The C1 regulatory gene of the maize anthocyanin pathway is regulated by a
combination of developmental and environmental signals that include the
Viviparous1 (Vp1) gene, abscisic acid (ABA), and light. Using protoplast
electroporation and particle bombardment assays, we have defined cis-acting
elements that are necessary and sufficient for the activation of C1 by ABA,
VP1, and light, respectively. The sequence from positions -142 to -132
(CGTCCATGCAT) is essential for VP1 activation, whereas a larger overlapping
element from -147 to -132 (CGTGTCGTCCATGCAT) is necessary and sufficient
for activation by ABA. A separate light (blue and red)-responsive cis
element is located between positions -116 and -59. Light interacts
synergistically with the ABA and VP1 responses in transient expression
assays, suggesting that combinatorial interaction between modules plays a
role in integrating these signals in the developing seed.
