Upregulation of the promoter activity of the carrot (Daucus carota) phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene (DcPAL3) is caused by new members of the transcriptional regulatory proteins, DcERF1 and DcERF2, which bind to the GCC-box homolog and act as an activator to the DcPAL3 promoter.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene, DcPAL3, was expressed during the synthesis of anthocyanin in suspension-cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota). There were two putative cis-elements in the DcPAL3 promoter region: the box-L and GCC-box homologs. Both of these are committed to the upregulation of promoter activity. Although box-L is known as the conserved cis-element present in the promoter region of most PAL genes of many plant species targeted by the R2R3-MYB protein, among PAL genes, the GCC-box homolog is unique to the promoter region of the DcPAL3 gene. We have isolated two proteins belonging to the ethylene-responsive element-binding factor (ERF) family, DcERF1 and DcERF2, from two different cDNA libraries prepared from anthocyanin-synthesizing cells of different cultured cell lines of carrot. The methodology employed was yeast one-hybrid screening with the GCC-box homolog as a bait. Both DcERF1 and DcERF2 bound to the GCC-box homolog sequence in vitro. Transient expression analysis showed that, in carrot protoplasts, DcERF1 was able bind to the GCC-box homolog and act as an activator of the DcPAL3 promoter. In contrast, DcERF2 itself had no ability to activate DcPAL3 promoter activity, possibly because transiently expressed DcERF2 may not be exported into the nucleus. These results suggest that DcERF1 and DcERF2 may function in different ways in committing to the upregulation of the DcPAL3 promoter activity in anthocyanin-synthesizing cells of carrot.
