Wound-responsive cis-element in the 5'-upstream region of cucumber ascorbate oxidase gene.

چکیده
The cucumber (Cucumis sativas) AAO1 gene (former name, Aso1) encodes an ascorbate oxidase that catalyzes the oxidation by molecular oxygen of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbate. CsAAO1 mRNA concentrations rose rapidly after mechanical wounding of cucumbers. To study the wound-responsive expression of CsAAO1 in detail, we examined transgenic tobacco plants harboring a CsAAO1 promoter-beta-glucuronidase fusion gene. CsAAO1 promoter activity in leaves of the tobacco was induced by wounding. Analysis of the regulatory properties of 5'-deleted promoter fragments showed that a putative wound-responsive cis-element (WRE) was located -736 to -707 bp from the translation initiation site. DNA binding factors that bound specifically to the putative WRE sequence were identified in tobacco nuclear extracts by gel retardation assays.

Cloning and Functional Analysis of the Promoter of an Ascorbate Oxidase Gene from Gossypium hirsutum
Apoplastic ascorbate oxidase (AO) plays significant roles in plant cell growth. However, the mechanism of underlying the transcriptional regulation of AO in Gossypium hirsutum remains unclear. Here, we obtained a 1,920-bp promoter sequence from the Gossypium hirsutum ascorbate oxidase (GhAO1) gene, and this GhAO1 promoter included a number of known cis-elements. Promoter activity analysis in ov...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation by light and phytohormones of the MGD gene in cucumber.
Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) synthase catalyses formation of MGDG, a major structural lipid of chloroplasts. We have already cloned a cDNA for the synthase from a cucumber cDNA library and shown that expression of this gene is regulated by light and a phytohormone, cytokinin. In the present study, we report the molecular basis for transcriptional regulation by light and cytokinin in deta...
متن کاملCloning of the pumpkin ascorbate oxidase gene and analysis of a cis-acting region involved in induction by auxin.
A genomic clone encoding ascorbate oxidase was isolated from pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.). This gene is consisted of four exons and three introns. Analyses of the promoter fusion to beta-glucuronidase reporter gene by transient expression assay in pumpkin fruit tissues suggested the existence of a cis-acting region responsible for auxin regulation.
متن کاملIdentification of a peroxisome proliferator-responsive element upstream of the human peroxisomal fatty acyl coenzyme A oxidase gene.
Peroxisome proliferators cause a rapid and coordinated transcriptional activation of genes encoding the enzymes of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway in rats and mice. Cis-acting peroxisome proliferator responsive elements (PPREs) have been identified in the 5'-flanking region of H202-producing rat acyl-CoA oxidase (ACOX) gene and in other genes inducible by peroxisome proliferators. To gai...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus which causes serious yield losses in canola. A pathogen inducible-promoter can facilitate the production of Sclerotinia-resistant transgenic canola plants. Inthis study, the “gain of function approach” was adopted for the construction of a pathogen-inducible promoter.The synthetic promoter technique was used, which involved the in...
