Isolation and Functional Characterization of Bidirectional Promoters in Rice
Bidirectional promoters, which show great application potential in genetic improvement of plants, have aroused great research interest recently. However, most bidirectional promoters were cloned individually in the studies of single genes. Here, we initiatively combined RNA-seq data and cDNA microarray data to discover the potential bidirectional promoters in rice genome. Based on the expressio...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of open chromatin in bidirectional promoters of rice
Bidirectional gene pairs tend to be highly coregulated and function in similar biological processes in eukaryotic genomes. Structural features and functional consequences of bidirectional promoters (BDPs) have received considerable attention among diverse species. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the bidirectional transcription and coexpression of BDPs remain poorly understood...
متن کاملSilencing of bidirectional promoters by DNA methylation in tumorigenesis.
CpG island methylation within promoters is known to silence individual genes in cancer. The involvement of this process in silencing gene pairs controlled by bidirectional promoters is unclear. In a screen for hypermethylated CpG islands in cancer, bidirectional promoters constituted 25.2% of all identified promoters, which matches with the genomic representation of bidirectional promoters. Fro...

Background: The key enzyme of estrogen biosynthesis, aromatase cytochrome P450,is encoded by the CYP19 gene.CYP19 plays an important role in the development,function,an regulation of the female reproduction cycle. Thus, it is the potential candidate gene affecting fertility performance in human. CYP19 transcripts are expressed mainly in the ovary,testes,breast,adipose tissue and brain. Tissue e...
متن کاملTranscription factor binding and modified histones in human bidirectional promoters.
Bidirectional promoters have received considerable attention because of their ability to regulate two downstream genes (divergent genes). They are also highly abundant, directing the transcription of approximately 11% of genes in the human genome. We categorized the presence of DNA sequence motifs, binding of transcription factors, and modified histones as overrepresented, shared, or underrepre...
