Primary>ILSI</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2008</Date_Primary><Keywords>Safety</Keywords><Keywords>Proteins</Keywords><Keywords>methods</Keywords><Keywords>Amino Acid Sequence</Keywords><Reprint>In File</Reprint><Start_Page>S71</Start_Page><End_Page>S97</End_Page><Periodical>Food and Chemical Toxicology</Periodical><Volume>46</Volume><Web_URL_Link3><u>file://F:\Risk Assessment - Chemical Safety\GMO - shared\References\GM References\Delaney et al_2008_Protein Safety.pdf</u></Web_URL_Link3><ZZ_JournalFull><f name="System">Food and Chemical Toxicology</f></ZZ_JournalFull><ZZ_WorkformID>1</ZZ_WorkformID></MDL></Cite></Refman>(see e.g. Delaney et al., 2008).

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Thomas et al., 2005; Goodman, 2006). It is a method for comparing the amino acid sequence of the introduced protein with sequences of known allergens in order to indicate potential cross-reactivity between allergenic proteins and the introduced protein. As with the bioinformatic analysis that looked at similarities of the novel proteins with known protein toxins (refer to Section 4.5.2), the generation of an E value provides an important indicator of significance of matches PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPkJheGV2YW5pczwvQXV0aG9yPjxZZWFyPjIwMDU8L1llYXI+

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Pearson, 2000; Baxevanis, 2005).The 2m EPSPS and AAD-12 sequences were compared with all known allergen sequences contained in a reference allergen database (Food Allergy Research and Resource Program - FARRP, version 11 – released in January 2011) using the FASTA algorithm and BLOSUM50 scoring matrix. The criteria used to indicate potential allergenicity in both searches were a minimum of 8-contiguous amino acid identity or 35% identity on a window of 80 amino acids within the sequence of an allergenic protein. No matches were found in either search with known allergenic proteins or with known allergenic epitopes.Neither protein shared a sequence of eight or more consecutive identical amino acids or 35% or greater identity over 80 amino acids with any potential allergens.4.6.3In vitro digestibilityTypically, food proteins that are allergenic tend to be stable to enzymes such as pepsin and the acidic conditions of the digestive system, exposing them to the intestinal mucosa and leading to an allergic response PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPkFzdHdvb2Q8L0F1dGhvcj48WWVhcj4xOTk2PC9ZZWFyPjxS

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Thomas et al., 2004; Herman et al., 2007). As a consequence, one of the criteria for assessing potential allergenicity is to examine the stability of novel proteins in conditions mimicking human digestion.

However, evidence of slow or limited protein digestibility does not necessarily indicate that the protein is allergenic.A pepsin digestibility assay PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPlRob21hczwvQXV0aG9yPjxZZWFyPjIwMDQ8L1llYXI+PFJl

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Thomas et al., 2004) was conducted to determine the digestive stability of the 2m EPSPS and AAD-12 proteins purified from a bacterial system and AAD-12 contained in lyophilized leaf tissue from soybean 44406, using simulated gastric fluid (SGF) ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>U.S.Pharmacopeia</Author><Year>1995</Year><RecNum>277</RecNum><IDText>The United States Pharmacopeia 23.

For AAD-12 the test material was evaluated following incubation in SGF at 37? for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 minutes). For 2m EPSPS, the incubation times were 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 minutes The equivalent of a zero time point was prepared by neutralizing the SGF with sodium carbonate prior to adding the test protein sample. All samples were then run on SDS-PAGE. Proteins were visualised by GelCode Blue staining of the resulting gel. Two control proteins were treated in parallel: bovine serum albumin (BSA) is known to hydrolyse readily in pepsin and served as a positive control; β-lactoglobulin is known to persist in pepsin and was used as a negative control. For the soybean 44406 leaf extract, a further control was tested – leaf extract from ‘Maverick’ spiked with microbial-derived AAD-12. Western blotting of the SDS gels was also performed using an appropriate rabbit polyclonal primary antibody and horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibody.The AAD-12 protein was not detectable after 30 s, while the 2m EPSPS protein was not detectable after 1 min. This indicates that both proteins are readily digested by pepsin under simulated gastric conditions.4.6.4Stability to heatSee Section 4.5.4.4.7ConclusionSoybean line DAS-44406-6 expresses three novel proteins, 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT. Expression analyses of the three proteins showed that all three were detected in the plant parts tested. The 2m EPSPS protein was lowest in the seed (approximately 22 ?g/g dry weight) and highest in V10 – 12 leaves (approximately 2323 ?g/g dry weight). AAD-12 was lowest in the roots (approximately 25 ?g/g dry weight) and highest in V10 – 12 leaves (approximately 116 ?g/g dry weight). PAT protein concentrations were much lower than those for AAD-12 but similarly, the V10 – 12 leaves contained the highest levels (approximately 10 ?g/g dry weight) and the roots contained the lowest levels (approximately 2 ?g/g dry weight). A number of studies were used to confirm the identity and physicochemical properties of the plant-derived 2m EPSPS, AAD-12 and PAT proteins. These studies demonstrated that all three proteins conform in size and amino acid sequence to that expected, and do not exhibit any post-translational modification including glycosylation.In relation to potential toxicity and allergenicity, the PAT protein has previously been demonstrated to be non-toxic to mammals and also does not exhibit any potential to be allergenic to humans. For the 2m EPSPS and AAD-12 proteins, bioinformatic studies confirmed the lack of any significant amino acid sequence similarity to known protein toxins or allergens; digestibility studies suggest the proteins would be rapidly degraded in the stomach following ingestion; and thermolability studies showed that both proteins are inactivated by heating. Taken together, the evidence indicates that neither 2m EPSPS nor AAD-12 are likely to be toxic or allergenic to humans.5.Other novel substancesAs part of the safety assessment it is important to establish whether the expression of a novel protein(s) is likely to result in the accumulation of other novel substances. If such substances are found to occur as a result of the genetic modification, then it is important to determine their potential toxicity.In the case of soybean DAS-44406-6, the metabolic profiles resulting from the novel protein x herbicide interactions have been assessed in previous applications (for 2m EPSPS/glyphosate, see e.g. Application A1051 ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>FSANZ</Author><Year>2011</Year><RecNum>1300</RecNum><IDText>Application A1051 - Food derived from Herbicide-tolerant Soybean Event FG72</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Report"><Ref_Type>Report</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>1300</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Application A1051 - Food derived from Herbicide-tolerant Soybean Event FG72</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>FSANZ</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2011</Date_Primary><Keywords>soybean</Keywords><Reprint>Not in File</Reprint><Publisher>Report prepared by Food Standards Australia New Zealand</Publisher><Web_URL><u>;(FSANZ, 2011b); for AAD-12/2,4-D see Application A1046 ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>FSANZ</Author><Year>2011</Year><RecNum>1292</RecNum><IDText>Application A1046 - Food derived from herbicide-tolerant soybean line DAS-68416-4</IDText><MDL Ref_Type="Report"><Ref_Type>Report</Ref_Type><Ref_ID>1292</Ref_ID><Title_Primary>Application A1046 - Food derived from herbicide-tolerant soybean line DAS-68416-4</Title_Primary><Authors_Primary>FSANZ</Authors_Primary><Date_Primary>2011</Date_Primary><Keywords>soybean</Keywords><Reprint>Not in File</Reprint><Publisher>Report prepared by Food Standards Australia New Zealand</Publisher><Web_URL><u>;(FSANZ, 2011a)) or, in the case of PAT/glufosinate ammonium, have significant history of use. There are no concerns that the spraying of soybean 44406 with glyphosate, 2,4-D or glufosinate ammonium would result in the production of metabolites that are not also produced in crops sprayed with the same herbicides and already used in the food supply.positional analysisThe main purpose of compositional analysis is to determine if any unexpected changes in composition have occurred to the food and to establish its nutritional adequacy. Compositional analysis can also be important for evaluating the intended effect where there has been a deliberate change to the composition of food.The classic approach to the compositional analysis of GM food is a targeted one; rather than analysing every single constituent, which would be impractical, the aim is to analyse only those constituents most relevant to the safety of the food or that may have an impact on the whole diet. Important analytes therefore include the key nutrients, toxicants and anti-nutrients for the food in question. The key nutrients and anti-nutrients are those components in a particular food that may have a substantial impact in the overall diet. They may be major constituents (fats, proteins, carbohydrates or enzyme inhibitors as anti-nutrients) or minor constituents (minerals, vitamins). Key toxicants are those toxicologically significant compounds known to be inherently present in an organism, such as compounds whose toxic potency and level may be significant to health (eg solanine in potatoes). 6.1Key components of soybeanFor soybean intended for human food use, the key components considered important for compositional analysis include the proximates (moisture, crude protein, fat, ash, fibre), amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, isoflavones, phospholipids, sterols, saponins and the anti-nutrients phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors, stachyose, raffinose and lectins, ADDIN REFMGR.CITE <Refman><Cite><Author>OECD</Author><Year>2012</Year><RecNum>1306</RecNum><IDText>Revised consensus document on compositional considerations for new varieties of soybean [Glycine max (L.)

In general, soybean is cultivated for the production of seed, which is used as a source of both human food and animal feed, and is only infrequently used as a forage crop for livestock. As there are no human food products derived from forage, only the results of the compositional analyses for seed and its processed fractions are presented in this report. The compositional analyses for forage yielded comparable results to those obtained for seed. Studies submitted:Lepping, M. (2011).

Nutrient composition of a transformed soybean cultivar containing aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase-12 (AAD-12) double mutant maize EPSPS gene (2mEPSPS) and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) – event DAS-44406-6. Study ID# 101104.03, Dow AgroSciences (unpublished).6.2Study design and conductThe test (DAS-44406-6, seed of T4 lineage), and control (‘Maverick’) lines were grown under similar conditions at 10 field sites across North America during the 2010 growing season. ‘Maverick’ is the original transformed line and therefore represents the isogenic control line for the purposes of the comparative analyses. Six different non-GM soybean lines were also grown under the same conditions in order to generate a reference range for each analyte. The purity and identity of the test, control and reference lines was verified.Five herbicide treatments, at target rates already described in Section 4.3, were applied to soybean 44406, namely: unsprayed; sprayed with 2,4-D (Weedar 64); sprayed with glufosinate (Liberty); sprayed with glyphosate (Durango DMA) and sprayed with 2,4-D + glufosinate + glyphosate. Seeds of the test and control soybean lines were planted in a randomised complete block design, with four replicated plots at each of the 10 sites. The reference lines were randomised across sites in a balanced incomplete-block design.Seed and forage from soybean 44406 and ‘Maverick’ were harvested from all replicated plots and analysed for composition. Forage was collected at the R3 plant growth stage, and seed (R4) was harvested at physiological maturity (refer to Table 3 for reference to growth stages). Methods of composition analysis were based on internationally recognised procedures (e.g. those of the Association of Analytical Communities - AOAC), methods specified by the manufacturer of the equipment used for analysis, or other published methods.Data were transformed into Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) data sets and analysed using SAS version 9.2. A least squares mean (LSM) value was generated and used for each analyte comparison, and standard error and minimum and maximum values were also calculated for each analyte The calculated means are summarised in Tables 4 – 10. Analysis of Variance was used for over-all analysis. The significance of an overall treatment effect was estimated using an F-test, while paired contrasts were made between the unsprayed and each of the 3 sprayed treatments using t-tests. Probability values were adjusted using False Discovery Rate procedures to improve discrimination of true differences PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPkJlbmphbWluaTwvQXV0aG9yPjxZZWFyPjE5OTU8L1llYXI+

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995; OECD, 2012). In assessing the significance of any difference between the mean analyte value for soybean 44406 and ‘Maverick’ a P-value of 0.05 was used. This means that approximately 5% of statistically significant differences are expected to occur due to chance alone.The results for the treatments were compared to:The reference range (min – max) compiled from the results of the six non-GM reference lines, in order to assess whether any differences were likely to be biologically meaningful.A combined literature range for each analyte, compiled from published literature. Any mean value for a soybean 44406 analyte that fell within the combined literature range was considered to be within the normal variability of commercial soybean cultivars even if the mean value was statistically different from the ‘Maverick’ control. It is noted, however, that information in the published literature is limited and is unlikely to provide a broad reflection of the natural diversity that occurs within soybean. Therefore, even if means fall outside the published range, this is not necessarily a concern.6.3Seed composition6.3.1Proximates and fibreResults of the proximate and fibre analysis are shown in Table 4. Significant overall treatment effects were found for protein, carbohydrate and NDF. For carbohydrate, the means for all 44406 treatments were lower than the ‘Maverick’ mean, while for protein and NDF the main contributor to the overall effect came largely from a single treatment. All mean results were within both the reference range and the range reported in the literature.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 4: Mean percentage of proximates and fibre in seed from ‘Maverick’ and DAS-44406-6Analyte‘Mav’44406 no spray44406 + 2,4-D44406 + glufos44406 + glyphos44406 + 3 herbOverall treat effect (P-value)Reference rangeCombined literaturerangeProtein(%dw)37.838.038.538.238.238.620.03935.1 – 44.932 – 48.4Fat(%dw)18.919.519.219.319.219.1NS15.3 – 22.98.1 – 24.7Ash(%dw)5.155.235.245.245.215.22NS4.45 – 6.33.8 – 6.9Moisture(%fw)10.610.210.09.99.99.9NS7.26 – 17.24.7 – 34.4Carbohydrate(%dw)138.1337.237.137.2137.3837.040.00228.7 – 43.029.3 – 50.2Total dietary fibre(%dw)22.421.621.721.521.921.4NS16.2 – 27.7Not reportedADF(%dw)15.515.215.515.015.614.9NS8.02 – 20.97.81 – 26.6NDF(%dw)17.717.017.116.717.316.50.0313.3 – 22.28.53 – 23.91 Carbohydrate calculated as 100% - (protein %dw + fat %dw + ash %dw)2 Mauve shading represents 44406 means where a pairwise contrast t-test showed a significantly lower value than for the control mean (using an adjusted P value), while orange shading represents 44406 means that were significantly higher than the control.6.3.2Fatty acidsThe levels of 22 fatty acids were measured. Of these, the following had > 50% of samples below the limit of quantitation (LOQ) and were therefore not statistically analysed: caprylic (8:0), capric (10:0), lauric (12:0), myristic (14:0), myristoleic (14:1), pentadecanoic (15:0), pentadecanoic (15:1), palmitoleic (16:1), heptadecanoic (17:0), heptadecanoic (17:1), γ-linolenic (18:3), eicosadienoic (20:2), eicosatrienoic (20:3), and arachidonic (20:4). Results for the remaining eight fatty acids are given in Table 5 and can be summarised as follows:There was no significant difference in the combined site analyses between the control and soybean 44406 in terms of the levels of stearic, arachidic and eicosenoic acids.The mean levels of palmitic and oleic acids were significantly lower in all soybean 44406 treatments than in ‘Maverick’ but all means were within both the reference range and the combined literature range.The mean levels of linoleic and linolenic acids were significantly higher in all soybean 44406 treatments than in ‘Maverick’ but all means were within both the reference range and the combined literature range.Overall, the levels of behenic acid in the soybean 44406 treatments were higher than in ‘Maverick’ but in a pairwise contrast (t-test) only the three-herbicide treatment mean was significantly higher than the control mean. All means were within both the reference range and the combined literature range.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 5: Mean percentage composition, relative to total fat, of major fatty acids in seed from 'Maverick' and DAS-44406-6Fatty Acid‘Mav’%total44406 no spray%total44406 + 2,4-D%total44406 + glufos%total44406 + glyphos%total44406 + 3 herb%totalOverall treat effect (P-value)Reference range%totalCombined literaturerange%totalPalmitic (16:0)10.910.7110.710.710.710.6<0.0019.5 – 11.39.5 – 15.7Stearic (18:0)4.514.474.474.484.484.52NS3.28 – 4.982.59 – 5.88Oleic (18:1)23.521.421.521.821.721.9<0.00118.1 – 27.914.3 – 45.6Linoleic (18:2)53.054.854.654.454.554.2<0.00150.1 – 56.735.36 – 58.8Linolenic (18:3)7.327.777.797.867.767.92<0.0014.83 – 9.823 – 12.52Arachidic (20:0)0.3280.3230.3230.3250.3230.327NS0.254 – 0.4270.163 – 0.57Eicosenoic (20:1)0.1690.1710.1710.1710.1720.168NS<LOQ - 0.272<LOQ – 0.35.Behenic (22:0)0.3260.3320.3310.3320.3280.3350.0090.29 – 0.4540.277 – 0.5951 Mauve shading represents 44406 means where a pairwise contrast t-test showed a significantly lower value than for the control mean (using an adjusted P value), while orange shading represents 44406 means that were significantly higher than the control.6.3.3Amino acidsLevels of 18 amino acids were measured. Since asparagine and glutamine are converted to aspartate and glutamate respectively during the analysis, levels for aspartate include both aspartate and asparagine, while glutamate levels include both glutamate and glutamine. Results of the analysis are given in Table 6. Overall, the only significant difference was for cysteine where the pairwise analysis showed three of the 44406 treatment means were significantly higher than the control mean.

The FARRP Allergen Protein Database lists 33 allergenic proteins for soybean. These include the β-conglycinin family of proteins, the glycinin family, the trypsin inhibitor family and other miscellaneous allergens. The major allergens are among the major proteins present in soybean seed.6.5ConclusionThe compositional analyses do not indicate any differences of biological significance between the seed from soybean DAS-44406-6 and the non-GM control ‘Maverick’. Significant differences were noted in a number of constituents. However the differences were typically small and all mean values were within both the tolerance range obtained for non-GM reference varieties grown at the same time and (where it exists) the literature range.Any observed differences are therefore considered to represent the natural variability that exists within soybean. The spraying of soybean line DAS-44406-6 with 2,4-D, glufosinate ammonium and glyphosate, either alone or in combination, did not have a significant effect on seed composition. 7.Nutritional impact In assessing the safety of a GM food, a key factor is the need to establish that the food is nutritionally adequate and will support typical growth and well-being. In most cases, this can be achieved through an understanding of the genetic modification and its consequences, together with an extensive compositional analysis of the food.If the compositional analysis indicates biologically significant changes to the levels of certain nutrients in the GM food, additional nutritional assessment should be undertaken to assess the consequences of the changes and determine whether nutrient intakes are likely to be altered by the introduction of such foods into the food supply. Where a GM food has been shown to be compositionally equivalent to conventional varieties, as is the case for soybean line 44406, the evidence to date indicates that feeding studies using target livestock species will add little value to the safety assessment and generally are not warranted PFJlZm1hbj48Q2l0ZT48QXV0aG9yPk9FQ0Q8L0F1dGhvcj48WWVhcj4yMDAzPC9ZZWFyPjxSZWNO

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (OECD, 2003; EFSA, 2008). Soybean 44406 is the result of a simple genetic modification to confer herbicide tolerance with no intention to significantly alter nutritional parameters in the food. In addition, the extensive compositional analyses of seed that have been undertaken to demonstrate the nutritional adequacy of line 44406, indicate it is equivalent in composition to conventional soybean cultivars. The introduction of soybean line DAS-44406-6 into the food supply is therefore expected to have little nutritional impact.
