It is important to explore the regulatory mechanism of phosphorus homeostasis in fish, which help avoid the risk of P toxicity and prevent P pollution in aquatic environment. The present study obtained the full-length cDNA sequences and the promoters of three SLC20 members ( slc20a1a , slc20a1b and slc20a2 ) from grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella , and explored their responses to inorganic phosphorus (Pi). Grass carp SLC20s proteins possessed conservative domains and amino acid sites relevant with phosphorus transport. The mRNAs of three slc20s appeared in the nine tissues, but their expression levels were tissue-dependent. The binding sites of three transcription factors (SREBP1, NRF2 and VDR) were predicted on the slc20s promoters. The mutation and EMSA analysis indicated that: (1) SREBP1 binding site (-783/-771 bp) negatively but VDR (-260/-253 bp) binding site positively regulated the activities of slc20a1a promoter; (2) SREBP1 (-1187/-1178 bp), NRF2 (-572/-561 bp) and VDR(615/-609 bp) binding sites positively regulated the activities of slc20a1b promoter; (3) SREBP1 (-987/-977 bp), NRF2 (-1469/-1459 bp) and VDR (-1124/-1117 bp) binding sites positively regulated the activities of the slc20a2 promoter. Moreover, Pi incubation significantly reduced the activities of three slc20s promoters, and Pi-induced transcriptional inactivation of slc20s promoters abolished after the mutation of the VDR element but not SREBP1 and NRF2 elements. Pi incubation down-regulated the mRNA levels of three slc20s . For the first time, our study elucidated the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of SLC20s and their responses to Pi, which offered new insights into the Pi homeostatic regulation and provided the basis for reducing phosphorus discharge into the waters.
