The region -160 to -127 nt of the upstream of CYP2B1/B2 gene has been found to function as a negative cis-acting element on the basis of DNase-I footprint and gel mobility shift assays as well as cell-free transcriptional assays using Bal-31 mutants. A reciprocal relationship in the interaction of the negative and the recently characterized positive elements with their respective protein factors has been found under repressed and induced conditions of the gene. The negative element also harbors the core glucocorticoid responsive sequence, TGTCCT. It is concluded that the negative element mediates the repressed state of the gene under the uninduced condition and also mediates the repressive effect of dexamethasone, when given along with the inducer phenobarbitone in rats. Dexamethasone is able to antagonize the effects of phenobarbitone at as low a concentration as 100 micrograms/kg body wt in these animals.

Background: HO treatment can accelerate grape ripening and mediate changes in histone methylation levels. Histone methylation, as an epigenetic modification, is involved in regulating the expression of genes related to fruit ripening, including H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. Among them, H3K27me3 methylation is generally negatively regulated in development, and H3K27 methyltransferase can participate in the development process of fruit by regulate the level of H3K27me3.

Article Synopsis
- Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the bacterium "Liberibacter asiaticus," is a serious threat to citrus crops and currently has no effective cure or known susceptibility genes in Citrus species.
- We conducted a genome-wide analysis of the DnaJ gene family in various Citrus species, identifying 86 genes spread across nine chromosomes, and classifying them into six groups.
- Our research found that some DnaJ genes are significantly more active in HLB-infected tissues and suggested that silencing a specific gene could reduce disease resistance, laying groundwork for future breeding of disease-resistant citrus varieties.
