Structure of the chromosomal gene for human serum prealbumin 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The human prealbumin gene has been cloned and its complete nucleotide sequence determined. The gene has a size of about 6.9 kb and is composed of four exons and three introns. Two Alu family sequences having opposing polarity were found in introns. In the 5'-flanking region, we found two overlapping sequences which have extensive homology to the glucocorticoid-responsive element. Three sequences identical with the enhancer core sequence were identified in introns and the 3'-flanking region. Unusual tandem repeats of a sequence, TTTTG, were also found in the 5'-flanking region and introns. 相似文献

Short DNA sequence motifs have been identified in viral and cellular enhancers which represent the binding sites for a variety of trans- acting factors. One such HeLa cell factor, EBP1, has been purified and shown to bind to sequences in the SV40 enhancer. The PRDII element in the human beta-interferon gene regulatory element (IRE) shows strong sequence similarity to the EBP1 binding site in the SV40 enhancer. We demonstrate here that EBP1 binds to its sites in the SV40 enhancer and IRE in a similar manner, making base specific contacts over one complete turn of the DNA double helix. Mutational analysis of the EBP1 sites in the IRE and SV40 enhancer has identified the DNA sequence requirements necessary for specific EBP1/DNA complex formation. In addition, 34 DNA sequences related to the EBP1 binding site were analysed for their ability to bind EBP1. Sequences constituting high affinity binding sites possess the sequence 5'-GG(N)6CC-3'. Single base pair changes in the region between the conserved Gs and Cs can generally be tolerated although it is clear that these intervening bases contribute to binding affinity. Mutations in the recognition site which could lead to gross structural changes in the DNA abolish EBP1 binding. 相似文献

Sequence and expression of a novel murine interferon alpha gene--homology with enhancer elements in the regulatory region of the gene 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A murine interferon gene (MuIFN alpha) has been isolated from a cosmid library. The sequence of a 1.2-kb HindIII-PstI fragment revealed a new MuIFN alpha gene which has not yet been described and which was termed MuIFN alpha 7. The coding sequence produced biologically active IFN when expressed in monkey cells under the control of an SV40 promoter. A comparison of the MuIFN alpha 7 gene with the known interferon genes in their coding and flanking sequences shows homologies between enhancer elements found in the 5' upstream region of the coding gene. The core element common to all known viral enhancers, GTGG(AAA/TTT)G is repeated four times in the MuIFN alpha 7 5'-flanking region, as in all known MuIFN alpha genes. 相似文献

The rat mast cell protease gene, RMCP II, is specifically expressed in the mucosal subclass of rat mast cells. We show here that the 5'-flanking region of this gene contains a mast cell-specific enhancer that directs preferential expression of a linked reporter gene (human growth hormone) transfected into rat basophilic leukemia cells. A DNA fragment containing the enhancer sequence is capable of binding specifically to mast cell nuclear trans-acting factors. The sequence of this enhancer element contains a region of homology to a consensus core sequence present in the enhancer region of the pancreatic protease genes. 相似文献
