We have identified in and around the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer two apparently distinct negative regulatory elements which repress immunoglobulin H enhancer, simian virus 40 enhancer, and heterologous promoter activity in fibroblasts but not in myeloma cells. We propose that in nonlymphoid cells, negative regulatory elements prevent activation of the immunoglobulin H enhancer by ubiquitous stimulatory trans-acting factors. 相似文献

Octamer motifs contribute to the function and tissue specificity of immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain gene promoters and the heavy-chain enhancer. A variant octamer-binding site within a conserved region of the human kappa light-chain gene enhancer which contributes to the function of this enhancer has been identified. 相似文献

We have begun to purify and characterize several proteins which bind to the mouse immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer to understand the molecular interactions important for enhancer activity. Three proteins which bind to different sites on the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer have been chromatographically separated and partially purified. One protein binds a site which has not been reported previously and does not bind to other reported protein-binding sites on the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer. Binding-site boundaries for the three partially purified proteins have been precisely mapped by methylation interference, DNase I footprinting, and orthophenanthroline/copper chemical nuclease footprinting. We have also characterized these three proteins with respect to dissociation rate constants. 相似文献

The tissue-specific expression of immunoglobulin genes can be partially explained by a requirement for activating factors found only in B lymphocytes and their derivatives. However, loss of immunoglobulin expression upon fusion of an immunoglobulin-producing myeloma cell with a T lymphoma cell (BW5147) or fibroblast (L cell) suggests that negatively acting factors also play a role in the tissue specificity of immunoglobulin genes. Expression of a cloned immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene introduced into myeloma cells was suppressed after fusion of the myeloma transformants with BW5147. The presence of either the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer or promoter conferred suppression, under similar conditions, upon a heterologous gene that is normally expressed in both B and T lymphocytes. These immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene control regions, or gene modifications induced by them, are subject to negative control by T-lymphocyte-derived factors. 相似文献

We have analyzed the effect of defined mutations in the mouse immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer after introduction into the germline of transgenic mice. We have tested a mutation of the enhancer octamer motif, a double mutation of the octamer motif and the microB-site, and a triple mutation in the microE2, microE3 and microE4-sites. All constructs are expressed in the spleen of transgenic mice. Furthermore, expression is exclusively detectable in lymphoid organs and not in several nonlymphoid tissues. Whereas mutations in the microE-sites have a more pronounced effect on transgene activity in thymocytes as compared to bone marrow and spleen cells, the octamer/microB double mutation shows significantly reduced expression levels only in B-cells. Finally, our results demonstrate that the intronic heavy-chain enhancer element does not contribute to the increase steady state levels of heavy-chain mRNA after stimulation of spleen cells with LPS. 相似文献
