Expression profiles of taxol-biosynthesis-related genes in six overexpression cell lines. Expression of DBAT and T5H genes, which encoded taxol biosynthesis enzymes, were certificated to be controlled by W-boxes in their promoters. Promoter of TcERF12 and TcERF15, which were regulators of taxol biosynthesis, also contained W-boxes. The expression levels of taxol-biosynthesis-related genes were determined by qRT-PCR. Actin was used as reference gene, and each experiment was conducted three repeats.
