OsGSTL1 gene was isolated from the rice genomic library. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the expression of the OsGSTL1 in rice was not induced by chlorsulfuron, ethylene, abscisic acid, salicylic acid, and methyl jasmonate. In order to investigate the cis-elements of OsGSTL1 promoter, the promoter regions with different lengths were fused to the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. All constructs were transformed into onion epidermal cells or A. thaliana plants to detect the expression patterns. In onion epidermal cells, the 160 bp fragment and longer ones were functional for directing GUS expression. In transgenic A. thaliana, the 2?155 bp upstream region of OsGSTL1 gene directed the GUS expression only in cotyledon after germination, but not in the root of young seedlings. In the later seedling, the 2?155 bp upstream region of OsGSTL1 gene directed GUS expression in roots, stems, and leaves. However, the GUS gene directed by a 1?224 bp upstream fragment is expressed in all the checked tissues. These results suggest that the spatiotemporal expression response elements of OsGSTL1 existed in the 5′-upstream region between −2?155 and −1?224 bp. 相似文献

To investigate the sequences responsible for the regulated expression of tapetal-specific oleosin-like genes, ca. 2 kb of the 5-upstream regions from two divergent genes, OlnB;4 and OlnB;13, were isolated, sequenced and fused to the reporter gene -glucuronidase for study in transgenic Brassica napus plants. Although the proteins encoded by these two genes are highly divergent, except for the conserved oleosin-like domain, the first 250 bp of their 5-upstream regions was 86% identical, including a region of 150 bp upstream from the TATA box. Analysis of 42 independent transformants by histochemical and fluorometric methods showed that both promoters directed tapetal-specific expression that peaked at the 4 mm flower bud stage. 相似文献

Cotton α-Globulin Promoter: Isolation and Functional Characterization in Transgenic Cotton,Arabidopsis, and Tobacco 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Globulins are the most abundant seed storage proteins in cotton and, therefore, their regulatory sequences could potentially provide a good source of seed-specific promoters. We isolated the putative promoter region of cotton -globulin B gene by gene walking using the primers designed from a cotton staged embryo cDNA clone. PCR amplified fragment of 1108 bp upstream sequences was fused to gusA gene in the binary vector pBI101.3 to create the test construct. This was used to study the expression pattern of the putative promoter region in transgenic cotton, Arabidopsis, and tobacco. Histochemical GUS analysis revealed that the promoter began to express during the torpedo stage of seed development in tobacco and Arabidopsis, and during cotyledon expansion stage in cotton. The activity quickly increased until embryo maturation in all three species. Fluorometric GUS analysis showed that the promoter expression started at 12 and 15 dpa in tobacco and cotton, respectively, and increased through seed maturation. The strength of the promoter expression, as reflected by average GUS activity in the seeds from primary transgenic plants, was vastly different amongst the three species tested. In Arabidopsis, the activity was 16.7% and in tobacco it was less than 1% of the levels detected in cotton seeds. In germinating seedlings of tobacco and Arabidopsis, GUS activity diminished until it was completely absent 10 days post imbibition. In addition, absence of detectable level of GUS expression in stem, leaf, root, pollen, and floral bud of transgenic cotton confirmed that the promoter is highly seed-specific. Analysis of GUS activity at individual seed level in cotton showed a gene dose effect reflecting their homozygous or hemizygous status. Our results show that this promoter is highly tissue-specific and it can be used to control transgene expression in dicot seeds. 相似文献

A 318 bp mannopine synthase 2 (mas2) promoter element from the T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens can direct wound-inducible and root-preferential expression of a linked uidA gene in transgenic tobacco plants. Wound inducibility is further enhanced by sucrose in the medium. Promoter deletion analysis indicated that the sucrose enhancement is conferred by a region extending from –318 to –213. DNase I footprinting indicated that an A/T-rich DNA sequence in this region is protected by tobacco nuclear factors. Regions extending from –103 to +66 and from –213 to –138 directed wound-inducibile expression of a linked uidA gene when placed downstream of a CaMV 35S enhancer or upstream of a truncated (–209) CaMV 35S promoter, respectively. DNase I footprinting analyses indicated that proteins from wounded tobacco leaves specifically bound to three contiguous motifs downstream of the mas2 TATA box. In addition to a common retarded band formed by the upstream wound-responsive element complexed with proteins from either wounded or unwounded tobacco leaves, two unique retarded bands were observed when this element was incubated with protein from wounded leaves. Methylation interference analysis additionally identified an unique motif composed of promoter elements and nuclear factors derived specifically from wounded tobacco leaves. We propose a model to describe the involvement of nuclear factors with mas2 promoter elements in wound-inducible gene expression. 相似文献

A 114-basepair fragment at 5′-upstream of the gene oee2-A from Nicotiana tabacum encoding the 23kD polypeptide of oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II was found, through database search, to have high sequence similarity with segments in the mitochondrial genome of Oenothera, watermelon and wheat. This observation is supported by the Southern hybridization data. Repeated sequences were also found in the nuclear-mitochondrial homologous region, However, the function of these repeats is yet to be determined. 相似文献

The most important enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL), is encoded by several homologous genes including 4CL1. The 4CL1 promoter is a tissue-specific gene expression element, particularly active in the secondary xylem or older stems. In this study, the 1127 bp 5′- upstream region of the 4CL1 coding sequence from Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Euc4CL1, was isolated and characterized. Essential putative cis-elements in the Euc4CL1 promoter included: a TATA-box at ?22/?28 position, two CCAAT-boxes at ?256/?260 and ?277/?281 positions, respectively, an AC-element at ?328/?336 and A-boxes at ?115/?120 and ?990/?995 positions. To investigate the effect of the Euc4CL1 promoter on gene expression, a plant transformation vector, pEuc4CL1p, containing the reporter gene for β-glucuronidase (GUS) under the control of Euc4CL1 promoter was constructed based on the pBI101 backbone and introduced in tobacco plants. Stable expression of the GUS gene in transgenic lines was analysed by a histochemical GUS assay. The results indicated the specific expression of the GUS gene in the stem xylem cells of transgenic tobacco lines was controlled by the Euc4CL1 promoter. The observations suggest the isolated Euc4CL1 promoter is a potential candidate for driving the expression of a foreign gene in plant xylem tissues. 相似文献
