Table 1 List of cis-elements identified in 908 bp ShCYC-B promoter sequence

From: Isolation and functional characterization of Lycopene β-cyclase (CYC-B) promoter from Solanum habrochaites

Name of Cis-element

Sequence

Position from ATG

Description

RAP2.2

ATCTA

-817

RAP2.2 cis-element is conserved in promoters of genes involved in carotenoid and tocopherol biosynthesis, and certain photosynthesis- related genes in Arabidopsis. It confers strong basal activity to promoter

rbcS consensus sequence

AATCCAA or AATCCAAC

-759

Influences the level of gene expression and involved in light regulated gene expression

GT1 consensus

GAAAAA

-224,-230, -294, -304, -386, -413, -557, -723, -809

Consensus binding site in many light-regulated genes, GT-1 can stabilize the TFIIA-TBP- TATA box complex

GT1 GM SCAM4

GAAAAA

-304, -723

GT-1 motif found in the promoter of soybean, Interacts with a GT-1-like transcription factor

CArGAT consensus

CCWWWWWWGG

-643

Cis-element found in the promoter of AtSOC1, a MADS-box flowering-time gene. Flowering Locus C (FLC) protein binds to GArG box in SOC1 promoter and represses the expression of SOC1.

ROOT MOTIF TAPOX1

ATATT

-104,-409,-728

Motif found in promoters of rolD and root-specific genes

ERE

AWTTCAAA

-332

Ethylene responsive element found in tomato E4 promoter and other senescence associated gene promoters. It is required for ethylene-mediated expression.

L-box

AAATTAACCAAC

-323

Part of a light-responsive element

CIACADIANLELHC

CAANNNNATC

-115, -273

Region necessary for circadian expression of tomato Lhc gene

INRNTPSADB

YTCANTYY

-64, -168, -403

Inr (initiator) elements found in tobacco psaDb promoter without TATA boxes, element responsible for light responsive transcription
