Abstract:
:The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene, DcPAL3, was expressed during the synthesis of anthocyanin in suspension-cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota). There were two putative cis-elements in the DcPAL3 promoter region: the box-L and GCC-box homologs. Both of these are committed to the upregulation of promoter activity. Although box-L is known as the conserved cis-element present in the promoter region of most PAL genes of many plant species targeted by the R2R3-MYB protein, among PAL genes, the GCC-box homolog is unique to the promoter region of the DcPAL3 gene. We have isolated two proteins belonging to the ethylene-responsive element-binding factor (ERF) family, DcERF1 and DcERF2, from two different cDNA libraries prepared from anthocyanin-synthesizing cells of different cultured cell lines of carrot. The methodology employed was yeast one-hybrid screening with the GCC-box homolog as a bait. Both DcERF1 and DcERF2 bound to the GCC-box homolog sequence in vitro. Transient expression analysis showed that, in carrot protoplasts, DcERF1 was able bind to the GCC-box homolog and act as an activator of the DcPAL3 promoter. In contrast, DcERF2 itself had no ability to activate DcPAL3 promoter activity, possibly because transiently expressed DcERF2 may not be exported into the nucleus. These results suggest that DcERF1 and DcERF2 may function in different ways in committing to the upregulation of the DcPAL3 promoter activity in anthocyanin-synthesizing cells of carrot.
