Table 1 Motifs detected in pro-SmAMP2 gene promoter sequence (based on the results of analysis by PLACE and PlantCARE programs)

From: Novel strong promoter of antimicrobial peptides gene pro-SmAMP2 from chickweed (Stellaria media)

Motif

Description

5UTR Py-rich stretch

region in the 5primeUTR conferring high transcription levels without the need for other upstream cis-elements except for a TATA-box

GCN4_motif

cis-regulatory element involved in endosperm expression

TGACG-motif, CGTCA-motif

cis-acting regulatory element involved in the MeJA-responsiveness

GT1-motif

light responsive element

ARE (anaerobic responsive element)

cis-acting regulatory element essential for the anaerobic induction

MRE

MYB binding site involved in light responsiveness

ACE

cis-acting element involved in light responsiveness

TC-rich repeats

cis-acting element involved in defense and stress responsiveness

Skn-1_motif

cis-acting regulatory element required for endosperm expression

MBS

MYB binding site involved in drought-inducibility

G-box

cis-acting regulatory element involved in light responsiveness

AC-I

element involved in negative regulation on phloem expression; and responsible for restricting the vascular expression to the xylem

TCA-element

cis-acting element involved in salicylic acid responsiveness

I box

part of a light responsive element

TGA-element

auxin-responsive element

W-box

wounding and pathogen elicitor response

S box

wounding and pathogen elicitor response

CAAT-box

common cis-acting element in promoter and enhancer regions

TATA-box

core promoter element around −30 of transcription start
