Fruit fly FTZ-F1, silkworm BmFTZ-F1, and mouse embryonal long terminal repeat-binding protein are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, which recognizes the same sequence, 5'-PyCAAGGPyCPu-3'. Among these proteins, a 30-amino-acid basic region abutting the C-terminal end of the zinc finger motif, designated the FTZ-F1 box, is conserved. Gel mobility shift competition by various mutant peptides of the DNA-binding region revealed that the FTZ-F1 box as well as the zinc finger motif is involved in the high-affinity binding of FTZ-F1 to its target site. Using a gel mobility shift matrix competition assay, we demonstrated that the FTZ-F1 box governs the recognition of the first three bases, while the zinc finger region recognizes the remaining part of the binding sequence. We also showed that the DNA-binding region of FTZ-F1 recognizes and binds to DNA as a monomer. Occurrence of the FTZ-F1 box sequence in other members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily raises the possibility that these receptors constitute a unique subfamily which binds to DNA as a monomer. 相似文献

Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) and M-MuLV-derived retroviral vectors are not expressed in early mouse embryos or in embryonal carcinoma cells. M-MuLV-derived mutants or M-MuLV-related variants which transduce the neomycin phosphotransferase gene can, however, induce drug resistance in embryonal carcinoma cells with high efficiency. In this study we investigated the sequences critical for retroviral gene expression in two different embryonal carcinoma cell lines, F9 and PCC4. We show that two synergistically acting sequence elements mediate expression in embryonal carcinoma cells. One of these is located within the U3 region of the viral long terminal repeat, and the second one is in the 5' untranslated region of the retrovirus. The latter element, characterized by a single point mutation, affects the level of stable RNA in infected cells, suggesting a regulatory mechanism similar to that of human immunodeficiency virus in human T cells. 相似文献

The Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV) repressor binding site (RBS) is a major determinant of restricted expression of MLV in undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and mouse embryonal carcinoma (EC) lines. We show here that the RBS repressed expression when placed outside of its normal MLV genome context in a self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vector. In the lentiviral vector genome context, the RBS repressed expression of a modified MLV long terminal repeat (MNDU3) promoter, a simian virus 40 promoter, and three cellular promoters: ubiquitin C, mPGK, and hEF-1a. In addition to repressing expression in undifferentiated ES and EC cell lines, we show that the RBS substantially repressed expression in primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts, primary mouse bone marrow stromal cells, whole mouse bone marrow and its differentiated progeny after bone marrow transplant, and several mouse hematopoietic cell lines. Using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, we show that binding factor A, the trans-acting factor proposed to convey repression by its interaction with the RBS, is present in the nuclear extracts of all mouse cells we analyzed where expression was repressed by the RBS. In addition, we show that the RBS partially repressed expression in the human hematopoietic cell line DU.528 and primary human CD34(+) CD38(-) hematopoietic cells isolated from umbilical cord blood. These findings suggest that retroviral vectors carrying the RBS are subjected to high rates of repression in murine and human cells and that MLV vectors with primer binding site substitutions that remove the RBS may yield more-effective gene expression. 相似文献
