Using this technology, huge number of differentially-expressed genes of interest have been identified in a broad range of circumstances. Making sense biologically on these genes using the recently-improved functional annotation and data integration has leveraged our understanding in diseases and their biological mechanisms. However, understanding the codes encrypt- ed in the cis-aeting regulatory regions and gaining insights into the circuitry of functional regulatory networks on the genomic scale will require additional empirical data sets that are capable of revealing the cohorts or regulons of the transcription and the dynamic progression of molecular events responsible for certain biological function.展开更多
将大肠杆菌的rpoS和rmf基因突变型和野生型菌株分别培养在营养丰富的LB培养基和成分有限的EP培养基上。在相同条件下,进入稳定期后的突变型菌株的活细胞数低于野生菌株。采用 Western blot方法测定了不同基因产物在稳定期的变化。σ^(38...将大肠杆菌的rpoS和rmf基因突变型和野生型菌株分别培养在营养丰富的LB培养基和成分有限的EP培养基上。在相同条件下,进入稳定期后的突变型菌株的活细胞数低于野生菌株。采用 Western blot方法测定了不同基因产物在稳定期的变化。σ^(38)对RNA聚合酶核心酶亚单位结构基因 rpoA、rpoB、rpoC以及groEs和tufA基因的表达影响不大,能抑制crp和促进rmf的表达。RMF在营养丰富的条件下对rpoA、rpoD,groEl、rho、tufA和ompA基因的表达有促进作用,而在EP条件下的影响并不明显,对crp和rpoS的表达分别有抑制和促进作用。展开更多

The present study describes the first functional characterization of a bHLH factor from grapevine named VvMYC1. This transcription factor is phylogenetically related to Arabidopsis bHLH proteins, which participate in the control of flavonoid biosynthesis and epidermal cell fate. Transient promoter and yeast two-hybrid assays demonstrated that VvMYC1 physically interacts with MYB5a, MYB5b, MYBA1/A2, and MYBPA1 to induce promoters of flavonoid pathway genes involved in anthocyanin and/ or proanthocyanidin （PA） synthesis. Additionally, transient promoter assays revealed that VvMYC1 is involved in feedback regulation of its own expression. Transcript levels of VvMYC1 during berry development correlate with the synthesis of anthocyanins and PAs in skins and seeds of berries, suggesting that VvMYC1 is involved in the regulation of anthocyanins and PA synthesis in these organs. Likewise, transient expression of VvMYC1 and VvMYBA1 induces anthocyanin synthesis in grapevine suspension cells. These results suggest that VvMYCl is part of the transcriptional cascade controlling antho- cyanin and PA biosynthesis in grapevine.展开更多
