Abstract

We have examined the activities of promoters of a number of yeast genes encoding resident endoplasmic reticulum proteins, and found increased expression in a strain with severe protein disulphide isomerase deficiency. Serial deletion in the promoter of the MPD1 gene, which encodes a PDI1-homologue, revealed a cis-acting element responding to deficiency of protein disulphide isomerase activity (designated CERP). The presence of the sequence element is necessary and sufficient for the upregulation in response to disulphide isomerase deficiency, as measured by a minimal promoter containing the CERP element. The sequence (GACACG) does not resemble the unfolded protein response element. It is present in the upstream regions of the MPD1, MPD2, KAR2, PDI1 and ERO1 genes.
