    Notes: Abstract Two copies of domain B of the CaMV 35S promoter were inserted ca. 300 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site of the Ac transposase gene. Four independent Arabidopsis transformants containing this fusion (35SenhAc::TPase) were made and the abundance of transposase mRNA in each of them was determined. The presence of the enhancers increased the abundance of the transposase mRNA by about 12-fold compared to that found in plants containing an Ac promoter fusion to the transposase gene (Ac::TPase). Hybrid plants carrying 35SenhAc::TPase and a Ds element inserted in a streptomycin phophotransferase (SPT) gene were constructed and the frequency with which Ds excision occurred in the developing cotyledons was measured. Moreover, the number of progeny of these hybrid plants which inherited an SPT gene activated by Ds excision was studied in individual F2 families. Those derived from 35SenhAc::TPase often contained higher proportions of streptomycin-resistant (strepR) F2 progeny than those derived from Ac::TPase. These high frequencies of strepR seedlings were comparable to those previously detected after activation of Ds by a CaMV 35S promoter fusion to transposase (35S::TPase), but occurred in fewer families. The higher frequency with which this occurred in families derived from 35SenhAc::TPase compared to Ac::TPase suggests that the presence of enhancers adjacent to the native Ac promoter can influence transposase gene expression, and in this case often results in earlier excision of Ds during plant development.

    Isolation and structural characterization of a cDNA encoding Arabidopsis thaliana 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (1989)

    Notes: Abstract The enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase (EC 1.1.1.34) catalyses the synthesis of mevalonate, the specific precursor of all isoprenoid compounds present in plants. We have characterized two overlapping cDNA clones that encompass the entire transcription unit of an HMG-CoA reductase gene from Arabidopsis thaliana. The transcription product has an upstream non-coding sequence of 70 nucleotides preceding an open reading frame of 1776 bases and a 3′ untranslated region in which two alternative polyadenylation sites have been found. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence reveals that the cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 592 residues with a molecular mass of 63 605 Da. The hydropathy profile of the protein indicates the presence of two highly hydrophobic domains near the N-terminus. A sequence of 407 amino acids corresponding to the C-terminal part of the protein (residues 172–579), which presumably contains the catalytic site, shows a high level of similarity to the region containing the catalytic site of the hamster, human, yeast and Drosophila enzymes. The N-terminal domain contains two putative membrane-spanning regions, in contrast to the enzyme from other organisms which has seven trans-membrane regions. A. thaliana contains two different HMG-CoA reductase genes (HMG1 and HMG2), as estimated by gene cloning and Southern blot analysis. Northern blot analysis reveals a single transcript of 2.4 kb in leaves and seedlings, which presumably corresponds to the expression of the HMG1 gene.

    Sequence analysis of a 13·4 kbp fragment from the left arm of chromosome XV reveals a malate dehydrogenase gene, a putative Ser/Thr protein kinase, the ribosomal L25 gene and four new open reading frames (1996)

    Notes: A 13 421 bp fragment located near the left telomere of chromosome XV (cosmid pEOA461) has been sequenced. Seven non-overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) encoding polypeptides longer than 100 residues have been found (AOB859, AOC184, AOE375, AOX142i, AOE423, AOA476 and AOE433). An additional ORF (AOE131) is found within AOA476. Three of them (AOC184, AOA476 and AOE433) show no remarkable identity with proteins deposited in the data banks. ORF AOB859 is quite similar to a hypothetical yeast protein of similar size located in chromosome VI, particularly within the C-terminal half. AOE375 encodes a new member of the glycogen synthase kinase-3 subfamily of Ser/Thr protein kinases. AOX142i is the gene encoding the previously described ribosomal protein L25. AOE423 codes for a protein virtually identical to the MDH2 malate dehydrogenase isozyme. However, our DNA sequence shows a single one-base insertion upstream of the reported initiating codon. This would produce a larger ORF by extending 46 residues the N-terminus of the protein. The existence of this insertion has been confirmed in three different yeast strains, including FY1679. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 13·4 kbp fragment has been deposited at the DNA databases (Accession Number U41293).

    Notes: The DNA sequence of a 12,801 bp fragment located near the left telomere of chromosome XV has been determined. Sequence analysis reveals eight open reading frames (ORFs) encoding polypeptides larger than 100 residues. ORFs AOE129 and AOAA121 are in opposite strands and they overlap at their 3′ ends. AOE397 has similarity with phosphofructokinase genes from other organisms and may code for a second 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequence of AOA471 shows significant similarity with yeast genes coding for glycophospholipid-containing proteins. AOD1341 would code for a 1341 amino acids long protein with a predicted ATP/GTP-binding site and a transmembrane domain. The nucleotide sequence reported here has been submitted to the EMBL data library under Accession Number X95465.
