AbstractCytochrome P450 enzymes encoded by MORE AXILLARY GROWTH1 (MAX1)-like genes produce most of the structural diversity of strigolactones during the final steps of strigolactone biosynthesis. The diverse copies of MAX1 in Oryza sativa provide a resource to investigate why plants produce such a wide range of strigolactones. Here we performed in silico analyses of transcription factors and microRNAs that may regulate each rice MAX1, and compared the results with available data about MAX1 expression profiles and genes co-expressed with MAX1 genes. Data suggest that distinct mechanisms regulate the expression of each MAX1. Moreover, there may be novel functions for MAX1 homologues, such as the regulation of flower development or responses to heavy metals. In addition, individual MAX1s could be involved in specific functions, such as the regulation of seed development or wax synthesis in rice. Our analysis reveals potential new avenues of strigolactone research that may otherwise not be obvious.

Abstract The liver is the major organ for metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. Expression of many drug-metabolizing enzymes is not equally distributed throughout the liver: under normal conditions, many of them, including the most relevant members of the cytochrome P450 superfamily, are exclusively expressed in a hepatocyte subpopulation located near branches of the efferent central vein. Activation of different ligand-dependent transcription factors by exogenous compounds stimulates high expression of certain cytochrome P450 isoforms. This process also occurs preferentially in perivenous hepatocytes. The mechanisms, however, which determine the zone-specificity of basal and xenobiotic-induced expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes, have remained largely unknown for decades. Very recently, signaling through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been implicated in the regulation of zonal gene expression in mouse liver. In this review, current knowledge of cytochrome P450 regulation by β-catenin-dependent transcription is summarized and underlying molecular mechanisms are discussed.
