16121241 McIntosh KB, Bonham-Smith PC: The two ribosomal protein L23A genes are differentially transcribed in Arabidopsis thaliana. Genome. 2005 Jun;48(3):443-54.
Arabidopsis thaliana ribosomal protein (r-protein) L23A (RPL23A) is a member of the conserved L23/L25 family of primary ribosomal RNA (rRNA) binding proteins. The 2 AtRPL23A isoforms, RPL23A-1 and RPL23A-2, are 94% identical at the amino acid level, yet RPL23A-1 and RPL23A-2 share only approximately 40-50% primary sequence identity within the 5' regulatory regions. While the RPL23A-1 and -2 5' regulatory regions share many similar predicted motifs, the arrangement and number of these motifs differs between the 2 genes. Differences in regulation between RPL23A-1 and -2 have been investigated via reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) expression profiles. Overall, transcript abundance for RPL23A-1 and -2 varied slightly in specific tissues and under some abiotic stresses. The highest transcript abundance for both RPL23A genes was detected in mitotically active tissues such as bud, flower and elongating carpel, as well as in root and stem while the lowest transcript levels were found in mature leaf and bract. Hormone-treated seedlings showed increased RPL23A-1 and -2 transcript levels following IAA and BAP treatment while ABA treatment resulted in a transient lowering of transcript levels. Expression patterns differed between RPL23A-1 and -2 in cold-, wound-, and copper-stressed seedlings. In all tissues examined, RPL23A-2 transcript levels were consistently lower than those of RPL23A-1. This report shows differential transcriptional regulation of the 2 RPL23A genes, which should no longer be identified as "housekeeping" genes.
