30、at alog.CLONTECH Laboratories,IProtocol#PT3024-1Version#PR13103Yeast Protocols HandbookII.Introduction to Yeast PromotersYeast promot ers and ot her c/s-act ing reg ulat ory element s play a crucial role in yeast-based expression syst ems and t ranscript ional assays such as t he MATCHMAKER One-and
31、Two-Hybrid Syst ems.Differences in t he promot er reg ion of report er g ene const ruct s can sig nificant ly affect t heir abilit y t o respond t o t he DNA-binding domain of specific t ranscript ional act ivat ors;promot er const ruct s also affect t he level of backg round(or leakiness)of g ene e
32、xpression and t he level of induced expression.Furt hermore,differences in cloning vect or promot ers det ermine t he level of prot ein expression and,in some cases,confer t he abilit y t o be reg ulat ed by a nut rient(such as g alact ose in t he case of t he GAL1 promot er).This chapt er provides
33、a brief int roduct ion t o several commonly used yeast promot ers and c/s-reg ulat ory element s.For furt her informat ion on t he reg ulat ion of g ene expression in yeast,we recommend t he Guide t o Yeast Genet ics and Mo lecular Bio lo gy by Gut hrie&Fink(1991;#V2010-1);Mo lecular Bio lo gy and G
34、enet ic Engineering o f Yeast s,edit ed by Heslot&Gaillardin(1992);St arg ell&St ruhl(1996);and Pring le et al.(1997;#V2365-1).UAS and TATA regions are basic building blocks of yeast promotersThe init iat ion of g ene t ranscript ion in yeast,as in ot her org anisms,is achieved by several molecular
35、mechanisms working in concert.All yeast st ruct ural g enes(i.e.,t hose t ranscribed by RNA polymerase II)are preceded by a reg ion cont aining a loosely conserved seq uence(TATA box)t hat det ermines t he t ranscript ion st art sit e and is also a primary det erminant of t he basal t ranscript ion
36、level.Many g enes are also associat ed wit h c/s-act ing element s-DNA seq uences t o which t ranscript ion fact ors and ot her acs-act ing reg ulat ory prot eins bind and affect t ranscript ion levels.The t erm promot er usually refers t o bot h t he TATA box and t he associat ed c/s-reg ulat ory e
37、lement s.This usag e is especially common when speaking of yeast g ene reg ulat ion because t he cis reg ulat ory element s are relat ively closely associat ed wit h t he TATA box(Yoccum,1987).This is in cont rast t o mult icellular eukaryot es,where cis-reg ulat ory element s(such as enhancers)can
38、be found very far upst ream o r downst ream from t he promot ers t hey reg ulat e.In t his t ext,minimal promot er will refer specifically t o t he TATA reg ion,exclusive of ot her c/s-act ing element s.The minimal promot er(or TATA box)in yeast is t ypically approximat ely 25 bp upst ream of t he t
39、 ranscript ion st art sit e.Yeast TATA boxes are funct ionally similar t o prokaryot ic Pribnow boxes,but are not as t ig ht ly conserved.Furt hermore,some yeast t ranscript ion unit s are preceded by more t han one TATA box.The yeast H/S3 g ene,for example,is preceded by t wo different TATA boxes:T
40、R,which is reg ulat ed,and TC,which is const it ut ive(Mahadevan&St ruhl,1990).Yeast TATA boxes can be moved t o a new locat ion,adjacent t o ot her c/s-reg ulat ory element s,and st ill ret ain t heir t ranscript ional funct ion.One t ype of c/s-act ing t ranscript ion element in yeast is upst ream
41、 act ivat ing seq uences(UAS),which are recog nized by specific t ranscript ional act ivat ors and enhance t ranscript ion from adjacent downst ream TATA reg ions.The enhancing funct ion of yeast UASs is g enerally independent of orient at ion;however,it is sensit ive t o dist ance effect s if moved
42、 more t han a few hundred base pairs from t he TATA reg ion.There may be mult iple copies of a UAS upst ream of a yeast coding reg ion.In addit ion,UASs can be eliminat ed or swit ched t o chang e t he reg ulat ion of t arg et g enes.UAS and TATA regions can be switched to create novel promotersThe
