Functional analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana rRNA gene and spacer promoters in vivo and by transient expression.

Abstract:

:In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase I transcription is controlled by DNA elements located within the spacers that separate the tandemly arranged rRNA genes. Unlike rRNA coding sequences, the intergenic spacers evolve rapidly and have little sequence similarity even among closely related species. Nonetheless, the arrangement of functional elements, such as spacer promoters and enhancers, is thought to be highly conserved. Here, we identify spacer promoters in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, thereby demonstrating their existence in both the plant and animal kingdoms. We also use an Arabidopsis transient expression system to perform transcriptional analysis of the ribosomal gene promoter. Spacer promoters share sequence similarity with the gene promoter from -91 to +22 relative to the transcription start site, +1. Deletion analysis shows that sequences required for RNA polymerase I transcription reside within these boundaries. Spacer sequences upstream of the gene promoter have only a small positive effect on transcription in transfected protoplasts but can increase transcription from a Xenopus ribosomal gene promoter in injected frog oocytes. This trans-kingdom enhancer effect further suggests that the functional elements within eukaryotic ribosomal genes are highly conserved.
