Identification of elements in the PDA1 promoter of Nectria haematococca necessary for a high level of transcription in vitro.

Expression of the PDA1 gene in the ascomycete Nectria haematococca MPVI (anamorph: Fusarium solani) is induced by exposure of mycelium to pisatin, an isoflavonoid phytoalexin produced by its host plant, garden pea. The PDA1 gene encodes a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase which detoxifies pisatin. Regulatory elements controlling transcription from the PDA1 promoter were identified using a homologous Nectria in vitro transcription system through analysis of 5'' deletions, specific oligonucleotide competition, and fusion of upstream segments to a heterologous promoter. A promoter-distal element which provided transcriptional activation was localized to a 35-bp region positioned -514 to -483 upstream of the transcriptional start site. This 35-bp region binds a previously characterized pisatin-responsive DNA-binding factor (PRF) and thus may provide pisatin-responsive control of transcription. A second promoter-proximal positive-acting region was found to be necessary for promoter transcription in both homologous and heterologous extracts, and so is likely to bind less genespecific transcription activator(s). A negative-acting element located between these two positive regions may act to make the positive-acting elements interdependent. The identification of an activator responding to pisatin provides a model for the control of a number of genes and processes controlled by host-specific signals, particularly the flavonoids.
