ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE PROMOTOR REGION OF FUM2 GENE FUMARATE HYDRATASE OF CORN ZEA MAYS L
As a result of the analysis of the structure of the promoter of the gene fum2 fumarate hydratase (FH, EC 4.2.1.2), it was found that there are no CpG islands in its composition, which can cause its regulation by changing the methylation status of individual CG dinucleotides. The mechanism of regulation of the fum2 gene is associated with the dependence of the binding of transcription factors on the presence of methylated cytosines in specific sites of their binding. Based on this analysis, we developed primers for methyl-specific PCR.
