Cis-Elements and Trans-Factors in Transcription Regulation in Plants

Summary

    This review decribes some of the recent progress in the understanding of transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in plants. The structure of best studied promoters directing transcription in plants such as 35S-promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus, promoter of the ribuloso-l,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit gene and patatin promoters is considered. The modern data about the structure of regulatory protein factors and possible mechanisms of their interaction with promoter sequences are discussed.
