The mammalian SREBP family contains two genes that code for B-HLH-ZIP proteins that bind sequence-specific DNA to regulate the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism. We have designed a dominant negative (DN), termed A-SREBP-1, that inhibits the DNA binding of either SREBP protein. A-SREBP-1 consists of the dimerization domain of B-SREBP-1 and a polyglutamic acid sequence that replaces the basic region. A-SREBP-1 heterodimerizes with either B-SREBP-1 or B-SREBP-2, and both heterodimers are more stable than B-SREBP-1 bound to DNA. Circular dichroism thermal denaturation studies show that the B-SREBP-1.A-SREBP-1 heterodimer is -9.8 kcal mol(-1) dimer(-1) more stable than the B-SREBP-1 homodimer. EMSA assays demonstrate that A-SREBP-1 can inhibit the DNA binding of either B-SREBP-1 or B-SREBP-2 in an equimolar competition but does not inhibit the DNA binding of the three B-HLH-ZIP proteins MAX, USF, or MITF, even at 100 molar eq. Chimeric proteins containing the HLH domain of SREBP-1 and the leucine zipper from either MAX, USF, or MITF indicate that both the HLH and leucine zipper regions of SREBP-1 contribute to its dimerization specificity. Transient co-transfection studies demonstrate that A-SREBP-1 can inhibit the transactivation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 but not USF. A-SREBP-1 may be useful in metabolic diseases where SREBP family members are overexpressed. 相似文献

Waardenburg综合征Ⅱ型患者MITF基因突变分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Waardenburg综合征(WS)是临床上常见的常染色体显性遗传性耳聋综合征, MITF基因突变与部分Waardenburg 综合征Ⅱ型(WS2)病例的发病有关。MITF属于碱性螺旋-环-螺旋亮氨酸拉链转录因子家族, 能调节酪氨酸酶基因, 参与黑色素细胞的分化。文章报道了1个携带MITF基因点突变的3代Waardenburg综合征Ⅱ型中国家系。先证者表现为先天性重度感音神经性聋、虹膜异色、面部雀斑; 其他家系成员除一名仅表现为先天性耳聋外, 均表现为颜面、上肢雀斑和/或早白发。患者可检测到c.639delA杂合突变, 该突变在MITF基因第7外显子上产生了终止密码子(p.I220X), 突变产生的截短的MITF蛋白没有DNA结合活性。该突变是WS2病例中第3个位于MITF第7外显子的突变, 尚未见报道。该突变与已报道的位于第7外显子其他两个突变仅相差1个碱基, 氨基酸改变十分相似, 但在表型上有显著差别, 提示遗传背景对WS临床表型有重要影响。 相似文献
