vHNF1 and HNF1 are two nuclear proteins that bind to an essential element in the promoter proximal sequences of albumin and of many other liver-specific genes. HNF1 predominates in hepatocytes but is absent in dedifferentiated hepatoma cells. These cells contain vHNF1 but fail to express most of the liver traits. In the present work we have isolated cDNA clones for vHNF1 and found that it is a homeoprotein homologous to HNF1 in regions important for DNA binding. Unexpectedly, vHNF1 transactivated the albumin promoter in transfection experiments. Like the HNF1 mRNA, the vHNF1 message was found in kidney, liver and intestine although in different proportions. The fact that vHNF1 and HNF1 readily form heterodimers in vitro and the biochemical characterization of vHNF1/HNF1 heterodimers in nuclear extracts of kidney, liver and several cell lines, strongly argue that such heterodimers exist in vivo. Our results raise the possibility that heterodimerization between homeoproteins could be a common phenomenon in higher eukaryotes, which may have implications in the regulatory network sustained between these factors. 相似文献

Phenobarbital induces cytochrome P-450- and cytochrome P-448-dependent monooxygenases in rat hepatoma cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The induction by phenobarbital (PB) of aldrin epoxidase (AE) and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), markers of cytochrome P-450- and cytochrome P-448-dependent monooxygenases, was studied in cell lines derived from Reuber H35 rat hepatoma which differ widely in their degree of differentiation. The following results were obtained: (1) PB induced AE 2-6-fold and AHH 2-4-fold in the differentiated clones, Fao, 2sFou, and C2Rev7 during an exposure period of 72 h. The barbiturate increased AHH but not AE in the dedifferentiated clone H5, the poorly differentiated line H4IIEC3/T, and in the well differentiated line H4IIEC3/G-. (2) Continuous presence of the barbiturate was required for maintaining the induction of the two monooxygenase activities in C2Rev7 cells. (3) Maximum induction of AE was observed at a PB concentration of 1.5-3.0 mM. (4) The effects of 7,8-benzoflavone on AHH-activities induced by phenobarbital in C2Rev7 and H5 cells suggested that they are mediated by cytochrome P-450- and cytochrome P-448-dependent monooxygenase forms, respectively. Thus, the flavonoid had only a slight inhibitory effect on PB-induced AHH in C2Rev7 cells, but strongly inhibited PB-induced AHH in H5 cells. The induction of AE and of 7,8-benzoflavone-inhibitable AHH in 2sFou cells indicated that PB is capable of inducing cytochromes P-450 and cytochrome P-448 in the same cell. 相似文献

Proteolytic processing of the Ada protein that repairs DNA O6-methylguanine residues in E. coli 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
I A Teo 《Mutation research》1987,183(2):123-127
In extracts of E. coli treated with an adapting regime of MNNG, the induced 39kd Ada protein having O6-MeG-DNA methyltransferase activity is processed to a 19kd active domain corresponding to the C-terminal half of the intact protein. This proteolytic processing has been followed on Western immunoblots using antisera raised against the 19kd fragment. Initial processing at 25 degrees C or 37 degrees C mainly generates a fragment of mol. wt. 24kd which then undergoes a slower second cleavage to generate the 19kd active domain. Preceding this second cleavage site is a sequence of amino acids Thr- -Gly-Met-Thr- -Lys that also occurs at another site in the N-terminal half of the 39kd methyltransferase. It is proposed that this sequence is a recognition site for proteolytic activity. On the basis of cleavage of the Ada protein at either one or both of these sites, fragments may be generated of mol. wt. 24kd and 19kd containing the active site for O6-methylguanine and O4-methylthymine repair, and 15kd and 20kd, containing the active site for methylphosphotriester repair. These observations explain previous reports by others on the existence in cell extracts of multiple methyltransferase activities of different sizes recognizing O-methyl lesions in DNA. The cellular protease involved is resistant to a wide range of protease inhibitors. 相似文献
