Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science, Miami University, Botany.
As a model organism, use of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is not only limited with biological experiments to understand chloroplast and flagella, but is also extended to biodiesel production. Chlamydomonas promoter regions were extracted based on available RNA-Seq data and community genome annotation, and promoters were used to analyze and detect core and proximal promoter elements. While the evidence suggests only the TATA box (canonical and non-canonical TATA boxes) as the only core promoter element, it also indicates that the TATA box in Chlamydomonas is different than Arabidopsis and human TATA boxes. While some proximal promoter elements discovered show weak similarities to known promoter elements from other species, most are novel elements only present in Chlamydomonas. Most of the proximal promoter elements detected show significant similarities to each other. It is evident from this study that the promoter architecture in Chlamydomonas seems to be simpler compared to animals and plants.
