Identification of cis-regulating elements and trans-acting factors regulating the expression of the gene encoding the small subunit of ribonucleotide reductase in Dictyostelium discoideum.
We have examined the promoter of rnrB, the gene encoding the small subunit of ribonucleotide reductase of Dictyostelium discoideum, using lacZ as a reporter gene. Deletion analysis showed that expression of this gene in vegetative cells involves an A/T-rich element, whereas its expression in prespore cells during development requires a region encompassing two G/C-rich elements, designated box A...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a Dictyostelium discoideum ribosomal protein gene.
We have identified a developmentally repressed large-subunit ribosomal protein gene of Dictyostelium discoideum based on sequence similarity to other ribosomal proteins. Protein rpl7 is homologous to large subunit ribosomal proteins from the rat and possibly to Mycoplasma capricolum and Escherichia coli, but is not similar to three sequenced ribosomal proteins in Dictyostelium. The rpl7 gene is...
متن کاملThe identification of a cis-acting element involved in cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate regulation of bovine vasopressin gene expression.
Cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) has been implicated as an intracellular messenger mediating osmotic regulation of expression of the gene encoding the neuropeptide vasopressin (VP) in the hypothalamus. We have used a heterologous transient transfection system to demonstrate that cAMP regulates the bovine VP gene promoter following transfection into CV1 cells. Mutational analysis iden...
متن کاملSpecific cell-cell contacts are essential for induction of gene expression during differentiation of Dictyostelium discoideum.
Postaggregation Dictyostelium discoideum cells contain 2000-3000 mRNA species that are absent from pre-aggregation cells. These aggregation-dependent sequences compose 30% of the mass of the late mRNA and represent the transcription products of an additional 11% of the single-copy genome. By analysis of mutants that are blocked at different stages of differentiation, we show that induction of e...
متن کاملSelectable Marker Gene Removal and Expression of Transgene by Inducible Promoter Containing FFDD Cis-Acting elements in Transgenic plants
Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...
