We describe 2 methods for extraction of DNA-binding proteins from root-knot nematode feeding sites (ie, galls). DNA-binding
activity was assayed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays using fragments from the root-knot nematode-responsiveLEMMI9 and 35S promoters. In noninfected tissue, the method based on nuclei enrichment through a Percoll cushion was superior for
isolation of DNA-protein binding activity with both promoters. With infected roots; the method based on crude extracts performed
better with theLEMMI9 promoter, whereas nuclei-enriched extracts worked better with the 35S promoter. Therefore, both methods can be used to extract
proteins for DNA-binding assays from infected roots, but the method of choice may depend on the promoter under study.

Phosphate (Pi) deficiency is a major nutritional problem faced by plants in many agro-ecosystems. This deficiency results in altered gene expression leading to physiological and morphological changes in plants. Altered gene expression is presumed to be due to interaction of regulatory sequences (cis-elements) present in the promoters with DNA binding factors (trans-factors). In this study, we analyzed the expression and DNA-protein interaction of promoter regions of Pi starvation-induced genes AtPT2 and TPSI1. AtPT2 encodes the high-affinity Pi transporter in Arabidopsis, whereas TPSI1 codes for a novel gene induced in the Pi-starved tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). Expression of AtPT2 was induced rapidly under Pi deficiency and increased with decreasing concentrations of Pi. Abiotic stresses except Pi starvation had no affect on the expression of TPSI1. DNA mobility-shift assays indicated that specific sequences of AtPT2 and TPSI1 promoter interact with nuclear protein factors. Two regions of AtPT2 and TPSI1 promoters specifically bound nuclear protein factors from Pi-sufficient plants. Interestingly, the DNA binding activity disappeared during Pi starvation, leading to the hypothesis that Pi starvation-induced genes may be under negative regulation. 相似文献

Summary A 216 by promoter fragment of the 19 kDa protein zein gene pMS1, containing the CCAAT and TATA boxes, was analysed by a variety of techniques for in vitro interactions with nuclear proteins from endosperm tissue. HMG proteins were found to form stable complexes with these A/T-rich promoter sequences and several specific DNA-binding proteins appear to be involved in the formation of DNA-protein complexes with this fragment. A 29 bp region spanning the two CCAAT boxes was protected from DNase I digestion in footprinting experiments. 相似文献

The karyopherin alpha1 (LeKAPalpha 1) gene of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) encodes a receptor involved in nuclear import. To analyze the expression pattern of this gene, a genomic clone containing its upstream region was isolated and sequenced. To study the promoter functionality, a 2170 bp fragment (LM1), was fused to glucuronidase (GUS) and introduced into petunia cells by particle bombardment. For further characterization of the promoter, one inverse and three deletion constructs were studied in cell suspension. To follow its expression in tobacco leaves, transgenic plants expressing GUS under the control of the LM1 promoter were made. Expression of LM1-GUS was largely restricted to actively growing leaf regions, suggesting possible involvement of active cell division and plant growth regulators in LeKAPalpha 1 expression. 相似文献

Light-regulated and cell-specific expression of tomato rbcS-gusA and rice rbcS-gusA fusion genes in transgenic rice. 总被引:11,自引:4,他引:7 下载免费PDF全文
A previously isolated rice (Oryza sativa) rbcS gene was further characterized. This analysis revealed specific sequences in the 5' regulatory region of the rice rbcS gene that are conserved in rbcS genes of other monocotyledonous species. In transgenic rice plants, we examined the expression of the beta-glucuronidase (gusA) reporter gene directed by the 2.8-kb promoter region of the rice rbcS gene. To examine differences in the regulation of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous rbcS promoters, the activity of a tomato rbcS promoter was also investigated in transgenic rice plants. Our results indicated that both rice and tomato rbcS promoters confer mesophyll-specific expression of the gusA reporter gene in transgenic rice plants and that this expression is induced by light. However, the expression level of the rice rbcS-gusA gene was higher than that of the tomato rbcS-gusA gene, suggesting the presence of quantitative differences in the activity of these particular monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous rbcS promoters in transgenic rice. Histochemical analysis of rbcS-gusA gene expression showed that the observed light induction was only found in mesophyll cells. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the light regulation of rice rbcS-gusA gene expression was primarily at the level of mRNA accumulation. We show that the rice rbcS gene promoter should be useful for expression of agronomically important genes for genetic engineering of monocotyledonous species. 相似文献
