Multiple domains in the polyomavirus B enhancer are required for productive infection of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells. 总被引:8,自引:3,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
A point mutation at nucleotide 5258 in the B enhancer of the polyomavirus host range mutant F441 leads to productive infection of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells, which are refractory to infection by wild-type polyomavirus. Specific oligonucleotides were used to construct mutations in two other potentially important domains within the B enhancer of F441 DNA. One of these domains is the binding site for a factor present in nuclear extracts of F9 cells, and the other is a region that has sequence similarity to putative core sequences observed in a number of different viral enhancers. Mutation within either of these two domains, even in the presence of the F441 mutation, was detrimental to polyomavirus enhancer activity in F9 cells, as determined by both transfection and infection assays. 相似文献

A point mutation in the enhancer of polyomavirus host range mutant, PyEC F441, permits productive infection of the murine embryonal carcinoma cell line, F9. This mutation at nucleotide position 5258 introduces a local conformational change in naked viral DNA. The effect of all four possible nucleotide sequences at position 5258 on local DNA conformation was analyzed by gel electrophoresis of fragments produced by ligation of synthetic oligonucleotides having these sequences. The results indicated that both the wild-type and the F441 sequences introduced local structural polymorphism that can lead to DNA bending. The wild-type sequence had a greater effect on DNA curvature than the F441 sequence. The two other sequences at nucleotide 5258 did not appear to introduce detectable amounts of DNA curvature. 相似文献

Nuclear activity from F9 embryonal carcinoma cells binding specifically to the enhancers of wild-type polyoma virus and PyEC mutant DNAs. 总被引:24,自引:3,他引:21 下载免费PDF全文

Although wild-type polyoma virus does not productively infect murine embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, a number of mutants (PyEC mutants) that do infect undifferentiated EC cells have been isolated. All PyEC mutants have DNA sequence alterations within the enhancer region of the viral genome. This report describes an activity present in nuclear extracts of F9 EC cells which, by "footprint" analyses, binds specifically to a small region of about 20 base pairs (nucleotides 5180-5200) within the subregion of the polyoma enhancer designated as the B or beta element. While no difference in binding of factor was detected between wild-type polyoma enhancer and the enhancers of the PyEC mutants, PyF111 and PyF441, which had been selected for productive infection of F9 cells, definite differences between wild-type and mutants were observed in the digestion patterns of their naked DNAs with either DNAase I or exonuclease III. This difference was restricted to the region around the point mutation (nucleotide 5258) common to these mutant DNAs. 相似文献

Two purified factors bind to the same sequence in the enhancer of mouse MHC class I genes: one of them is a positive regulator induced upon differentiation of teratocarcinoma cells 总被引:11,自引:2,他引:9 下载免费PDF全文
The MHC class I murine and beta-2-microglobulin genes are silent in embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells but are induced upon differentiation of these cells. We have previously shown that enhancer-like sequences located in the promoter of the H-2Kb gene are non-functional in F9 and PCC3 cells. We have previously purified a 48 kd protein (KBF1) from a mouse T cell line which binds to a palindromic sequence located in this enhancer and to a similar sequence in the promoter of the beta-2-microglobulin gene. We describe here the purification of a second protein (KBF2, 58 kd) which also binds to this sequence. While both activities are present in differentiated cells, KBF1 binding activity is absent in undifferentiated EC cells, where the palindromic sequence shows no enhancer activity. Upon differentiation, KBF1 binding activity is induced and the palindromic sequence becomes active as an enhancer. Thus, the absence of KBF1 activity in undifferentiated EC cells is at least in part responsible for the lack of expression of H-2 class I and beta-2-microglobulin genes in these cells and suggests that KBF1 activity is regulated during differentiation. 相似文献
