The genomic organization of the zein structural genes and of regulatory loci influencing their expression suggests that control of zein gene expression will involve interactions between cis elements in the flanking DNA sequences and products from trans-acting genes. The interaction between fragments from the 5' flanking region of a zein gene and specific, double-stranded oligonucleotides with crude nuclear extracts from maize endosperm have been studied by nitrocellulose filter binding, gel retention and DNase I footprinting assays. Specific binding of a nuclear factor was observed and the exact position of the protein binding site was determined. The 22-nt binding site included 14 bp of a 15-bp sequence conserved in all zein genes. 相似文献

Expression of L-type calcium channels in cardiac myocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) critically regulates the contractile state of these cells. In order to discover the elements in the promoter region of the Ca(v)1.2 gene encoding the vascular/cardiac calcium channel alpha(1C) subunit that are important for the basal gene expression, approximately 2 kb of the 5'-flanking sequence of the Ca(v)1.2 gene has been cloned in our lab. In this study, using various lengths of the 5'-flanking DNA fused with a luciferase gene as a reporter, we have defined a 493-bp fragment of the cis-regulatory DNA which carries the majority of promoter activity in pulmonary artery smooth muscle (PAC1) cells. DNase I footprinting analysis of this 493-bp DNA using nuclear extracts from PAC1 cells revealed a 27-bp DNA sequence that contains a c-Ets like motif (CAGGATGC). Mutation of the Ets-like site and the respective flanking sequence within the DNase I footprinting protection region induced a marked change in the promoter activity in PAC1 cells. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) confirmed the presence of specific binding factor(s) in PAC1 cells' nuclear extracts for this 27-bp DNA. Competition studies with the wild-type and mutated DNA fragments established the importance of the 27 bp DNA sequence for high-affinity binding of the nuclear proteins to the promoter. We conclude that there is a 27 bp region in the promoter of the Ca(v)1.2 gene to which nuclear proteins from VSMC bind and strongly regulate the basal promoter activity. 相似文献

The histidine tRNA genes of yeast 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Yeast has at least seven nuclear histidine tRNA genes although there is a single tRNAHis. We have sequenced three of the histidine tRNA genes. The genes have identical coding sequences and the DNA anti-codon sequence GTG corresponds to the GUG anti-codon in tRNAHis. None of the three yeast histidine tRNA genes has an intervening sequence. Two of the three genes contain repeated DNA elements in the region adjacent to the 5' end of the histidine tRNA gene. One of the elements, sigma, is 18 base pairs (bp) from the 5' end of each of these genes, sigma elements are highly conserved and flanked by 5-bp repeats. The other element, delta, is at variable distances from the tRNA gene; one is 439 bp from a histidine tRNA gene and the other is 52 bp from a histidine tRNA gene. These solo delta elements are quite divergent when compared with delta s associated with transposon yeast elements and are not flanked by 5-bp repeats. 相似文献
