Expression of chalcone synthase (CHS), the first enzyme in the flavonoid branch of the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway in plants, is induced by developmental cues and environmental stimuli. We used plant transformation technology to delineate the functional structure of the French bean CHS15 gene promoter during plant development. In the absence of an efficient transformation procedure for bean, Nicotiana tabacum was used as the model plant. CHS15 promoter activity, evaluated by measurements of -d-glucuronidase (GUS) activity, revealed a tissue-specific pattern of expression similar to that reported for CHS genes in bean. GUS activity was observed in flowers and root tips. Floral expression was confined to the pigmented part of petals and was induced in a transient fashion. Fine mapping of promoter cis-elements was accomplished using a set of promoter mutants generated by unidirectional deletions or by site-directed mutagenesis. Maximal floral and root-specific expression was found to require sequence elements located on both sides of the TATA-box. Two adjacent sequence motifs, the G-box (CACGTG) and H-box (CCTACC(N)7CT) located near the TATA-box, were both essential for floral expression, and were also found to be important for root-specific expression. The CHS15 promoter is regulated by a complex interplay between different cis-elements and their cognate factors. The conservation of both the G-box and H-box in different CHS promoters emphasizes their importance as regulatory motifs. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis gene encoding the key flavonoid biosynthesis enzyme chalcone synthase (CHS) is regulated by several environmental and endogenous stimuli. Here we dissect the network of light signalling pathways that control CHS expression in mature leaves using cryptochrome (cry) and phytochrome (phy) deficient mutants. The UV-A/blue light induction of CHS is mediated principally by cry1, but neither cry1 nor cry2 is involved in UV-B induction or in the UV-A and blue light signalling pathways that interact synergistically with the UV-B pathway to enhance CHS expression. Moreover, these synergistic responses do not require phyA or phyB. Phytochrome is a positive regulator of the cry1 inductive pathway, mediating distinct potentiation and coaction effects. A red light pretreatment enhances subsequent cry1-mediated CHS induction. This potentiation is unaltered in phyA and phyB mutants but much reduced in a phyA phyB double mutant, indicating that it requires principally phyA or phyB. In contrast, the cry1-mediated induction of CHS, without pretreatment, is much reduced in phyB but not phyA mutants, indicating coaction between cry1 and phyB. Further experiments with phy-deficient mutants demonstrate that phyB is a negative regulator of the UV-B inductive pathway. We further show that phyB acts upstream of the points of interaction of the UV-A and blue synergism pathways with the UV-B pathway. We propose that phyB functions to balance flux through the cry1 and UV-B signalling pathways. 相似文献

We have combined in vivo genomic footprinting and light-induced transient expression of chalcone synthase promoter derivatives in parsley protoplasts to identify cis sequences regulating light activation. The parsley chalcone synthase promoter contains two cis "units" that are light-responsive. Each unit is composed of short DNA stretches of approximately 50 base pairs, and each contains two in vivo footprints. One of the footprints in each unit covers a sequence that is highly conserved among other light- and stress-regulated plant genes. The other footprinted sequences in each unit are not related to each other. The TATA distal light-responsive unit is inherently weak but can compensate partially for the loss of the stronger TATA proximal unit. Levels of light-induced expression from either can be influenced by the presence of a region of approximately 100 base pairs located upstream of the TATA distal light-responsive unit. Combination of the light-responsive units and upstream region generates a synergistic response to light. We speculate that functional compensation generated by nonidentical, but sequence-related, cis units foreshadows combinatorial diversity of cognate trans factors. 相似文献

The photocontrol of chalcone synthase gene expression was studied by means of promoter analyses, in vitro systems, photoreceptor mutants and microinjections, and pharmacological approaches. A 52 bp element of the promoter is necessary and sufficient to transfer light regulation. Chalcone synthase expression is primarily under the control of phyA and blue/UV photo receptors; the latter are functional even in the absence of phyA and phyB. Phytochromes seem to be soluble proteins and, within seconds of irradiation, light-dependent phosphorrylations were observed in membrane-depleted cytosol preparations, indicating very early processes of signal transduction. Microinjection and pharmacological experiments reveal that, in the phyA pathway, heterotrimeric G-proteins, cGMP and a genistein-sensitive protein kinase are involved, whereas the UV pathway includes several trimeric G-proteins and Ca/calmodulin-dependent steps. 相似文献

Regulatory properties of a 1.4-kilobase promoter fragment of the bean chalcone synthase CHS8 gene were examined by analysis of glucuronidase (GUS) activity in transgenic tobacco containing a CHS8-GUS gene fusion. The promoter was highly active in the root apical meristem and in petals, exclusively in those cells of the inner epidermis that accumulate anthocyanins. The gene fusion was only weakly expressed in other floral organs, mature leaves, and stems. The early stages of seedling development were characterized by an apparent wound induction of the promoter in the endosperm and strong expression in the immature root, which became localized to the apical meristem and perivascular tissue at the root-hypocotyl junction. The promoter became active during lateral root formation in both the new root and damaged tissue of the main root. The gene fusion was also expressed in greening cotyledons and primary leaves but not in the shoot apical meristem. Light modulated expression in the cotyledons and root-shoot junction but had no effect on other aspects of the developmental program. Wounding or fungal elicitor treatment of mature leaves activated the promoter in a well-defined zone adjacent to the stress site. Stress induction occurred in mesophyll and vascular tissues as well as in the epidermis. We conclude that the CHS8 promoter contains cis-elements required to establish temporal and spatial control of flavonoid biosynthesis during development and in response to diverse environmental stimuli. 相似文献

Promoter analysis of the chalcone synthase (chsA) gene of Petunia hybrida: a 67 bp promoter region directs flower-specific expression 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

In order to scan the 5 flanking region of the chalcone synthase (chs A) gene for regulatory sequences involved in directing flower-specific and UV-inducible expression, a chimaeric gene was constructed containing the chs A promoter of Petunia hybrida (V30), the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (cat) structural sequence as a reporter gene and the chs A terminator region of Petunia hybrida (V30). This chimaeric gene and 5 end deletions thereof were introduced into Petunia plants with the help of Ti plasmid-derived plant vectors and CAT activity was measured. A 220 bp chs A promoter fragment contains cis-acting elements conferring flower-specific and UV-inducible expression. A promoter fragment from –67 to +1, although at a low level, was still able to direct flower-specific expression but could not drive UV-inducible expression in transgenic Petunia seedlings. Molecular analysis of binding of flower nuclear proteins to chs A promoter fragments by gel retardation assays showed strong specific binding to the sequences from –142 to +81. Promoter sequence comparison of chs genes from other plant species, combined with the deletion analysis and gel retardation assays, strongly suggests the involvement of the TACPyAT repeats (–59 and –52) in the regulation of organ-specificity of the chs A gene in Petunia hybrida. We also describe an in vitro organ-specific transient expression system, in which flower or purple callus protoplasts are used, that enables us to pre-screen organ-specific expression of a chimaeric reporter gene. 相似文献

Differential usage of photoreceptors for chalcone synthase gene expression during plant development 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Photoregulation of chalcone synthase (CHS) mRNA accumulation was analysed in parsley (Petroselinum crispum) and mustard (Sinapis alba) plants at different developmental stages. In both species, CHS mRNA accumulation in young etiolated seedlings was primarily under phytochrome control. In leaves of adult re-etiolated plants, a UV-B photoreceptor was predominantly involved in photocontrol. The reduced red light control in mature leaves was not due to the absence of immunoreactive phytochrome. The apparent dependence of photoreceptor usage on the developmental state of the cell or organism was in accordance with observations on the photoregulation of fusion constructs between CHS promoters from parsley or mustard and the β-glucuronidase reporter gene (GUS). When tested in the parsley protoplast transient expression system, both constructs yielded the same type of photoregulation as observed for the endogenous CHS gene. 相似文献

Low temperature enhances petunia flower pigmentation and induces chalcone synthase gene expression 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Flower coloration is controlled by internal and external factors, including temperature. The aim of the present work was to examine the effect of temperature on anthocyanin synthesis and chalcone synthase gene ( chs ) expression in petunia flowers. A moderate-low temperature enhanced both anthocyanin accumulation and chs expression in the corollas. However, the effect on chs expression was not always correlated with that on anthocyanin content, suggesting a post-translational effect. The effect was local and required the exposure of corollas, but not the whole plant, to the ambient temperature. The response of chs to moderate-low temperatures did not coincide with its expression during flower development. Moderate-low temperatures only slightly affected gibberellic acid (GA3 )-induced chs expression in the light, but activated chs expression under non-inducing conditions, i.e. in the absence of GA3 in the dark. The results of this study suggest that moderate-low temperatures do not simply enhance the developmental regulation of anthocyanin biosynthetic gene expression; they act as a specific and separate signal. 相似文献
