Abstract
Base substitution mutations were introduced into the promoter region of the wheat histone H3 gene and promoter activity was assayed in stably transformed sunflower calli or in wheat protoplasts transfected transiently. At least four positive regulatory elements, a hexamer motif (ACGTCA). two octamer(-like) motifs of a direct (CcCGGATC) and a reverse (aATCCGCG) form, and a nonamer motif (CATCCAACG) were identified within the -185 region of the H3 promoter. Analyses of the type I element (CC CC ) consisting of the hexamer and reverse-oriented octamer motifs, and which is conserved in other plant histone genes as well, predicted the presence of an octamer-binding protein(s).
