Angiosperm plastid genomes typically encode approximately 80 polypeptides, mainly specifying plastid-localized functions such as photosynthesis and gene expression. Plastid protein synthesis and expression of the plastid clpP1 gene are essential for development in tobacco, indicating the presence of one or more plastid genes whose influence extends beyond the plastid compartment. The plastid accD gene encodes the beta-carboxyl transferase subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and is present in the plastids of most flowering plants, including non-photosynthetic parasitic plants. We replaced the wild-type accD gene with an aadA-disrupted mutant allele using homologous recombination. Persistent heteroplasmy in the presence of antibiotics indicated that the wild-type accD allele was essential. The phenotype of the accD knockout was revealed in plastid transformants grown in the absence of antibiotics. Leaves contained pale green sectors and lacked part or all of the leaf lamina due to arrested division or loss of cells. Abnormal structures were present in plastids found in mutant plants, indicating that accD might be required to maintain the plastid compartment. Loss of the plastid compartment would be expected to be lethal. These results provide genetic evidence showing the essential role of plastid ACCase in the pathway leading to the synthesis of products required for the extra-plastidic processes needed for leaf development. 相似文献

The 5' untranslated regions (5'UTR) of mRNA are known to stimulate or inhibit more or less translation. SR alpha, an association of SV40 early gene promoter and of the R region plus the first 39 nucleotides of the U5 region (designated as R) from the human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1) is currently used to stimulate expression of various coding regions. Its effect is considered to take place at the translational level. In all studies published so far, the R region was associated with the promoter and 5'UTR from SV40 early genes. In the present work, the role of SV40 5'UTR and HTLV-1R region was evaluated separately using different promoters, reporter genes and cells. Both SV40 5'UTR (SU) and R region (R) from HTLV-1 stimulated separately the expression of adjacent reporter genes. When associated, the SV40 5'UTR and the R region from HTLV-1 (SUR) were a more potent stimulator of gene expression and their effects were more than additive. This effect was very potent in HeLa and HC11 cells and almost inexistent in CHO and COS 7 cells. It was of various intensity in other cell types including bird and fish cells. The presence of SUR in gene constructs favoured the accumulation of the mRNAs. SUR stimulated gene expression when added between the cap and the initiation codon. Unexpectedly, SUR was never inhibitory. SUR can therefore be considered essentially as potent and specific stimulator of gene expression favoring mRNA accumulation. 相似文献
