“…However, there is no experimental evidence to determine the impact of NobZIP1 on the regulation of its key target genes, and hence, we carried out chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to investigate the regulatory role of NobZIP1 on the expression of other genes. ChIP analysis revealed that NobZIP1 regulates the expression of key genes involved in fatty acid, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism, such as ACBP [acyl–coenzyme A (CoA)–binding protein] ( 24 ), KAS [3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase] ( 25 ), LC-FACS (long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase) ( 26 ), LPAAT ( 26 ), and CPS (putative capsular polysaccharide synthesis gene) ( 11 ), and UGDH ( 27 ), the key genes involved in cell wall carbohydrate polymer metabolism (Fig. 3, A to F).…”
