水稻OsEBP-89基因的表达受乙烯(ET)、脱落酸(ABA)、茉莉素等激素和干旱、低温等逆境胁迫处理的诱导.本研究中,克隆该基因启动子和预测应答胁迫与激素信号相关顺式作用元件的基础上,通过农杆菌注射法介导的瞬时表达证实了该启动子在烟草叶片中驱动GUS报告基因的表达受茉莉素的诱导.为了进-步确定该启动子中应答茉莉素信号的重要DNA区域,对该启动子进行了-系列的缺失突变,并将相关的缺失启动子片段与GUS报告基因融合.烟草叶片中GUS报告基因瞬时表达分析表明,该启动子中位于-1200bp和-800bp的碱基是该基因应答茉莉素信号的必需DNA区域,其中在-1127bp处有一个G—box元件;结合已有的研究结果,发现应答茉莉素信号的必需DNA区域不同于该基因应答ACC处理的必需DNA区域(在-562bp处存在一个ERE元件).总之,本研究结果有助于探讨该基因应答不同胁迫信号表达的分子机制.  相似文献

我们已经提过,在人生长激素基因周围是否存在着一些序列,它们使生长激素基因可以被糖皮质激素所诱导。用同转化法将含有人生长激素基因的重纽克隆引入鼠成纤维细胞染色体,在有糖皮质激素存在下,同转化体可被诱导出8到5倍的人生长激素mRNA,对人生长激素蛋白的分泌也有相似的诱导。诱导所需的DNA序列位于DNA5’端,有500个核苷酸。把该DNA6’端片段融合到一个非激素敏感基因的结构基因中,例如胸苷激酶,可使该基因对糖皮质激素的诱导产生反应。  相似文献

Glucocorticoids decrease type I procollagen synthesis by decreasing the steady state levels of procollagen mRNAs and mRNA synthesis. The present studies were undertaken to determine the functional sequences of the pro alpha 2(I) collagen gene required for the glucocorticoid-mediated decrease of type I procollagen mRNA synthesis. Embryonic mouse fibroblasts were stably transfected with the pR40 DNA CAT construct containing the 5' flanking region fragment from -2048 to +54 and the intronic fragment from +418 to +1524 of the mouse alpha 2(I) collagen gene. Dexamethasone treatment of these pR40 transfected fibroblasts resulted in a significant decrease in CAT activity which agrees with the glucocorticoid-mediated decrease of the steady state levels of type I procollagen mRNAs. To determine the possible role of the first intron fragment in the dexamethasone-mediated decrease of CAT activity, pR36, a CAT plasmid containing the first intron fragment and the SV40 early promoter, was transfected into mouse fibroblasts and treated with dexamethasone. No significant decrease in CAT activity was observed. The dexamethasone-mediated response was then localized within the 5' flanking region by preparing a series of constructs containing internal deletions and transfecting these plasmids into mouse fibroblasts. The regions -2048 to -981 and -506 to -351 were required for the dexamethasone response of gene activity. However, the DNA stretch from -981 to -506 was not. Analysis of the DNA sequences of these regions revealed a single GRE at -1023 to -1018 and a modified doublet at -873 to -856.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) mRNA in HuH-7 human hepatoma cells is elevated by the addition of dexamethasone to the culture medium. To locate the DNA region involved in hormonal regulation of the AFP gene, we constructed recombinant plasmids in which various lengths of the 5'-flanking sequence of the human AFP gene were fused to the CAT gene. Various cell lines were transfected with the recombinant plasmids, incubated with or without 3 x 10(-6) M dexamethasone, and then assayed for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression. In hepatoma cells that produce AFP, the dexamethasone treatment resulted in the stimulated chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression when the transfected plasmids contained 169 base pairs (bp) or longer AFP 5'-flanking sequence. No dexamethasone effect was observed when the 5'-flanking sequence was less than 98 bp long. The dexamethasone stimulation was effectively suppressed by the glucocorticoid antagonist RU486, indicating that this effect is mediated by glucocorticoid receptors. The 71-bp region between positions -169 and -98 contains a nucleotide stretch which is similar to the consensus sequence of the glucocorticoid responsive element (GRE). Partial alterations of this sequence resulted in decreased dexamethasone response. The GRE-containing region stimulated heterologous (SV40) promoter activity in response to dexamethasone treatment in an orientation- and position-independent manner. The GRE and the upstream AFP enhancer function independently from each other.  相似文献

Transcriptional trans-activating function of hepatitis B virus   总被引:43,自引:17,他引:26       下载免费PDF全文
The ability of hepatitis B virus (HBV) to stimulate the expression of a cellular gene was investigated by using a transient-expression system. A plasmid in which the expression of the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) gene had been placed under the control of the DNA sequences that regulate the expression of the human beta-interferon gene was constructed. In Vero cells, cotransfection of the 2.7-kilobase BglII DNA fragment of HBV together with the test plasmid containing the cat gene resulted in stimulation of the expression of the cat gene. This HBV DNA fragment was specific in its trans-activation; no significant stimulation of CAT activity was observed in constructs when the promoter and enhancer elements were derived from the murine sarcoma viral long terminal repeat, Rous sarcoma virus, BK virus, or simian virus 40. Results of subcloning of the HBV DNA fragment indicate that the trans-activating function resides in a 944-base-pair EcoRV-BglII DNA fragment of the HBV genome that contains the X structural gene and its promoter element. Removal of the promoter from the X structural gene resulted in loss of the trans-activating function. A frameshift mutation within the X gene region also eliminated the trans-activating activity. These results suggest that the X antigen could play a role in HBV infections by activating the expression of cellular genes.  相似文献

We have analyzed a series of plasmids in which the sequences located upstream from the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene were linked to the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) gene. Expression of the marker CAT gene in transfected cells clearly demonstrated that sequences preceding the X gene contain an active promoter. RNA mapping by primer extension indicated that the RNA encoded by the X gene promoter initiates at multiple sites spanning nucleotides 1250 to 1350 on the HBV genome. Deletion within the adjacent HBV enhancer element region significantly reduced the activity of the X gene promoter, suggesting that the X gene promoter requires the enhancer element for maximal activity.  相似文献

Characterization of restriction endonuclease maps of hepatitis B viral DNAs   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The HBV DNA isolated from Dane particles of 9 patients' plasma was cloned into the EcoRI or BamHI site of the pUC8 plasmids. Two plasmids with full length HBV DNA and four plasmids containing the HBV surface antigen gene were obtained. Based on our cloned HBV DNA and a comparison with 7 complete sequences and 5 restriction endonuclease patterns of HBV DNA published by others, we can recognize common restriction sites shared by different subtypes (adw, adr, ayw, and adyw): (1) a HincII site in the S gene, (2) a BamHI site in the X region, and (3) two BglII sites in the C gene. In addition adw has specific sites for HincII, BamHI, and PstI in the pre-S region. A unique XhoI site is present in the pre-S region in all subtypes except for adw.  相似文献
