Comparison of the genomic sequence of Gea8 with its cDNA sequence revealed the position of four introns, which is one fewer than observed in other globulin genes. The arrangement and position of the conserved regulatory motifs are presented in Table 1. Characteristics of the Gea8 genomic DNA sequence. The numbering is relative to the numbering in Genbank which begins upstream of the transcribed region. Numbering refers to the first nucleotide of the sequence motif.
Some motifs are present as the complementary sequence of the consensus sequence as indicated.
Positive and negative cis-acting DNA domains are required for spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression by a seed storage protein promoter. A DNA sequence element that confers seed-specificenhancement to a constitutive promoter. The developmentally regulated bZIP factor ROM1 modulates transcription from lectin and storage protein genes in bean embryos. Localization of sequences in wheat endosperm protein genes which confer tissue-specific expression in tobacco. Regulation of gene expression during plant embryogenesis.
