We have previously characterized the constitutively active promoters of the APX, PGD1 and R1G1B genes in rice (Park et al. 2010 in J Exp Bot 61:2459–2467). To have potential crop biotechnology applications, gene promoters must be stably active over many generations. In our current study, we report our further detailed analysis of the APX, PGD1 and R1G1B gene promoters in various organs and tissues of transgenic rice plants for three (T3–5) homozygous generations. The copy numbers in 37 transgenic lines that harbor promoter:gfp constructs were determined and promoter activities were measured by real-time qPCR. Analysis of the 37 lines revealed that 15 contained a single copy of one of the three promoter:gfp chimeric constructs. The promoter activity levels were generally higher in multi-copy lines, whereas variations in these levels over the T3–5 generations studied were observed to be smaller in single-copy than in multi-copy lines. The three promoters were further found to be highly active in the whole plant body at both the vegetative and reproductive stages of plant growth, with the exception of the APX in the ovary and R1G1B in the pistil and filaments where zero or very low levels of activity were detected. Of note, the spatial activities of the PGD1 promoter were found to be strikingly similar to those of the ZmUbi1, a widely used constitutive promoter. Our comparison of promoter activities between T3, T4 and T5 plants revealed that the APX, PGD1 and R1G1B promoters maintained their activities at comparable levels in leaves and roots over three homozygous generations and are therefore potentially viable alternative promoters for crop biotechnology applications. 相似文献

Comparative functional analysis of three abiotic stress-inducible promoters in transgenic rice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To identify minimal effective promoters for driving abiotic stress-inducible transgene expression in rice, we selected promoter
elements of three stress-responsive genes, viz. rab16A coding for dehydrin, OsABA2 coding for zeaxanthin epoxidase, and a gene coding for a hypothetical protein (HP1) based on the presence of ABA-, salt-
and drought-responsive cis-acting elements. These were translationally fused to the gusA reporter gene and introduced into rice to study their effect on heterologous gene expression. The OsABA2 promoter was found
to be the most effective and desirable promoter among the three in terms of driving a low constitutive transgene expression
under normal conditions and high induction in response to ABA, salt and drought stress, the highest being a 12-fold induction
in response to ABA. The rab16A and HP1 promoters resulted in high levels of constitutive expression. While induction of GUS
activity was generally two- to threefold for all the treatments in roots for both the promoters, induction in leaves was generally
insignificant, the exceptions being rab16A in response to continuous salt stress and HP1 in response to water deficit. It
was also observed that the three promoters, in general, resulted in lower constitutive expression, but higher induction in
roots as compared to leaves.

Identification and characterization of plant promoters from wild rice genotypes showing inducible expression under soil water stress (SWS) is desirable for transgene expression to generate stress tolerant rice cultivars. A comparative expression profiling of Wsi18, a group 3 LEA gene, revealed differential response under SWS conditions between modern cultivated rice (IR20) and its wild progenitor (Oryza nivara). Wsi18 promoter from O. nivara showed enhanced inducible expression of the reporter gusA gene, encoding β-glucuronidase, in transgenic rice plants in comparison to similar promoter from IR20. Deletion analysis unravelled the cis-acting regulatory elements minimally required for optimal expression of Wsi18 promoter from O. nivara under SWS condition. This is the first report of characterization of an inducible promoter from a wild rice genotype to drive the gene expression under water stress conditions. The Wsi18 promoter element from the wild rice genotype can be used in future genetic manipulation strategies for the generation of SWS tolerant rice cultivars with improved yield characteristics. 相似文献

The GT‐1 cis‐element widely exists in many plant gene promoters. However, the molecular mechanism that underlies the response of the GT‐1 cis‐element to abiotic and biotic stresses remains elusive in rice. We previously isolated a rice short‐chain peptide‐encoding gene, Os2H16, and demonstrated that it plays important roles in both disease resistance and drought tolerance. Here, we conducted a promoter assay of Os2H16 and identified GT‐1 as an important cis‐element that mediates Os2H16 expression in response to pathogen attack and osmotic stress. Using the repeated GT‐1 as bait, we characterized an abscisic acid, stress and ripening 2 (ASR2) protein from yeast‐one hybridization screening. Sequence alignments showed that the carboxy‐terminal domain of OsASR2 containing residues 80–138 was the DNA‐binding domain. Furthermore, we identified that OsASR2 was specifically bound to GT‐1 and activated the expression of the target gene Os2H16, as well as GFP driven by the chimeric promoter of 2 × GT‐1‐35S mini construct. Additionally, the expression of OsASR2 was elevated by pathogens and osmotic stress challenges. Overexpression of OsASR2 enhanced the resistance against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani, and tolerance to drought in rice. These results suggest that the interaction between OsASR2 and GT‐1 plays an important role in the crosstalk of the response of rice to biotic and abiotic stresses. 相似文献

Dehydration-responsive-element-binding protein 1 genes have important roles in response to stress. To improve the drought tolerance of an upland rice cultivar NERICA1, we introduced Arabidopsis AtDREB1C or rice OsDREB1B driven by a stress-inducible rice lip9 promoter. Plants of some transgenic lines survived better than non-transgenic plants under severe drought. AtDREB1C transgenic plants had higher dry weights than non-transgenic plants when grown under moderate drought until the late vegetative growth stage. On the other hand, OsDREB1B transgenic plants had lower dry weights than non-transgenic plants under the same condition. Similar results were obtained under osmotic stress. The AtDREB1C transgenic plants headed earlier, had a larger sink capacity, and had more filled grains than non-transgenic plants. These results suggest that AtDREB1C expressed in NERICA1 improves not only survival under severe drought, but also growth and yield under moderate drought. 相似文献

Background
Fumonisin B1 is a cancerogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides and other fungi. Sphingopyxis sp. MTA144 can degrade fumonisin B1, and a key enzyme in the catabolic pathway is an aminotransferase which removes the C2-amino group from hydrolyzed fumonisin B1. In order to study this aminotransferase with respect to a possible future application in enzymatic fumonisin detoxification, we attempted expression of the corresponding fumI gene in E. coli and purification of the enzyme. Since the aminotransferase initially accumulated in inclusion bodies, we compared the effects of induction level, host strain, expression temperature, solubility enhancers and a fusion partner on enzyme solubility and activity. 相似文献15.
Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are encoded by a multigene family and support physiological functions,
which remain unclear. We adapted an efficient ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LM-PCR) procedure that enabled
isolation of 22 novel Triticum
aestivum
nsLtp (TaLtp) genes encoding types 1 and 2 nsLTPs. A phylogenetic tree clustered the wheat nsLTPs into ten subfamilies comprising 1–7
members. We also studied the activity of four type 1 and two type 2 TaLtp gene promoters in transgenic rice using the β-Glucuronidase reporter gene. The activities of the six promoters displayed
both overlapping and distinct features in rice. In vegetative organs, these promoters were active in leaves and root vascular
tissues while no β-Glucuronidase (GUS) activity was detected in stems. In flowers, the GUS activity driven by the TaLtp7.2a, TaLtp9.1a, TaLtp9.2d, and TaLtp9.3e gene promoters was associated with vascular tissues in glumes and in the extremities of anther filaments whereas only the
TaLtp9.4a gene promoter was active in anther epidermal cells. In developing grains, GUS activity and GUS immunolocalization data evidenced
complex patterns of activity of the TaLtp7.1a, TaLtp9.2d, and TaLtp9.4a gene promoters in embryo scutellum and in the grain epicarp cell layer. In contrast, GUS activity driven by TaLtp7.2a, TaLtp9.1a, and TaLtp9.3e promoters was restricted to the vascular bundle of the embryo scutellum. This diversity of TaLtp gene promoter activity supports the hypothesis that the encoded TaLTPs possess distinct functions in planta. 相似文献

Magnaporthe oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani, are among the most important pathogens of rice, severely limiting its productivity. Dm-AMP1, an antifungal plant defensin from Dahlia merckii, was expressed in rice (Oryza sativa L. sp. indica cv. Pusa basmati 1) using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Expression levels of Dm-AMP1 ranged from 0.43% to 0.57% of total soluble protein in transgenic plants. It was observed that constitutive expression of
Dm-AMP1 suppresses the growth of M. oryzae and R. solani by 84% and 72%, respectively. Transgenic expression of Dm-AMP1 was not accompanied by an induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression, indicating that the expression of DmAMP1
directly inhibits the pathogen. The results of in vitro, in planta and microscopic analyses suggest that Dm-AMP1 expression has the potential to provide broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice. 相似文献

A central function of the Drosophila salivary glands (SGs), historically known for their polytene chromosomes, is to produce and then release during pupariation the secretory glue used to affix a newly formed puparium to a substrate. This essential event in the life history of Drosophila is regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone in the late‐larval period. Ecdysone triggers a cascade of sequential gene activation that leads to glue secretion and initiates the developmentally‐regulated programmed cell death (PCD) of the larval salivary glands, which culminates 16 h after puparium formation (APF). We demonstrate here that, even after the larval salivary glands have completed what is perceived to be one of their major biological functions – glue secretion during pupariation – they remain dynamic and physiologically active up until the execution phase of PCD. We have used specific metabolic inhibitors and genetic tools, including mutations or transgenes for shi, Rab5, Rab11, vha55, vha68‐2, vha36‐1, syx1A, syx4, and Vps35 to characterize the dramatic series of cellular changes occurring in the SG cells between pupariation and 7–8 h APF. Early in the prepupal period, they are remarkably active in endocytosis, forming acidic vacuoles. Midway through the prepupal period, there is abundant late endosomal trafficking and vacuole growth, which is followed later by vacuole neutralization and disappearance via membrane consolidation. This work provides new insights into the function of Drosophila SGs during the early‐ to mid‐prepupal period. 相似文献

Alternate promoters direct stress-induced transcription of the Bacillus subtilis clpC operon 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
clpC ofBacillus subtilis is part of an operon containing six genes. Northern blot analysis suggested that all genes are co-transcribed and encode stress-inducible proteins. Two promoters (PA and PB) were mapped upstream of the first gene. PA resembles promoters recognized by the vegetative RNA polymerase EσA. The other promoter (PB) was shown to be dependent on σB, the general stress σ factor in B. subtilis, suggesting that clpC, a potential chaperone, is expressed in a σB-dependent manner. This is the first evidence that σB in B, subtilis is involved in controlling the expression of a gene whose counterpart, clpB, is subject to regulation by σ32 in Escherichia coli, indicating a new function of σB-dependent general stress proteins. PB deviated from the consensus sequence of σB promoters and was only slightly induced by starvation conditions. Nevertheless, strong induction by heat, ethanol, and salt stress occurred at the σB-dependent promoter, whereas the vegetative promoter was only weakly induced under these conditions. However, in a sigB mutant, the σA-like promoter became inducible by heat and ethanol stress, completely compensating for sigB deficiency. Only the downstream σA-like promoter was induced by certain stress conditions such as hydrogen peroxide or puromycin. These results suggest that novel stress-induction mechanisms are acting at a vegetative promoter. Involvement of additional elements in this mode of induction are discussed. 相似文献

Induction and expression of seed-specific promoters in Arabidopsis embryo-defective mutants 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

In order to assess the importance of morphogenesis on the induction of promoter markers for storage and Lea programmes, advantage was taken of the emb mutations producing embryos arrested at a wide range of developmental stages in Arabidopsis. These embryos are viable during their stage of developmental arrest and continue to divide further, but apparently without further differentiation into the main organs and tissues of the normal embryos. Eight independent emb mutants arrested in their development prior to the cotyledon stage were selected. These emb embryos lack the normal morphology of the wild-type embryos when the synthesis of storage and Lea proteins are normally initiated. The 2S1-uidA chimeric gene, representative of the maturation programme and the Em 1-uidA chimeric gene, representative of the desiccation programme were introduced by crosses into the emb background. In the eight emb lines, the expression of the GUS reporter gene directed by the 2S1 and Em 1 promoters was observed in the aborted seeds irrespective of their stage of developmental arrest. The time of induction of the expression of both promoters was the same in the arrested embryos as compared with the normal embryos within the same silique. Thus, the activation of these two promoters is triggered by the same signal and can occur in the absence of morphogenesis. However, in the absence of normal organ formation, the expression of the reporter gene under the control of the 2S1 and Em 1 promoters was evident throughout the whole seed tissues. In normal seed development, the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) activates the promoters of the 2S1 and Em 1 genes. One of the important members of the signal transduction pathway of ABA is the ABI3 protein. It has been shown previously that this protein is a prerequisite for the induction of Em 1 by ABA in seeds. A good correlation with the expression of the ABI3 promoter and the 2S1 and Em 1 promoters was found in emb seeds tissues. This observation suggests that the promoters of the 2S1 and the Em 1 genes are expressed in the mutant seeds not at a basal level, but are probably induced by ABA, as in normal seed development. 相似文献
