Abstract:

A partial gene sequence and 5' flanking sequence of chymopapain were isolated from the genomic DNA of Carica papaya via PCR technology. The results of alignment indicated that the isolated DNA sequence had 99% homology with that of the chymopapain gene in papaya. The core promoter regions and some upstream regulatory elements in this fragment were analyzed. Transcriptional start site(TSS)was T predicted by the software of PROMOTER PREDICTION and PLANT CARE TATA-box,CAAT-box,WUN,HSE regions and other cis-elements were found incooespanding promoter sequence regions with others. Compared with the data in GenBank,the results showed that a novel promoter was obtained,the GenBank accession number was AY803756. Binary vectors were then constructed,GUS expressions were both observed in papaya leaves transferred via particle bombardment and tobacco plantlet mediated by agrobacterium. GUS activities were detected only in latex.

Key words: Carica papaya, chymopapain, promoter, sequence analysis, gene expression, laticifer
