We have been investigating the structure and regulation of the lignin peroxidase genes from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The gene for lignin peroxidase isozyme H8 was isolated and sequenced. The gene is split into nine exons and eight introns. The introns have consensus sequences both at the splice junctions and at an internal element which may be involved in the splicing mechanism. The promoter contains the eukaryotic consensus elements: a TATA box at -78 and a ACAAT box at -106. Transcription initiates downstream from these sequences as verified by S1 nuclease mapping. Induction of the genes for the lignin peroxidase isozymes during growth under nitrogen and under carbon limitation were compared by analyses of RNA and protein. The results indicate that the lignin peroxidase isozymes are differentially regulated in response to environmental stress.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
