MeSH headings : Cell Nucleus / metabolism; Plants / genetics; Promoter Regions, Genetic; Regulatory Sequences, Nucleic Acid; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Transcription, Genetic
TL;DR:
A minimal gene regulatory network typically consists of an input signal receptor and a transduction pathway linking the extracellular environment with intracellular targets, a core complex of transacting regulatory proteins and relevant cis-acting DNA sequences, and a subsequent molecular output from the target genes.

Tobacco ribosomal DNA spacer element stimulates amplification and expression of heterologous genes
Nature Biotechnology, 18(12), 1303–1306.
author keywords: gene amplification; enhanced transcription; protein expression; transgenic plants; recombinant proteins
MeSH headings : Acetolactate Synthase / genetics; Acetolactate Synthase / metabolism; Base Sequence; DNA, Ribosomal Spacer / genetics; Drug Resistance; Gene Amplification; Gene Expression; Herbicides / pharmacology; Molecular Sequence Data; Plants, Genetically Modified; Plants, Toxic; Recombinant Proteins / biosynthesis; Recombinant Proteins / genetics; Tobacco / genetics; Transcription, Genetic; Transgenes
TL;DR:
It is shown that the cis-acting genetic element aps (amplification-promoting sequence), isolated from the nontranscribed spacer region of tobacco ribosomal DNA (rDNA), increases the level of expression of recombinant proteins.
