RESUMO
Expression of Cah1, encoding a periplasmic carbonic anhydrase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard, is activated when cells are exposed to low-CO2 conditions (0.04% [v/v]) in light. By using an arylsulfatase reporter gene, a regulatory region essential for the transcriptional activation of Cah1 was delimited to a 63-bp fragment between –293 and –231 relative to the transcription start site. Linker-scan analysis of the 63-bp region identified two enhancer elements, EE-1 (AGATTTTCACCGGTTGGAAGGAGGT) and EE-2 (CGACTTACGAA). Gel mobility shift assays indicated that nuclear extracts purified from cells grown under low-CO2 conditions in light contained DNA-binding proteins specifically interacting with EE-1 and EE-2. Gel mobility shift assays using mutant oligonucleotide probes revealed that the protein binding to EE-1 preferentially recognized a 9-bp sequence stretch (AGATTTTCA) of EE-1, containing a conserved sequence motif named EEC, GANTTNC, which is also present in EE-2. The EE-1- and EE-2-binding proteins interacted with the EECs contained in both of the two enhancer elements in vitro. Four EECs in the 5′-upstream region from –651 to –231 of Cah1 played a central role in the transcriptional activation of Cah1 under low-CO2 conditions. These EEC-binding proteins were present even in cells grown under high-CO2 conditions (5% [v/v]) or in the dark when Cah1 is not activated. On the basis of these results, the relationship between the transcriptional regulation of Cah1 and protein-binding to the enhancer elements in the 5′-upstream region of Cah1 is discussed.
