Analysis of upstream region of nicotianamine synthase gene from Arabidopsis thaliana: presence of putative ERE-like sequence

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2001 Dec;65(12):2794-7. doi: 10.1271/bbb.65.2794.

Abstract

Nicotianamine (NA) is present in all plants so far examined, and is thought to chelate transition metal ions. Previously, we isolated three nicotianamine synthase (NAS) genes of Arabidopsis thaliana (AtNAS1, 2, and 3) and showed that each NAS gene is differentially expressed. Deletion analysis of the 5' flanking region of AtNAS3 found a putative ethylene-responsive sequence, ATTTTCAAA.
