In herpes simplex virus 1, the five alpha genes are induced by alpha-transinducing factor (alpha TIF; VP16), a virion protein, acting in concert with Oct-1 and other cellular proteins on a cis-acting site in the promoter domain of alpha genes. Because alpha TIF is an essential virion protein, its function as an inducer can best be evaluated only by mutating the cis-acting site. Earlier we reported on a series of 17 mutations in and around the cis-acting site of a 275-bp alpha 27 promoter fused to a reporter gene and recombined into the viral genome. These recombinant viruses were tested in Vero cells in the presence of cycloheximide, and we demonstrated that mutations in the sequence required for Oct-1 binding abolished transactivation whereas mutations in the alpha TIF-dependent GARAT sequence decreased but did not abolish transactivation. We now report that (i) in limited-passage human embryonic lung cells, alpha gene expression from promoters mutated in the GARAT sequences is often higher and more variable than in Vero cells, (ii) in the absence of cycloheximide, the mutant viruses show less significant impairment of reporter gene expression, (iii) Oct-1 can bind either to the overlapping octamer element or to various TAATGARAT sequences with differing degrees of binding strength and these relative binding levels correlate well with levels of gene expression observed in infected cells, (iv) in the cis-acting site upstream of the alpha 4 gene, no degenerate overlapping Oct-1 sequence exists, and therefore in this instance Oct-1 must be binding directly to the TAATGARAT sequence, (v) extension of the alpha 27 promoter by an additional 1,334 bp results in much higher expression of the reporter gene as a result of additional upstream cis-acting sites, and (vi) obliteration of the most proximal Oct-1 binding element within the 275-bp promoter dramatically reduces gene expression even in the presence of the additional upstream cis-acting sites. 相似文献

We have developed a system to study human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) cis-acting promoter elements within the context of the viral genome. A recombinant HCMV (RV134) containing a marker gene (beta-glucuronidase) was used to insert HCMV promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene constructs into the viral genome between open reading frames US9 and US10. Using this system, we have studied the promoters for the early DNA polymerase gene (UL54), the early-late lower matrix phosphoprotein gene (pp65, UL83), and the true late 28-kDa structural phosphoprotein gene (pp28, UL99). Transient-expression assays demonstrated that the pp65 and pp28 promoters are activated earlier and to higher levels than typically observed with the endogenous gene. In contrast, insertion of these promoters into the viral genome resulted in kinetics which mimicked that of the endogenous genes. In addition, we have also tested a variant of the pp28 promoter (d24/26CAT) which is deleted from -609 to -41. This promoter behaved similarly to the wild-type pp28 promoter, indicating that sequences from -40 to +106 are sufficient for conferring true late kinetics. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the viral genome affords a level of regulation on HCMV gene expression that has been previously unrealized. Therefore, these experiments provide a model system for the analysis of cis-acting promoter regulatory elements in the context of the viral genome. 相似文献

The promoter of a gene encoding a ribosome-associated protein of 40 kDa from Arabidopsis thaliana (A-p40) was sequenced and the expression of the gene studied. A-p40 was expressed in the same organs and with the same variations as the eukaryotic elongation factor 1 (eEF1A), another gene coding for a protein involved in translation Arabidopsis plants transformed with a -glucuronidase (GUS) gene driven by the A-p40 promoter confirm that A-p40 is expressed in actively dividing and growing cells. eEF1A promoter-GUS fusions have the same pattern of expression. Comparison of cis-acting elements from A-p40 and eEF1A revealed some common elements. A-p40 promoter deletions and transient gene expression in transfected Arabidopsis protopasts allowed the identification of trap40, a cis-acting element regulating gene expression. Gel retardation experiments indicate that eEF1A and A-p40 are regulated by different cis-acting elements. The role of such elements is discussed. 相似文献

启动子中关键元件的数量、碱基变化等影响着所调控基因的表达模式。本文基于TAIR数据库的基因组序列和表达谱数据,首先通过BLAST比对和表达模式相关性分析,在拟南芥基因组范围内获得一批启动子序列相似程度很高而下游基因表达模式相反的启动子对,进而借助于PLACE顺式元件库,运用PatSearch软件找到这些启动子对中所含顺式元件种类与数量,并通过Culster聚类,GeneDoc和ContigExpress软件分析,获得了15个能影响胁迫条件下基因表达模式的关键顺式元件,这一发现暗示了生物系统利用较少的调控元件构建稳健与复杂的转录调控系统的方式。 相似文献

Osteoblasts are cells of mesodermal origin that play a pivotal role during bone growth and mineralization. The mechanisms governing osteoblast-specific gene expression are still unknown. To understand these mechanisms, we analyzed the cis-acting elements of mouse osteocalcin gene 2 (mOG2), the best-characterized osteoblast-specific gene, by DNA transfection experiments in osteoblastic and nonosteoblastic cell lines and by DNA-binding assays. 5' deletion analysis of an mOG2 promoter-luciferase chimeric gene showed that a region located between -147 and -34 contained most if not all of the regulatory elements required for osteoblast-specific expression. Three different binding sites, called A, B, and C, for factors present in nuclear extracts of osteoblasts were identified in this short promoter by DNase I footprint assays. In gel retardation assays, the A element, located between bp -64 and -47, bound a factor present only in nuclear extracts of osteoblastic cell lines and nonmineralizing primary osteoblasts. The B element, located between bp -110 and -83, bound a ubiquitously expressed factor. The C element, located between bp -146 and -132, bound a factor present only in nuclear extracts of osteoblastic cell lines and nonmineralizing and mineralizing primary osteoblasts. When cloned upstream of a minimum osteocalcin promoter or a heterologous promoter, multimers of the A element strongly increased the activities of these promoters in osteoblastic cell lines at two different stages of differentiation but in no other cell line; we named this element osteocalcin-specific element 1 (OSE1). Multimers of the C element increased the activities of these promoters predominantly in a differentiated osteoblastic cell line; we named this element OSE2. This study demonstrates that two distinct cis-acting elements are responsible for osteoblast expression of mOG2 and provides for the first time a functional characterization of osteoblast-specific cis-acting elements. We speculate that these two elements may be important at several stages of osteoblast differentiation. 相似文献
