Use of lacZ fusions to delimit regulatory elements of the inducible divergent GAL1-GAL10 promoter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 总被引:80,自引:37,他引:43
We present the DNA sequence of a 914-base pair fragment from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that contains the GAL1-GAL10 divergent promoter, 140 base pairs of GAL10 coding sequence, and 87 base pairs of GAL1 coding sequence. From this fragment, we constructed four pairs of GAL1-lacZ and GAL10-lacZ fusions on various types of yeast plasmid vectors. On each type of vector, the fused genes were induced by galactose and repressed by glucose. The response of a GAL1-lacZ fusion to gal4 and gal80 regulatory mutations was similar to the response of intact chromosomal GAL1 and GAL10 genes. A set of deletions that removed various portions of the GAL10 regulatory sequences from a GAL10-CYC1-lacZ fusion was constructed in vitro. These deletions defined a relatively guanine-cytosine-rich region of 45 base pairs that contained sequences necessary for full-strength galactose induction and an adjacent guanine-cytosine rich 55 base pairs that contained sequences sufficient for weak induction. 相似文献

Nucleosome loss activates yeast downstream promoters in vivo 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48

Circular permutation analysis has detected fairly strong sites of intrinsic DNA bending on the promoter regions of the yeast GAL1-10 and GAL80 genes. These bends lie in functionally suggestive locations. On the promoter of the GAL1-10 structural genes, strong bends bracket nucleosome B, which lies between the UAS(G) and the GAL1 TATA. These intrinsic bends could help position nucleosome B. Nucleosome B plus two other promoter nucleosomes protect the TATA and start site elements in the inactive state of expression but are completely disrupted (removed) when GAL1-10 expression is induced. The strongest intrinsic bend ( approximately 70 degrees ) lies at the downstream edge of nucleosome B; this places it approximately 30 base pairs upstream of the GAL1 TATA, a position that could allow it to be involved in GAL1 activation in several ways, including the recruitment of a yeast HMG protein that is required for the normally robust level of GAL1 expression in the induced state (Paull, T., Carey, M., and Johnson, R. (1996) Genes Dev. 10, 2769-2781). On the regulatory gene GAL80, the single bend lies in the non-nucleosomal hypersensitive region, between a GAL80-specific far upstream promoter element and the more gene-proximal promoter elements. GAL80 promoter region nucleosomes contain no intrinsically bent DNA. 相似文献
