Analysis of the epimerase gene promoter showed that it includes putative binding sites for transcriptional activators and repressors, which could be involved in the control of gene expression. We proposed that two types of regulatory elements could regulate the epimerase gene induction during heat shock: two putative heat shock elements (HSE) and possibly STRE, present in many promoters of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) genes which are induced in different stress conditions, including heat shock. The aim of the present study was to investigate in vitro the two types of promoter regulatory elements, possibly involved in activation of the epimerase gene during heat shock. The results obtained with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed that in the fungus R. nigricans the epimerase gene is induced during heat shock via HSF-independent mechanism and that heat shock activates transcription factors capable of binding to putative STRE regulatory elementPredhodne raziskave so pokazale, da različni stresni pogoji v filamentozni glivi Rhizopus nigricans (R. nigricans) povečajo izražanje genov za citosolne Hsp70 in epimerazo. Z analizo epimeraznega promotorja smo ugotovili, da promotor vsebuje morebitna vezavna mesta za transkripcijske dejavnike, ki bi lahko uravnavali izražanje gena za epimerazo. Izražanje gena za epimerazo med toplotnim stresom bi bilo lahko uravnavano preko dveh vrst regulatornih elementov: dveh morebitnih elementov HSE in preko elementa STRE, ki je prisoten v števiInih promotorjih genov kvasovke Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) in se izražajo v različnih stresnih pogojih, vključno med toplotnim stresom. Cilj naše raziskave je bil proučiti obe vrsti regutatornih elementov in njihovo vtogo med toptotnim stresom v pogojih in vitro. Rezultatiposkusov premikov kompteksov DNAproteini v električnem pofju (EMSA) so pokazali, da je v glivi R. nigricans mehanizem povečanega izražanja oena zaepimerazo neodvisen od dejavnikov HSF in da toplotni stres aktivira transkripcijske dejavnike, ki se vežejo na morebitni regulatorni element STRETEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko kemijsko društvo
