Transcription of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae copper-metallothionein gene, CUP1, inducible by copper. By analyzing deletion and fusion mutants in the CUP1 5'-flanking region, we identified two closely related, tandemly arranged copper regulatory elements. A synthetic version of one of these elements conferred efficient copper induction on a heterologous promoter when present in two tandem copies.
酿酒酵母铜金属硫蛋白基因CUP1的转录受铜诱导。通过分析CUP1 5'侧翼区域的缺失和融合突变体,我们鉴定出两个紧密相关、串联排列的铜调控元件。当以两个串联拷贝存在时,其中一个元件的合成版本赋予了异源启动子高效的铜诱导能力。
