The cis-acting elements necessary for the activity of DNA replication origins in metazoan cells are still poorly understood. Here we report a thorough characterization of the DNA sequence requirements of the origin associated with the human lamin B2 gene. A 1.2-kb DNA segment, comprising the start site of DNA replication and located within a large protein-bound region, as well as a CpG island, displays origin activity when moved to different ectopic positions. Genomic footprinting analysis of both the endogenous and the ectopic origins indicates that the large protein complex is assembled in both cases around the replication start site. Replacement of this footprinted region with an unrelated sequence, maintaining the CpG island intact, abolishes origin activity and the interaction with hORC2, a subunit of the origin recognition complex. Conversely, the replacement of 17 bp within the protected region reduces the extension of the protection without affecting the interaction with hORC2. This substitution does not abolish the origin activity but makes it more sensitive to the integration site. Finally, the nearby CpG island positively affects the efficiency of initiation. This analysis reveals the modular structure of the lamin B2 origin and supports the idea that sequence elements close to the replication start site play an important role in origin activation. 相似文献

Methylation and DNase I-hypersensitive sites of the myeloperoxidase gene in human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells were studied by Southern blot hybridization using the myeloperoxidase gene probes. Digestion of DNA with a methylation-sensitive restriction endonuclease indicated that a CpG in the CCGG sequence located 3.53 kbp upstream of the myeloperoxidase gene was unmethylated in HL-60 cells expressing the gene, whereas it was methylated in K562 cells and human placenta not expressing the gene. The site in HL-60 cells remained unmethylated after retinoic acid- or 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate-induced differentiation that arrests myeloperoxidase synthesis. Digestion of isolated nuclei with various amounts of DNase I indicated that four DNase I-hypersensitive sites were in an upstream region of the myeloperoxidase gene in HL-60 cells and three sites were within the gene. In retinoic acid-induced cells, the bands of the hypersensitive site near the 5' side of the gene and that in the first intron became weak, while that of the site in the fifth intron became strong. The bands of these hypersensitive sites were weak in K562 cells. The implications of these changes in tissue-specific expression and developmental down-regulation of the myeloperoxidase gene are discussed. 相似文献

Nuclear factor I is a 47-kd protein, isolated from nuclei of HeLa cells, that binds specifically to the inverted terminal repeat of the adenovirus (Ad) DNA and enhances Ad DNA replication in vitro. We have studied the DNA sequence specificity of nuclear factor I binding using cloned terminal fragments of the Ad2 genome and a set of deletion mutants. Binding of nuclear factor I protects nucleotides 19-42 of Ad2 DNA against DNase I digestion. Filter binding assays show that deletion of the first 23 nucleotides does not impair binding while a deletion of 24 nucleotides reduces binding severely. However, binding studies on Ad12 DNA indicate that nucleotide 24 can be mutated. Fragments containing the first 40 bp are bound normally while the first 38 bp are insufficient to sustain binding. Taken together, these results indicate that the minimal recognition site of nuclear factor I contains 15 or 16 nucleotides, located from nucleotide 25 to nucleotide 39 or 40 of the Ad2 DNA. This site contains two of the four conserved nucleotide sequences in this region. Sequences flanking the minimal recognition site may reduce the binding affinity of nuclear factor I. In accordance with these binding studies, DNA replication of a fragment that carries the sequence of the terminal 40 nucleotides of Ad2 at one molecular end is enhanced by nuclear factor I in an in vitro replication system. 相似文献

DNA replication is initiated within a few chromosomal bands as normal human fibroblasts enter the S phase. In the present study, we determined the timing of replication of sequences along a 340 kb region in one of these bands, 1p36.13, an R band on chromosome 1. Within this region, we identified a segment of DNA (approximately 140 kb) that is replicated in the first hour of the S phase and is flanked by segments replicated 1-2 h later. Using a quantitative PCR-based assay to measure sequence abundance in size-fractionated (900-1,700 nt) nascent DNA, we mapped two functional origins of replication separated by 54 kb and firing 1 h apart. One origin was found to be functional during the first hour of S and was located within a CpG island associated with a predicted gene of unknown function (Genscan NT_004610.2). The second origin was activated in the second hour of S and was mapped to a CpG island near the promoter of the aldehyde dehydrogenase 4A1 (ALDH4A1) gene. At the opposite end of the early replicating segment, a more gradual change in replication timing was observed within the span of approximately 100 kb. These data suggest that DNA replication in adjacent segments of band 1p36.13 is organized differently, perhaps in terms of replicon number and length, or rate of fork progression. In the transition areas that mark the boundaries between different temporal domains, the replication forks initiated in the early replicated region are likely to pause or delay progression before replication of the 340 kb contig is completed. 相似文献
