    Abstract:
    We isolated a target gene for the Lentinula edodes putative transcription factor Le.CDC5 that contains a c-Myb-type DNA-binding domain. The gene, termed ctg1, encodes a novel protein (159 amino acid residues) with a leucine zipper-like sequence and contains a 7-bp Le.CDC5-binding sequence, 5'GCAATCT3', in its transcribed region downstream of the start codon. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis strongly suggested that intracellular Le.CDC5 binds to this 7-bp sequence on L. edodes chromatin. Binding was most efficient on chromatin from the stipes of mature fruiting bodies. Two Le.CDC5-interaction partners were identified in L. edodes and named CIPA and CIPB. The CIPB protein (127 amino acid residues) binds to a 6-bp sequence with the consensus sequence 5'CAACAC/T/G3'. The ctg1 gene contains nine 6-bp consensus (or consensus-like) sequences, six are in the 5'-upstream region and three in the transcribed region downstream of the start codon. At least two each of the upstream and downstream sequences appear to bind CIPB in vitro. We suggest that Le.CDC5 and CIPB can cooperatively regulate the expression of ctg1.
