In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, cytochrome c6 (cyt c6) is synthesized only under conditions of copper deficiency when plastocyanin cannot be synthesized. In previous work, the copper-responsive regulation of cyt c6 synthesis was demonstrated to occur by control of transcription, with no contribution from post-transcriptional processes. To understand the mechanism underlying its regulation, the genomic DNA encoding cyt c6 (Cyc6) was analyzed for the presence of copper-responsive elements. Sequences lying between positions -127 and -7 with respect to the start site of transcription were found to be sufficient to confer copper-responsive expression on either a promoterless or a minimal beta-tubulin promoter-driven (arylsulfatase-encoding) reporter gene. Analysis of this 120-bp fragment indicated that copper-responsive elements lie in two distinct regions (between -110 to -56 and -127 to -109). ATG fusions between copper-insensitive promoters and the coding plus 3' untranslated region of the Cyc6 gene resulted in the accumulation of cyt c6 in copper-supplemented medium; this confirms earlier studies indicating a lack of post-transcriptional control in this copper-responsive pathway. In the context of a constitutive promoter (derived from the beta-tubulin gene), each region was found to function as an activator of transcription in copper-deficient cells, and the metal specificity of the response of reporter genes containing either one or both regions was identical to that of the endogenous Cyc6 gene. The copper-responsive synthesis of cyt c6 is thus attributed to these two 5' upstream sequences.
