Gene structure and expression of a tobacco endochitinase gene in suspension-cultured tobacco cells 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have isolated and characterized the genomic clone CHN50 corresponding to tobacco basic endochitinase (E.C.3.2.1.14). DNA sequence and blotting analysis reveal that the coding sequence of the gene present on CHN50 is identical to that of the cDNA clone pCHN50 and, moreover, the CHN50 gene has its origin in the progenitor of tobacco, Nicotiana sylvestris. Tobacco basic chitinases are encoded by a small gene family that consists of at least two members, the CHN50 gene and a closely related CHN17 gene which was characterized previously. By northern blot analysis, it is shown that the CHN50 gene is highly expressed in suspension-cultured tobacco cells and the mRNA accumulates at late logarithmic growth phase. To identify cis-DNA elements involved in the expression of the CHN50 gene in suspensioncultured cells, the chimeric gene consisting of 1.1 kb CHN50 5 upstream region fused to the coding sequence of -glucuronidase (GUS) was introduced by electroporation into protoplasts isolated from suspension-cultured tobacco cells. Transient GUS activity was found to be dependent on the growth phase of the cultured cells, from which protoplasts had been prepared. Functional analysis of 5 deletions suggests that the distal region between -788 and -345 contains sequences that potentiate the high-level expression in tobacco protoplasts and the region (-68 to -47) proximal to the TATA box functions as a putative silencer. 相似文献

Production of novel transgenic floricultural crops with altered petal properties requires transgenes that confer a useful trait and petal‐specific promoters. Several promoters have been shown to control transgenes in petals. However, all suffer from inherent drawbacks such as low petal specificity and restricted activity during the flowering stage. In addition, the promoters were not examined for their ability to confer petal‐specific expression in a wide range of plant species. Here, we report the promoter of InMYB1 from Japanese morning glory as a novel petal‐specific promoter for molecular breeding of floricultural crops. First, we produced stable InMYB1_1kb::GUS transgenic Arabidopsis and Eustoma plants and characterized spatial and temporal expression patterns under the control of the InMYB1 promoter by histochemical β‐glucuronidase (GUS) staining. GUS staining patterns were observed only in petals. This result showed that the InMYB1 promoter functions as a petal‐specific promoter. Second, we transiently introduced the InMYB1_1 kb::GUS construct into Eustoma, chrysanthemum, carnation, Japanese gentian, stock, rose, dendrobium and lily petals by particle bombardment. GUS staining spots were observed in Eustoma, chrysanthemum, carnation, Japanese gentian and stock. These results showed that the InMYB1 promoter functions in most dicots. Third, to show the InMYB1 promoter utility in molecular breeding, a MIXTA‐like gene function was suppressed or enhanced under the control of InMYB1 promoter in Arabidopsis. The transgenic plant showed a conspicuous morphological change only in the form of wrinkled petals. Based on these results, the InMYB1 promoter can be used as a petal‐specific promoter in molecular breeding of floricultural crops. 相似文献

Locations and sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for tRNAPro(UGG), tRNATrp, tRNAfMet and tRNAGly(GCC): the tRNAGly contains only two base-pairs in the D stem. 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
The nucleotide sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for tRNAPro(UGG), tRNATrp, tRNAfMet and tRNAGly(GCC) have been determined. None of these genes contains an intron. One unusual feature is that the tRNAGly contains only two base-pairs (A-U, G-U) in the D stem. These four tRNA genes were located in the known physical map of tobacco chloroplast DNA. Hybridization analysis to chloroplast tRNA revealed that all four tRNA genes are transcribed in vivo. 相似文献

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tupaia belangeri and the phylogenetic affiliation of scandentia to other eutherian orders 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The complete mitochondrial genome of Tupaia belangeri, a representative of the eutherian order Scandentia, was determined and compared with full-length mitochondrial sequences of other eutherian orders described to date. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16, 754 nt in length, with no obvious deviation from the general organization of the mammalian mitochondrial genome. Thus, features such as start codon usage, incomplete stop codons, and overlapping coding regions, as well as the presence of tandem repeats in the control region, are within the range of mammalian mitochondrial (mt) DNA variation. To address the question of a possible close phylogenetic relationship between primates and Tupaia, the evolutionary affinities among primates, Tupaia and bats as representatives of the Archonta superorder, ferungulates, guinea pigs, armadillos, rats, mice, and hedgehogs were examined on the basis of the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences. The opossum sequence was used as an outgroup. The trees, estimated from 12 concatenated genes encoded on the mitochondrial H-strand, add further molecular evidence against an Archonta monophyly. With the new data described in this paper, most of both the mitochondrial and the nuclear data point away from Scandentia as the closest extant relatives to primates. Instead, the complete mitochondrial data support a clustering of Scandentia with Lagomorpha connecting to the branch leading to ferungulates. This closer phylogenetic relationship of Tupaia to rabbits than to primates first received support from several analyses of nuclear and partial mitochondrial DNA data sets. Given that short sequences are of limited use in determining deep mammalian relationships, the partial mitochondrial data available to date support this hypothesis only tentatively. Our complete mitochondrial genome data therefore add considerably more evidence in support of this hypothesis. 相似文献

A non-uniform equivalent cable model of membrane voltage changes in branching neuronal trees with active ion channels has
been developed. A general branching condition is formulated, extending Rall's 3/2 power rule for passive dendritic trees so
that non-uniform cable segments can be treated. The theoretical results support the use of the dendritic profile model of
Clements and Redman. The theory is then applied to dendrites of different morphological type yielding qualitative different
response behaviour.

A tobacco chloroplast DNA sequence possibly coding for a polypeptide similar to E. coli RNA polymerase beta-subunit 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
DNA sequencing has revealed a long open reading frame (ORF) in the large single-copy region of tobacco chloroplast DNA. This ORF consists of 1070 codons and its deduced amino acid sequence shows about 39% homology to that of the beta-subunit of E. coli RNA polymerase. This finding raises a possibility that some of the chloroplast RNA polymerase subunits are coded for by the chloroplast genome. 相似文献
