Abstract

We have constructed two intra-molecularly shuffled promoters, namely S100 and D100. The S100 recombinant promoter (621 bp) was generated by ligation of 250 bp long upstream activation sequence (UAS) of Strawberry vein banding virus (SV10UAS; − 352 to − 102 relative to TSS) with its 371 bp long TATA containing core promoter domain (SV10CP; − 352 to + 19). Likewise, 726 bp long D100 promoter was constructed by fusion of 170 bp long UAS of Dahlia mosaic virus (DaMV14UAS; − 203 to − 33) with its 556 bp long core promoter domain (DaMV4CP; − 474 to + 82). S100 and D100 promoters showed 1.8 and 2.2 times stronger activities than that of the CaMV35S promoter. The activity of the promoters is comparable to that of the CaMV35S2 promoter. Transcript analysis employing qRT-PCR and histochemical assays supported the above findings. Abscisic acid and salicylic acid induce the activity of the D100 promoter. Leaf protein obtained from Nicotiana tabacum plant expressing NSD2 gene (Nigella sativa L. defensin 2) driven by the D100 promoter showed antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata and Phoma exigua var. exigua and antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Strong S100 and D100 promoters have potential to become efficient candidates for plant metabolic engineering and molecular pharming.
