Characterization of human glucocorticoid receptor complexes formed with DNA fragments containing or lacking glucocorticoid response elements

Sucrose density gradient shift assays were used to study the interactions of human glucocorticoid receptors (GR) with small DNA fragments either containing or lacking glucocorticoid response element (GRE) DNA consensus sequences. When crude cytoplasmic extracts containing [3H]triamcinolone acetonide [( 3H]TA) labeled GR were incubated with unlabeled DNA under conditions of DNA excess, a GRE-containing DNA fragment obtained from the 5' long terminal repeat of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV LTR) formed a stable 12-16S complex with activated, but not nonactivated, [3H]TA receptor. By contrast, if the cytosols were treated with calf thymus DNA-cellulose to deplete non-GR-DNA-binding proteins prior to heat activation, a smaller 7-10S complex was formed with the MMTV LTR DNA fragment. When similar experiments were conducted under conditions of large receptor excess, using 3' [32P]-MMTV LTR DNA, the trace quantity of DNA formed a stable 10-14S complex with DNA-cellulose pretreated cytosols or with untreated cytosols in the presence of excess Escherichia coli competitor DNA. If trace quantities of the 3' [32P]-MMTV LTR DNA were incubated with untreated crude cytosols, much larger complexes were formed, indicating the association of other cytosolic proteins with the MMTV LTR DNA fragment. Activated [3H]TA receptor from DNA-cellulose pretreated cytosols also interacted with two similarly sized fragments from pBR322 DNA, but with lower apparent affinities in the order MMTV LTR DNA fragment much greater than pBR322 fragment containing a single GRE DNA consensus sequence greater than non-GRE-containing pBR322 fragment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Organization of delta-crystallin genes in the chicken.

Double-stranded DNA was synthesized from delta-crystallin mRNA prepared from lens fibers of 15-day-old chick embryos and cloned at the Pst I site of the plasmid pBR322. Using the cloned cDNA and single-stranded cDNA as hybridization probes, a number of genomic DNA fragments containing delta-crystallin gene sequences have been cloned from the partial and complete EcoRI digests of chick brain DNA. One of the clones from the partial digests contains a DNA fragment that consists of four EcoRI fragments of 7.6 kb, 4.0 kb, 2.6 kb, and 0.8 kb. The gene sequences reside in the (5')7.6 kb - 0.8 kb - 4.0 kb (3') fragments. Electron microscopy has provided evidence that the cloned DNA fragment includes the entire gene sequences complementary to delta-crystallin mRNA except for the 3' terminal poly(A) tail, and that the delta-crystallin gene is interrupted by at least 13 intervening sequences. Another clone contains a genomic fragment that consists of two EcoRI fragments of 3.0 kb and 11 kb. The DNA fragment in the latter clone represents a different delta-crystallin gene, as judged by restriction endonuclease mapping and by electron microscopy.

Nucleotide sequence and functional map of pC194, a plasmid that specifies inducible chloramphenicol resistance.

The nucleotide sequence of pC194, a small plasmid from Staphylococcus aureus which is capable of replication in Bacillus subtilis, has been determined. The genetic determinant of chloramphenicol (CAM) resistance, which includes the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) structural gene, the putative promoter and controlling element of this determinant, have been mapped functionally by subcloning a 1,035-nucleotide fragment which specifies the resistance phenotype using plasmid pBR322 as vector. Expression of CAM resistance is autogenously regulated since the 1,035-nucleotide fragment containing the CAT gene sequence and its promoter cloned into pBR322 expresses resistance inducibly in the Escherichia coli host. A presumed controlling element of CAT expression consists of a 37-nucleotide inverted complementary repeat sequence that is located between the -10 and ribosome-loading sequences of the CAT structural gene. Whereas the composite plasmid containing the minimal CAT determinant cloned in pBR322 could not replicate in B. subtilis, ability to replicate in B. subtilis was seen if the fragment cloned included an extension consisting of an additional 300 nucleotides beyond the 5' end of the single pC194 MspI site associated with replication. This 5' extension contained a 120-nucleotide inverted complementary repeat sequence similar to that found in pE194 TaqI fragment B which contains replication sequences of that plasmid. pC194 was found to contain four opening reading frames theoretically capable of coding for proteins with maximum molecular masses, as follows: A, 27,800 daltons; B, 26,200 daltons; C, 15,000 daltons; and D, 9,600 daltons. Interruption or deletion of either frame A or D does not entail loss of ability to replicate or to express CAM resistance, whereas frame B contains the CAT structural gene and frame C contains sequences associated with plasmid replication.     

Identification of the Escherichia coli K-12 cpxA locus as a single gene: construction and analysis of biologically-active cpxA gene fusions

In the accompanying communication we showed that a 2 kb EcoRI-BamHI restriction fragment from the pfkA-rha interval of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome fully complemented a chromosomal cpxA mutation when the fragment was cloned in pBR325. The same fragment cloned in pBR322 lacked any complementing activity. We show here that minicells containing the pBR325 derivative (pRA310) synthesized a 33 kDa polypeptide, designated phi 33, that was not synthesized in minicells containing the pBR322 derivative (pRA311) or either of the parent plasmids. Synthesis of the phi 33 polypeptide did not occur in minicells containing Tn5 insertion alleles of pRA310 that inactivated its cpxA complementing activity. These insertions mapped within the vector cat (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene) sequence immediately adjacent to the EcoRI site of pRA310 and within the 700-800 bp of the cloned EcoRI-BamHI fragment immediately adjacent to the EcoRI site. Tn5 insertions located within the fragment but closer to the BamHI terminus affected neither the cpxA complementing activity of pRA310 nor synthesis of the phi 33 polypeptide in minicells. Plasmid pRA311 could be converted to a plasmid with cpxA complementing activity by cloning into its EcoRI site a restriction fragment containing a hybrid trp-lacUV5 promoter, the lacZ ribosome binding site, and the first eight lacZ codons.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Cloning of Lentinus edodes mitochondrial DNA fragment capable of autonomous replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the higher basidiomycetes Lentinus edodes with a molecular weight of about 69 kb was partially digested with Sau3AI, cloned with plasmid YIp32 (a hybrid of pBR322 and the yeast leu2 gene) and analyzed for sequences capable of autonomous replication (ARSs) in the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One recombinant plasmid was isolated which contained 3.2 kb fragment of the mtDNA with ARS activity. This plasmid (named pSK52) exhibited a high-frequency yeast transformation and was found to be maintained within the cell as an extrachromosomal element. The stability and copy number properties of pSK52 were similar to those of the recombinant plasmid of YIp32 and S. cerevisiae mt-ARS constructed as a reference. Subcloning experiments were carried out to assess the localization of ARS on the above 3.2 kb fragment, revealing that the fragment contains at least two ARSs.     

Structural analysis of a 1.7-kilobase mouse mammary tumor virus-specific RNA

We have detected a mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-specific 1.7-kilobase (kb) polyadenylated RNA in mammary glands of several mouse strains. In BALB/c mice, it is the only MMTV-specific RNA species present. C3H and GR mammary glands and tumors contain, in addition, 3.8- and 7.8-kb MMTV RNAs. Nuclease S1 analysis was performed to map 1.7-kb polyadenylated RNA. It contains predominantly long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences. The 5' end maps approximately 134 nucleotides upstream from the 3' end of the LTR. Colinearity with complete proviral DNA continues to a site about 153 nucleotides downstream from the left (5') LTR. No sequences from the middle part of proviral DNA were found. Colinearity with proviral DNA is resumed 72 nucleotides upstream from the right (3') LTR. The nucleotide sequence in this area is TTCCAGT, which is a splice acceptor consensus sequence. The anatomy of 1.7-kb RNA indicates that it may serve as a messenger for the 36,700-dalton protein encoded by the LTRs of MMTV.
