Identification of human satellite DNA sequences associated with chemically resistant nonhistone polypeptide adducts

A fraction of DNA fragments of highly purified and completely unfolded eukaryotic DNA inevitably remains associated with chemically resistant nonhistone DNA-polypeptide complexes. This fraction can be isolated by nitrocellulose filtration because the polypeptide-associated DNA fragments are retained on nitrocellulose filters while bulk DNA passes through the filters. The fraction of AluI-fragmented DNA from human placenta retained on filters as a result of the binding factors (R-DNA, 12%) represents a subset of genomic sequences with a sequence complexity different from unfractionated DNA and DNA recovered in the filtrate (F-DNA). DNA sequences prevalent in the retained fraction were detected by differential plaque hybridization of a recombinant gt10 library with radiolabeled F- and R-DNA fractions. Several recombinant phages showing much stronger hybridization signals with the R-DNA probe than with the F-DNA probe were selected, plaque-purified and analyzed. Analysis of the inserts of such clones showed that repetitive DNA sequences of the alphoid dimeric and tetrameric family, satellite III and satellite III-like sequences are highly enriched in the retained fraction, which indicates that these sequences specifically attract the polypeptides involved in the tightly bound and resistant complexes. This property of repetitive sequences is of interest since tandemly repetitive sequences have been suggested to code for locus-specific fixation and stabilization of the chromatin fiber in the cell nucleus.by L. ManuelidisThis work contains parts of the Ph.D. thesis of M.P. (University of Giessen).     

The distribution of interspersed repetitive DNA sequences in the human genome

The distribution of interspersed repetitive DNA sequences in the human genome has been investigated, using a combination of biochemical, cytological, computational, and recombinant DNA approaches. "Low-resolution" biochemical experiments indicate that the general distribution of repetitive sequences in human DNA can be adequately described by models that assume a random spacing, with an average distance of 3 kb. A detailed "high-resolution" map of the repetitive sequence organization along 400 kb of cloned human DNA, including 150 kb of DNA fragments isolated for this study, is consistent with this general distribution pattern. However, a higher frequency of spacing distances greater than 9.5 kb was observed in this genomic DNA sample. While the overall repetitive sequence distribution is best described by models that assume a random distribution, an analysis of the distribution of Alu repetitive sequences appearing in the GenBank sequence database indicates that there are local domains with varying Alu placement densities. In situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes indicates that local density domains for Alu placement can be observed cytologically. Centric heterochromatin regions, in particular, are at least 50-fold underrepresented in Alu sequences. The observed distribution for repetitive sequences in human DNA is the expected result for sequences that transpose throughout the genome, with local regions of "preference" or "exclusion" for integration.     

Cloning and sequencing of a copper-containing,topa quinone-containing monoamine oxidase from human placenta

A 4040-bp cDNA was cloned from a human placenta library by screening with a polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragment. The fragment was generated from the library using primers corresponding to conserved sequences encompassing the topa quinone (TPQ) cofactor sites of the copper-containing proteins, bovine serum amine oxidase (BSAO) and human kidney diamine oxidase (DAO). The cloned cDNA contains a coding sequence from positions 161 to 2449. Between bases 2901 and 2974, in a very long 1591-bp 3′-untranslated region, there is a G/A-rich region in the minus strand, which contains a (AGG)₅ tandem repeat. The human placenta cDNA sequence and its translated amino acid sequence are 84% and 81% identical to the corresponding BSAO sequences, while the identities for the placenta sequences and those for human kidney DAO are 60% and 41%, respectively. The TPQ consensus nucleotide and protein sequences are identical for the placenta enzyme and BSAO, but the corresponding sequences for human kidney DAO are nonidentical. Three His residues that have been identified as Cu(II) ligands in other amine oxidases are conserved in the human placenta amine oxidase protein sequence. It was concluded that the placenta cDNA open-reading frame codes for a copper-containing, TPQ-containing monoamine oxidase. A putative 19-amino acid signal peptide was identified for human placenta amine oxidase. The resulting mature protein would be composed of 744 amino acids, and would have a M_r of 82 525. Comparison of the human placenta amine oxidase with DNA sequences found in GenBank suggests that the gene for this enzyme is located in the q21 region of human chromosome 17, near the BRCA1 gene.     

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to interphase cell nuclei in suspension allows flow cytometric analysis of chromosome content and microscopic analysis of nuclear organization

Summary Fluorescence hybridization to interphase nuclei in liquid suspension allows quantification of chromosome-specific DNA sequences using flow cytometry and the analysis of the three-dimensional positions of these sequences in the nucleus using fluorescence microscopy. The three-dimensional structure of nuclei is substantially intact after fluorescence hybridization in suspension, permitting the study of nuclear organization by optical sectioning. Images of the distribution of probe and total DNA fluroescence within a nucleus are collected at several focal planes by quantitative fluorescence microscopy and image processing. These images can be used to reconstruct the three-dimensional organization of the target sequences in the nucleus. We demonstrate here the simultaneous localization of two human chromosomes in an interphase nucleus using two probe labeling schemes (AAF and biotin). Alternatively, dual-beam flow cytometry is used to quantify the amount of bound probe and total DNA content. We demonstrate that the intensity of probe-linked fluorescence following hybridization is proportional to the amount of target DNA over a 100-fold range in target content. This was shown using four human/hamster somatic cell hybrids carrying different numbers of human chromosomes and diploid and tetraploid human cell lines hybridized with human genomic DNA. We also show that populations of male, female, and XYY nuclei can be discriminated by measuring their fluores-cence intensity following hybridization with a Y-chromosome-specific repetitive probe. The delay in the increase in Y-specific fluorescence until the end of S-phase is consistent with the results recorded in previous studies indicating that these sequences are among the last to replicate in the genome. A chromosome-17-specific repetitive probe is used to demonstrate that target sequences as small as one megabase (Mb) can be detected using fluorescence hybridization and flow cytometry.     

Isolation and identification of a novel tandemly repeated DNA sequence in the centromeric region of human chromosome 8

EcoRI subclones, designated as 50E1 and 50E4, were independently obtained from a cosmid clone previously mapped to the centromeric region of human chromosome 8. Southern blot hybridization analyses suggested that both subclones contain repetitive DNA sequences different from the chromosome 8 specific alphoid DNA. DNA sequence analysis of the 704 bp insert of 50E1 and the 1, 962 bp insert of 50E4 revealed that both inserts contained tandemly repeated units of 220 bp. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies confirmed these two subclones to be specifically located on the centromeric region of chromosome 8. A 220 bp consensus sequence, derived from nine monomeric repeats, showed no significant homology to alphoid consensus sequences or to other currently known human centromeric DNA sequence. Furthermore, no significant homology was found with any other DNA sequence deposited in the EMBL or GenBank databases, indicating that this chromosome 8 specific repetitive DNA sequence is novel. From slot blot experiments it was estimated that 0.013% of the human genome comprises 1,750 of these monomeric repeats, residing on the centromeric region of chromosome 8 in tandem array(s).     

Sequence-specific gene cleavage in intact mammalian cells by 125I-labeled triplex-forming oligonucleotides conjugated with nuclear localization signal peptide

Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFO) are designed to bind sequence specifically to their DNA targets without a significant disturbance of the double helix. They have been proposed to deliver DNA-reactive agents to specific DNA sequences for gene targeting applications. We suggested the use of 125I-labeled TFO for delivery of the energy of radioiodine decay to specific genes. This approach is called antigene radiotherapy. Here we demonstrate the ability of 125I-labeled TFO to produce sequence-specific breaks within a target in the human mdrl gene in cultured cells. TFO and TFO conjugated with a nuclear localization signal peptide (NLS) were delivered into cells using cationic liposomes. This was done either alone or in the presence of an excess of a "ballast" oligonucleotide with an unrelated sequence. In all cases, nuclear localization of TFO and survival of the cells after treatment has been confirmed. Breaks in the gene target were analyzed by restriction enzyme digestion of the DNA recovered from the TFO-treated cells followed by Southern hybridization with DNA probes flanking the target sequence. We have found that TFO/NLS conjugates cleave the target in a concentration-dependent manner regardless of the presence of the "ballast" oligonucleotide. In contrast, TFO without NLS cleaved the target only in the presence of an excess of the "ballast." We hypothesize that TFO and TFO/NLS are delivered into the nucleus by different pathways. These results provide a new insight into the mechanism of intracellular transport of oligonucleotides and open new avenues for improvement of the efficacy of antigene therapies.     

Isolation and characterization of human DNA fragments with nucleotide sequence homologies with the simian virus 40 regulatory region.

A recombinant library of human DNA sequences was screened with a segment of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA that spans the viral origin of replication. One hundred and fifty phage were isolated that hybridized to this probe. Restriction enzyme and hybridization analyses indicated that these sequences were partially homologous to one another. Direct DNA sequencing of two such SV40-hybridizing segments indicated that this was not a highly conserved family of sequences, but rather a set of DNA fragments that contained repetitive regions of high guanine plus cytosine content. These sequences were not members of the previously described Alu family of repeats and hybridized to SV40 DNA more strongly than do Alu family members. Computer analyses showed that the human DNA segments contained multiple homologies with sequences throughout the SV40 origin region, although sequences on the late side of the viral origin contained the strongest cross-hybridizing sequences. Because of the number and complexity of the matches detected, we could not determine unambiguously which of the many possible heteroduplexes between these DNAs was thermodynamically most favored. No hybridization of these human DNA sequences to any other segment of the SV40 genome was detected. In contrast, the human DNA segments isolated cross-hybridized with many sequences within the human genome. We tested for the presence of several functional domains on two of these human DNA fragments. One SV40-hybridizing fragment, SVCR29, contained a sequence which enhanced the efficiency of thymidine kinase transformation in human cells by approximately 20-fold. This effect was seen in an orientation-independent manner when the sequence was present at the 3' end of the chicken thymidine kinase gene. We propose that this segment of DNA contains a sequence analogous to the 72-base-pair repeats of SV40. The existence of such an "activator" element in cellular DNA raises the possibility that families of these sequences may exist in the mammalian genome.
