We have determined the sequence of 2400 base pairs upstream from the human pseudo alpha globin (psi alpha) gene, and for comparison, 1100 base pairs of DNA within and upstream from the chimpanzee psi alpha gene. The region upstream from the promoter of the psi alpha gene shows no significant homology to the intergenic regions of the adult alpha 2 and alpha 1 globin genes. The chimpanzee gene has a coding defect in common with the human psi alpha gene, showing that the product of this gene, if any, was inactivated before the divergence of human and chimpanzee. However the chimpanzee gene contains a normal ATG initiation codon in contrast to the human gene which has GTG as the initiation codon. The psi alpha genes of both human and chimpanzee are flanked by the same Alu family member. The structure and position of this repeat have not been altered since the divergence of human and chimpanzee, and it is at least as well conserved as its immediate flanking sequence. Comparing human and chimpanzee, the 300 bp Alu repeat has accumulated only two base substitutions and one length mutation; the adjacent 300 bp flanking region has accumulated five base substitutions and twelve length mutations. 相似文献

Point mutations in G gamma and A gamma globin gene promoters are associated with increased production of G gamma and A gamma globin, respectively. To determine whether an upstream promoter mutation could account for elevated A gamma in a Black adolescent with A gamma-beta+-HPFH and sickle cell trait, we cloned the 13 kb BglII fragment containing both gamma genes into phage lambda vector EMBL3. For one clone, the A gamma upstream promoter showed no hybridization to a 19 bp oligonucleotide whose sequence centered at -117. A gamma promoter sequence data for this mutant clone revealed a 13 bp deletion which eliminated the A gamma distal CCAAT box. Amplified A gamma genomic DNA of this and a similar case showed hybridization to both deletion-mutant and normal oligonucleotide probes. We propose that this 13 bp deletion removes part of the binding site for a repressor protein which is abundant in adult erythroid cells. 相似文献

The Greek form of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is associated with a point mutation immediately upstream of the distal of the two CCAAT elements of the A gamma-globin gene. Three proteins present in nuclear extracts of erythroleukemia cells bind to this CCAAT region and contact the nucleotide mutated in Greek HPFH. The ubiquitous CCAAT-binding factor CP1 interacts preferentially with the proximal CCAAT sequence. An erythroid cell-specific factor, referred to as NF-E, binds with a higher affinity to the distal CCAAT region and interacts only with sequences flanking the CCAAT motif. The third protein is the vertebrate homologue of the sea urchin CCAAT displacement protein and recognizes sequences in both CCAAT elements and their flanking sequences. While the point mutation in Greek HPFH slightly strengthens the binding of CP1 and the CCAAT displacement protein, the same base change strongly reduces the binding of NF-E to the distal CCAAT region, suggesting a possible role of NF-E in the repression of gamma-globin genes in adult erythroid cells. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the beta globin gene cluster of the prosimian Galago crassicaudatus has been determined. A total sequence spanning 41,101 bp contains and links together previously published sequences of the five galago beta-like globin genes (5'-epsilon-gamma-psi eta-delta-beta-3'). A computer-aided search for middle interspersed repetitive sequences identified 10 LINE (L1) elements, including a 5' truncated repeat that is orthologous to the full-length L1 element found in the human epsilon-gamma intergenic region. SINE elements that were identified included one Alu type I repeat, four Alu type II repeats, and two methionine tRNA-derived Monomer (type III) elements. Alu type II and Monomer sequences are unique to the galago genome. Structural analyses of the cluster sequence reveals that it is relatively A+T rich (about 62%) and regions with high G+C content are associated primarily with globin coding regions. Comparative analyses with the beta globin cluster sequences of human, rabbit, and mouse reveal extensive sequence homologies in their genic regions, but only human, galago, and rabbit sequences share extensive intergenic sequence homologies. Divergence analyses of aligned intergenic and flanking sequences from orthologous human, galago, and rabbit sequences show a gradation in the rate of nucleotide sequence evolution along the cluster where sequences 5' of the epsilon globin gene region show the least sequence divergence and sequences just 5' of the beta globin gene region show the greatest sequence divergence. 相似文献

The locus activating region (LAR), contained within 30 kb of chromatin flanking the human beta-globin gene cluster, has recently been shown to be essential for high level beta-globin gene expression. To determine the effect of fragments containing LAR sequences on globin gene expression, mRNA from a marked gamma-globin gene linked to LAR fragments was assayed in stably transfected K562 erythroleukemia cells. DNaseI hypersensitive site II (HS II), located 10.9 kb upstream of the epsilon-globin gene, was required for high level gamma-globin gene expression. We also showed that a 46 bp enhancer element within HS II was necessary and sufficient for the increased gamma-globin gene expression observed with hemin induced erythroid maturation of K562 cells. These results localize a distant regulatory element important for activation of globin genes during human erythroid cell maturation. 相似文献
