摘要: In the plastids of most plants, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase; EC 6.4.1.2) is a multisubunit complex consisting biotin (BC), biotin-carboxyl carrier protien (BCCP), and carboxytransferase (alpha-CT, beta-CT) subunits. To better understand regulation this enzyme, we have isolated sequenced BC genomic clone from Arabidopsis partially characterized its promoter. Fifteen introns were identified. The deduced amino acid sequence mature protein highly conserved between tobacco (92.6% identity). expression was evaluated using northern blots BC/GUS fusion constructs in transgenic Arabidopsis. GUS activity transgenics as well transcript level native gene both found to be higher silique flower than root leaf. Analysis suspension cells transformed with truncated promoter/GUS fusions indicated region -140 +147 contained necessary promoter elements which supported basal expression. A positive regulatory located -2100 -140, whereas negative element possibly first intron. addition, several identified Surprisingly, although low-abundance protein, similar 35S/GUS constructs.
