Title in Portuguese
Análise do promotor bidirecional que controla os genes citrato sintase e isocitrato liase do fungo filamentoso Trichoderma reesei.
Keywords in Portuguese

Trichoderma reesei
Abstract in Portuguese
O gene TrCit do fungo filamentoso Trichoderma reesei codifica a proteína citrato sintase, uma enzima chave do ciclo de Krebs. Análise da região 5´ upstream de TrCit mostra que o gene está adjacente ao gene TrIcl (que codifica a proteína isocitrato liase, uma enzima do ciclo de glioxalato), em uma orientação cabeça-cabeça. A região promotora intergênica de 647 pb rica em G + C, apresenta uma ilha CpG, seqüência INR, caixas GC, caixas CAAT, sítios de ligação para diversos fatores de transcrição e é isenta de caixa TATA. O gene TrCit de 1573 pb contém 3 éxons e 2 íntrons. Sua seqüência codificadora de 1422 pb produz uma proteína de 474 aminoácidos, com um peso molecular estimado de 52,3 kD. O gene TrIcl de 1880 pb contém 3 éxons e 2 íntrons. Sua seqüência codificadora de 1788 pb produz uma proteína de 596 aminoácidos, com um peso molecular estimado de 65,4 kD. A atividade transcricional da região promotora foi analisada utilizando como repórter o gene de higromicina B fosfotransferase (hph). Uma região funcional necessária à transcrição de ambos os genes foi identificada na região central do promotor e contém uma caixa GC que liga o putativo fator de transcrição Sp1 de T. reesei (TrZnFSp1). O gene do putativo fator de transcrição “zinc-finger" TrZnFSp1 de 1500 pb contém 3 éxons e 2 íntrons. Sua seqüência codificadora de 1344 pb produz uma proteína de 448 aminoácidos, com um peso molecular estimado de 48,4 kD. Os resultados mostram que ambos os genes são transcritos de forma divergente a partir de um promotor bidirecional que compartilha na região central uma caixa GC, necessária para a transcrição de ambos os genes.

Analysis of a bidirectional promoter controlling the expression of the citrate synthase and isocitrate lyase genes in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei

Abstract in English
The TrCit gene from the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei codes for the citrate synthase protein, a key enzyme in the Krebs cycle. Analysis of TrCit 5’ upstream region showed that it is adjacent to the TrIcl gene that codes for isocitrate lyase protein, an enzyme involved in the glyoxylate cycle. Both genes, on a head-to-head orientation, are separated by an intergenic GC-rich and TATA-less promoter region of 647 base pairs. This bidirectional promoter has diverse cis regulatory elements: a CpG island, two INR sequences, GC boxes, CAAT boxes and several putative interaction sites for different transcription factors. The TrCit gene, 1,573-base pair-long, has an open reading frame of 1,422 base pairs interrupted by two introns. The gene codes for a protein with an estimated molecular weight of 52.3 kD. The TrIcl gene, 1,880-base pair-long, contains 3 exons and 2 introns and a putative coding sequence of 1,788 base pairs. The estimated molecular weight of TrICL is 65.4 kD. he transcriptional activity of the intergenic promoter region was analyzed using hygromicin B phosphotransferase (hph) as a reporter gene. A functional region required for the transcription of both genes was identified in the centre of this promoter. It has a GC box that interacts with a putative transcription factor Sp1 from T. reesei (TrZnFSp1). The results presented in this work show that both genes are divergently transcribed from a bidirectional promoter that shares an essential central GC box.
