Seven protein-binding sites on the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) enhancer element have been identified by exonuclease III protection and gel retardation assays. It appears that the seven sites bind a minimum of four separate proteins. Three of these proteins also bind to other enhancers or promoters, but one protein seems to recognize exclusively IgH enhancer sequences. A complex of four binding sites, recognized by different proteins, is located within one 80-base-pair region of IgH enhancer DNA. Close juxtaposition of enhancer proteins may allow protein-protein interactions or be part of a mechanism for modulating enhancer protein activity. All IgH enhancer-binding proteins identified in this study were found in extracts from nonlymphoid as well as lymphoid cells. These data provide the first direct evidence that multiple proteins bind to enhancer elements and that while some of these proteins recognize common elements of many enhancers, others have more limited specificities. 相似文献

Multiple nuclear factors interact with the immunoglobulin enhancer sequences 总被引:536,自引:0,他引:536
To characterize proteins that bind to the immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain and the kappa light chain enhancers, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay with end-labeled DNA fragments was used. Three binding proteins have been found. One is NF-A, a factor found in all tested cell types that binds to the octamer sequence found upstream of all Ig variable region gene segments and to the same octamer in the heavy chain enhancer. The second, also ubiquitous, protein binds to a sequence in both the heavy chain and the kappa enhancers that was previously shown to be protected from methylation in vivo. Other closely related sites do not compete for this binding, implying a restriction enzyme-like binding specificity. The third protein binds to a sequence in the kappa enhancer (and to an identical sequence in the SV40 enhancer) and is restricted in its occurrence to B cells. 相似文献

In vivo functional analysis of in vitro protein binding sites in the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer. 总被引:20,自引:3,他引:17
We have systematically investigated the functional role of protein binding sites within the mouse immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer which we previously identified by in vitro binding studies (1,2). Each binding site was deleted, mutant enhancers were cloned 3' of the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene in the vector pA10CAT2 and transfected into plasmacytoma cells. We demonstrate that the newly identified site E, located at 324-338 bp, is important for enhancer function; previously identified sites B(uE1), Cl(uE2), C2(uE3) and C3 were also shown to be important for enhancer activity. Sites A and D are not required for IgH enhancer function, as assayed by our methods. Thus, including the octamer site, six protein binding sites which bind at least six different proteins are important for enhancer function in vivo. 相似文献
