Promoter, promoter control elements, and combinations, and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention provides DNA molecules that constitute fragments of the genome of a plant, and polypeptides encoded thereby. The DNA molecules are useful for specifying a gene product in cells, either as a promoter or as a protein coding sequence or as an UTR or as a 3′ termination sequence, and are also useful in controlling the behavior of a gene in the chromosome, in controlling the expression of a gene or as tools for genetic mapping, recognizing or isolating identical or related DNA fragments, or identification of a particular individual organism, or for clustering of a group of organisms with a common trait. One of ordinary skill in the art, having this data, can obtain cloned DNA fragments, synthetic DNA fragments or polypeptides constituting desired sequences by recombinant methodology known in the art or described herein.

主权项

1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising:
a) a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence which encodes an amino acid sequence exhibiting at least 40% sequence identity to an amino acid sequence encoded by
(1) a nucleotide sequence described in the tables or a fragment thereof; or(2) a complement of a nucleotide sequence shown in the tables or a fragment thereof; b) a nucleic acid which is the reverse of the nucleotide sequence according to subparagraph (a), such that the reverse nucleotide sequence has a sequence order which is the reverse of the sequence order of the nucleotide sequence according to subparagraph (a); c) a nucleic acid capable of hybridizing to a nucleic acid having a sequence selected from the group consisting of:
(1) a nucleotide sequence which is shown in Tables 1 and/or 2; and a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to a nucleotide sequence shown in Tables 1 and/or 2, under conditions that permit formation of a nucleic acid duplex at a temperature from about 40° C. and 48° C. below the melting temperature of the nucleic acid duplex, with the proviso that said nucleotide sequence is not any of the sequences described in the Tables of any of Patent Publication Nos. WO 200040695, CA 2300692 A1, EP 1033405 A2, CA 2302828 A1 and EP 1059354 A2 and any proteins listed in the application that are identified by gi number or otherwise as being from the non-redundant GenBank CDS translations or Protein Database (PDB available on the internet) or PIR-International) Database (PIR; available on the internet).
