A hybrid gene containing rabbit beta-globin structural sequences (-9 to +1650), and a chicken conalbumin gene promoter (+62 to -102) in the place of the beta-globin promoter (upstream from -9), was inactive in 5 different transgenic mouse line. Adding the mouse immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) enhancer to this construction specifically stimulated expression in B-cells. These results show that IgH enhancer is specifically active in B-cells. Expression of the hybrid gene was low compared to the endogenous immunoglobulin heavy and light-chain genes. Substituting the mouse immunoglobulin kappa light-chain gene (Ig kappa) promoter (+4 to -800) for the heterologous conalbumin promoter was not sufficient to restore gene expression to level of the endogenous genes. In addition to the reproducible B cell expression, we also found inheritable unexpected expression in certain tissues, which varied from line to line. 相似文献

Interleukin 1 (IL-1) induces the synthesis of kappa immunoglobulin light chains and the expression of surface immunoglobulin in the murine pre-B-cell line 70Z/3 (J. G. Giri, P. W. Kincade, and S. B. Mizel, J. Immunol. 132:223-228, 1984). In the present study, we found that these effects of IL-1 are mimicked by cyclic AMP (cAMP) analogs and cAMP-elevating drugs. The induction of kappa immunoglobulin light-chain gene expression by IL-1 was associated with an increase in intracellular cAMP levels. Incubation of 70Z/3 cells with IL-1 or cAMP resulted in the activation of the kappa immunoglobulin enhancer, as detected by the induction of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) in cells transfected with a kappa enhancer-CAT expression plasmid. In contrast, CAT plasmids lacking a kappa immunoglobulin enhancer were inactive in the presence of IL-1 or cAMP. Furthermore, IL-1 and cAMP analogs and inducers were found to induce the activation of a NF-kappa B-like DNA-binding protein that exhibited specificity for the kappa immunoglobulin enhancer. These results suggest that cAMP may play an important role as a second messenger for IL-1 in the induction of kappa immunoglobulin light-chain synthesis in pre-B cells via the activation of a DNA-binding protein that is similar or identical to NF-kappa B. 相似文献

The immunoglobulin kappa light-chain constant region gene (C kappa) has
been cloned and sequenced from five wild mouse species. Analysis of these
data has permitted an assessment of single-copy gene evolution during a
limited time period as defined by the genus Mus. Sequence conservation was
found to be as high (or higher) in the 5' and enhancer regions as in the
coding region. The pattern of substitutions throughout these genes suggests
that parallel evolution has occurred frequently and that substitutions at
replacement sites have not decreased significantly, owing to saturation
during this period of approximately 10 Myr. Phylogenetic relationships have
been determined among these wild species as well as among members of the
genus Rattus.

The mRNAs for myogenic functions are coordinately transcribed with polyomavirus (Py) early mRNA during in vitro differentiation of mouse C2 myoblast cells. Sequence analysis shows that the A domain of the Py enhancer includes an E1A-like consensus sequence that is also found in the 5' upstream region of two genes expressed during myoblast differentiation: alpha-actin and myosin light chain. Therefore, the coordinate expression of such genes with Py early mRNA may be activated by a common cellular regulatory factor. In the present work, we report that C2 cells surviving Py infection are unable to differentiate and do not express alpha-actin and myosin light-chain mRNAs. Hybrids between such Py-resistant myoblast cells and the parental cells exhibited dominance of the permissibility to Py growth and of the expression of myogenic mRNAs. In C2 cells transiently transfected with a chimeric plasmid (pSVPy12CAT) harboring the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene driven by the Py enhancer-promoter region, the CAT gene was expressed irrespective of their stage of differentiation. Moreover, undifferentiated stably transfected cells expressing the CAT gene restricted viral growth. Py-resistant C2 myoblasts transiently transfected with pSVPy12CAT also expressed the CAT gene driven by the Py enhancer. This contradictory finding is similar to results previously obtained by other investigators with cloned genes specific for myogenic functions, and it may be explained by a structural difference between the pSVPy12CAT and the Py genomic organizations in which the viral enhancer operates. 相似文献

In endothelial cells, NF-kappaB is an important intracellular signaling molecule by which changes in wall shear stress are transduced into the nucleus to initiate downstream endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene expression. We investigated whether NF-kappa light-chain gene enhancer in B cells 1 (NFKB1) promoter polymorphism ((-94)NFKB1 I/D, where I is the insertion allele and D is the deletion allele) was associated with 1) NOS3 gene expression in endothelial cells under physiological levels of unidirectional laminar shear stress (LSS) and 2) endothelial function in prehypertensive and stage I hypertensive individuals before and after a 6-mo supervised endurance exercise intervention. Competitive EMSAs revealed that proteins present in the nuclei of endothelial cells preferentially bound to the I allele NFKB1 promoter compared with the D allele. Reporter gene assays showed that the I allele promoter had significantly higher activity than the D allele. In agreement with these observations, homozygous II genotype cells had higher p50 expression levels than homozygous DD genotype cells. Cells with the homozygous II genotype showed a greater increase in NOS3 protein expression than did homozygous DD genotype cells under LSS. Functional experiments on volunteers confirmed higher baseline reactive hyperemic forearm blood flow, and, furthermore, the subgroup analysis revealed that DD homozygotes were significantly less prevalent in the exercise responder group compared with II and ID genotypes. We conclude that the (-94)NFKB1 I/D promoter variation contributes to the modulation of vascular function and adaptability to exercise-induced flow shear stress, most likely due to differences in NFKB1 gene transactivity. 相似文献

We describe the purification to apparent homogeneity of the murine immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) enhancer-binding protein mu EBP-E from murine plasmacytoma cells by ion exchange and affinity chromatography. Glycerol gradient sedimentation, UV cross-linking, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirm that mu EBP-E is a 45-kilodalton molecular mass protein. Orthophenanthroline-copper chemical nuclease footprinting with purified protein has identified high-affinity binding sites for mu EBP-E within the IgH enhancer at the previously identified site E and at sites within IgH promoters and in the kappa light-chain enhancer. Equilibrium binding studies indicate that the dissociation constants for mu EBP-E binding to site E within the enhancer and to a binding site within the V1 heavy-chain promoter are quite low, about 2 x 10(-11) M. Comparison of four mu EBP-E recognition sequences detects only limited sequence similarity among binding sites. 相似文献

Expression vectors for cDNA of the κ and λ1 chains of a monoclonal antibody directed against creatine kinase were introduced into murine myeloma cells. κ and γ1 cDNA were either under the control of the SV40 early promoter or of the cognate promoters and enhancers of the light- and heavy-chain genes. Secretion of immuno-reactive κ and γ1 chains into the culture medium was demonstrated with the SV40 promoter as well as with the cognate promoters. Expression of y 1 cDNA with the SV40 early promoter was about twice as high as with the heavy-chain promoter and enhancer. Expression of κ cDNA under the control of the S V40 early promoter was about 17 times higher than with the light-chain promoter and enhancer. These expression levels were compared to those of a genomic immunoglobulin (Ig) κ determinant, including introns. Such an entire κ gene led to expression of the light chain at levels double those with the κ cDNA construction using the SV40 promoter and about 35 times as high when using κ cDNA and the cognate promoter and enhancer. This result might indicate that, besides the cognate promoter and enhancer elements, other intragenic elements are involved in the regulation of Ig expression. However, the SV40 early promoter seems to be able to compensate for the absence of these postulated regulatory elements probably located in the introns. 相似文献
