Binding of the C6-zinc cluster protein, AFLR, to the promoters of aflatoxin pathway biosynthesis genes in Aspergillus parasiticus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AFLR is a Zn2Cys6-type sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that is thought to be necessary for expression of most of the genes in the aflatoxin pathway gene cluster in Aspergillus parasiticus and A. flavus, and the sterigmatocystin gene cluster in A. nidulans. However, it was not known whether AFLR bound to the promoter regions of each of the genes in the cluster. Recently, A. nidulans AFLR was shown to bind to the motif 5′-TCGN5CGA-3′. In the present study, we examined the binding of AFLR to promoter regions of 11 genes in the A. parasiticus cluster. Based on electrophoretic mobility shift assays, the genes nor1, pksA, adhA, norA, ver1, omtA, ordA, and, vbs, had at least one 5′-TCGN5CGA-3′ binding site within 200 bp of the translation start site, and pksA and ver1 had an additional binding site further upstream. Although the promoter region of avnA lacked this motif, AFLR bound weakly to the sequence 5′-TCGCAGCCCGG-3′ at −110 bp. One region in the promoter of the divergently transcribed genes aflR/aflJ bound weakly to AFLR even though it contained a site with at most only 7 bp of the 5′-TCGN5CGA-3′ motif. This partial site may be recognized by a monomeric form of AFLR. Based on a comparison of 16 possible sites, the preferred binding sequence was 5′-TCGSWNNSCGR-3′. 相似文献

The biologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), regulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Production of 1,25(OH)2D3 is catalysed by the enzyme 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1). Though highly expressed in the kidney, the CYP27B1 gene is also expressed in non-renal tissues including bone. It is hypothesised that local production of 1,25(OH)2D3 by osteoblasts plays an autocrine or paracrine role. The aim of this study was to investigate what factors regulate expression of the CYP27B1 gene in osteoblast cells. ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast cells were transiently transfected with plasmid constructs containing the 5′-flanking sequence of the human CYP27B1 gene fused to a luciferase reporter gene. Cells were treated with either parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25(OH)2D3, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and luciferase activity was measured 24 h later. The results showed that 1,25(OH)2D3 did not alter expression of the reporter construct, however treatment with PTH, IGF-1 and TGF-β decreased expression by 18, 53 and 58% respectively. The repressive action of TGF-β was isolated to the region between −531 and −305 bp. These data suggest that expression of the 5′-flanking region for the CYP27B1 gene in osteoblast cells may be regulated differently to that previously described in kidney cells. 相似文献

Complex of a mutant ribonuclease T1 (Y4SW) with a non-cognizable ribonucleotide, 2′AMP, has been determined and refined by X-ray diffraction at 1.7 Å resolution. The 2′AMP molecule locates at a new base-binding site which is remote from the guanine-recognition site, where 2′GMP was found to be bound. The nucleotide adopts the anti conformation of the glycosidic bond and C3′-exo sugar pucker. There exists a single hydrogen bond between the adenine base and the enzyme, and, therefore, the site found is apparently a non-specific binding site. The results indicate that the binding of 2′AMP to the guanine-recognition site is weaker than that to the new binding site. 相似文献
