"IDENTIFYING THE cis-ACTING SUGAR RESPONSE ELEMENTS THAT FACILIT" by Frank Barretta, jr.
account for the observed glucose dependent repression response. A unique response element motif was not readily identified in the predicted promoter region of ADF9. To further define possible sugar response elements, the predicted promoters of ADF9 and ARP8 were cloned as luciferase fusions in a plant expression vector. However, by transient expression assay, the cloned constructs were not active under different experimental conditions. Identifying the functionally active sugar response elements in the predicted promoter regions of genes that are targets of glucose signaling will improve our understanding of this regulatory process.
