PlantCARE, a plant cis-acting regulatory element database
نویسندگان
چکیده
PlantCARE is a database of plant cis- acting regulatory elements, enhancers and repressors. Besides the transcription motifs found on a sequence, it also offers a link to the EMBL entry that contains the full gene sequence as well as a description of the conditions in which a motif becomes functional. The information on these sites is given by matrices, consensus and individual site sequences on particular genes, depending on the available information. PlantCARE is a relational database available via the web at the URL: http://sphinx.rug.ac.be:8080/PlantCARE/

PlantCARE, a database of plant cis-acting regulatory elements and a portal to tools for in silico analysis of promoter sequences
PlantCARE is a database of plant cis-acting regulatory elements, enhancers and repressors. Regulatory elements are represented by positional matrices, consensus sequences and individual sites on particular promoter sequences. Links to the EMBL, TRANSFAC and MEDLINE databases are provided when available. Data about the transcription sites are extracted mainly from the literature, supplemented wi...
متن کاملCloning and functional analysis of the chitinase gene promoter in peanut.
Chitinase is an important pathogenesis-related protein in plants, and it can accumulate when induced by salicylic acid (SA) or other elicitors. Here, we found that chitinase mRNA levels were 4.5-times greater when peanut seedlings were sprayed with 1.5 mM SA, as compared to water. The upstream promoter sequence of the chitinase gene was cloned by TAIL-PCR and the potential cis-regulatory elemen...
متن کاملPlant Metallothioneins: Putative Functions Identified by Promoter Analysis in Silico
Metallothioneins are low-molecular-weight proteins capable of covalently binding heavy metal ions due to the presence of many cysteine residues in their sequences. We analyzed the predicted amino acid sequences of 19 metallothionein (7 from Arabidopsis thaliana and 12 from Oryza sativa) and their promoter sequences in silico in order to determine the potential regulatory cis-elements present in...
متن کاملVascular-specific expression of the bean GRP 1.8 gene is negatively regulated.
In French bean, the glycine-rich cell wall protein GRP 1.8 is specifically synthesized in the vascular tissue. To identify cis-acting sequences required for cell type-specific synthesis of GRP 1.8, expression patterns of fusion gene constructs were analyzed in transgenic tobacco. In these constructs, the uidA (beta-glucuronidase) gene was placed under control of 5' upstream deletions as well as...
متن کاملPLACE: a database of plant cis-acting regulatory DNA elements
PLACE (http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp/htdocs/PLACE/) is a database of motifs found in plant cis -acting regulatory DNA elements, all from previously published reports. It covers vascular plants only. In addition to the motifs originally reported, their variations in other genes or in other plant species reported later are also compiled. The PLACE database also contains a brief description of each m...
