Elements of the Maize A1 Promoter Required for Transactivation by the Anthocyanin B/C1 or Phlobaphene P Regulatory Genes

The extensive genetic and molecular characterization of the flavonoid pathway's structural and regulatory genes has provided some of the most detailed knowledge of gene interactions in plants. In maize flavonoid biosynthesis, the A1 gene is independently regulated in the anthocyanin and phlobaphene pathways. Anthocyanin production requires the expression of the C1 or Pl and R or B regulatory genes, whereas phlobaphene production requires only the P regulatory gene. By deletion analysis of the A1 promoter, we show that the sequences between -123 and -88 are critical for activation by anthocyanin and phlobaphene regulatory genes. Linker-scanner mutations indicated that the -123 to -100 region is more important for transactivation by the P protein. The -98 to -88 region is more important for B/C1 transactivation and shows a strong homology with the region of the Bz1 anthocyanin structural gene promoter shown to be activated by B/C1 and not by P. We identified a 14-bp consensus sequence that is also present in the promoters of three other genes in the anthocyanin pathway, and we propose a model for how the flavonoid regulatory proteins interact with the promoters of the structural genes.
