Abstract Using promoter-probe plasmids, more than 200 promoter-containing fragments from Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis were cloned in B. subtilis . Among these, 15 promoter fragments were highly temperature-dependent in activity compared to the promoter sequence (TTGAAA for the −35 region, TATAAT for the −10 region) of the amylase gene, amyT , from B. stearothermophilus . Some fragments exhibited higher promoter activities at elevated temperature (48°C), others showed higher activities at lower temperature (30°C). Active promoter fragments at higher and lower temperatures were obtained mainly from the thermophile ( B. stearothermophilus ) and the mesophile ( B. subtilis ), respectively. A promoter fragment active at high temperature was sequenced, and the feature of the putative promoter region was discussed.  相似文献

Regulatory elements within the promoter of the pollen-specific NTP303 gene from tobacco were analysed by transient and stable expression analyses. Analysis of precisely targeted mutations showed that the NTP303 promoter is not regulated by any of the previously described pollen-specific cis -regulatory elements. However, two adjacent regions from −103 to −86 bp and from −86 to −59 bp were shown to contain sequences which positively regulated the NTP303 promoter. Both of these regions were capable of driving pollen-specific expression from a heterologous promoter, independent of orientation and in an additive manner. The boundaries of the minimal, functional NTP303 promoter were determined to lie within the region −86 to −51 bp. The sequence AAATGA localized from −94 to −89 bp was identified as a novel cis -acting element, of which the TGA triplet was shown to comprise an active part. This element was shown to be completely conserved in the similarly regulated promoter of the Bp10 gene from Brassica napus encoding a homologue of the NTP303 gene.  相似文献

σ32 controls expression of heat shock genes in Escherichia coli and is widely distributed in proteobacteria. The distinguishing feature of σ32 promoters is a long −10 region (CCCCATNT) whose tetra-C motif is important for promoter activity. Using alanine-scanning mutagenesis of σ32 and in vivo and in vitro assays, we identified promoter recognition determinants of this motif. The most downstream C (−13) is part of the −10 motif; our work confirms and extends recognition determinants of −13C. Most importantly, our work suggests that the two upstream Cs (−16, −15) constitute an 'extended −10' recognition motif that is recognized by K130, a residue universally conserved in β- and γ-proteobacteria. This residue is located in the α-helix of σDomain 3 that mediates recognition of the extended −10 promoter motif in other σs. K130 is not conserved in α- and δ-/ε-proteobacteria and we found that σ32 from the α-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus does not need the extended −10 motif for high promoter activity. This result supports the idea that K130 mediates extended −10 recognition. σ32 is the first Group 3 σ shown to use the 'extended −10' recognition motif.  相似文献

Abstract The complete sequence of the plasmid pHly152-encoded hemolysin ( hly ) determinant of Escherichia coli is presented and compared with a recently sequenced chromosomal hly determinant [1]. High sequence homology between the two hly determinants is observed withìn all four structural genes, hlyC, A, B and D , but little sequence similarities are found in the 3'- and 5'-noncoding flanking regions. In addition, the noncoding region upstream of hlyC which carries the promoter for hlyC, A and B , was sequenced for several chromosomal hly determinants. The comparison of these sequences indicates three distinct classes of promoter regions which share common putative −10 and −35 boxes at roughly the same location relative to the start of hlyC .  相似文献
