NtWBC1, an ABC transporter gene specifically expressed in tobacco reproductive organs.
To identify genes specifically or predominantly expressed in the stigmas/styles and to establish their possible function in the reproductive process of plants, a tobacco stigma/style cDNA library was constructed and differentially screened, resulting in the isolation of several cDNA clones. The molecular characterization of one of these clones is described here. After sequencing the cDNA and th...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a gene encoding an ABC transporter expressed in the dicarboxylic acid-producing yeast Candida maltosa.
A gene, CmCDR1, encoding an ABC transporter of the dicarboxylic acid (DCA)-producing yeast Candida maltosa was cloned. Transcription of CmCDR1 was upregulated in a DCA-hyper-producing mutant of C. maltosa in a later phase of culture on n-dodecane, but not in its parental strain. CmCDR1 expression was significantly induced by the longer-chain DCA in this mutant.
متن کاملConversion of perianth into reproductive organs by ectopic expression of the tobacco floral homeotic gene NAG1.
Mutations in the AGAMOUS (AG) gene of Arabidopsis thaliana result in the conversion of reproductive organs, stamens and carpels, into perianth organs, sepals and petals. We have isolated and characterized the putative AG gene from Nicotiana tabacum, NAG1, whose deduced protein product shares 73% identical amino acid residues with the Arabidopsis AG gene product. RNA tissue in situ hybridization...
متن کاملThe metD D-methionine transporter locus of Escherichia coli is an ABC transporter gene cluster.
The metD D-methionine transporter locus of Escherichia coli was identified as the abc-yaeE-yaeC cluster (now renamed metNIQ genes). The abc open reading frame is preceded by tandem MET boxes bracketed by the -10 and -35 boxes of a promoter. The expression driven by this promoter is controlled by the MetJ repressor and the level of methionine.
متن کاملCharacterization of novel genes expressed specifically in the sexual organs of the planarian Dugesia ryukyuensis.
The planarian Dugesia ryukyuensis reproduces both asexually (fissiparous) and sexually (oviparous) and can switch from the asexual mode to the sexual mode. By feeding with mature Bdellocephala brunnea oviparous worms, the fissiparous worms, which do not possess sexual organs, can be converted to fully sexualized worms in a process termed sexualization. As sexualization proceeds, the sexual orga...
