The molecular mechanisms responsible for the human fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch have not yet been elucidated. Point mutations identified in the promoter regions of gamma-globin genes from individuals with nondeletion hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) may mark cis-acting sequences important for this switch, and the trans-acting factors which interact with these sequences may be integral parts in the puzzle of gamma-globin gene regulation. We have used gel retardation and footprinting strategies to define nuclear proteins which bind to the normal gamma-globin promoter and to determine the effect of HPFH mutations on the binding of a subset of these proteins. We have identified five proteins in human erythroleukemia cells (K562 and HEL) which bind to the proximal promoter region of the normal gamma-globin gene. One factor, gamma CAAT, binds the duplicated CCAAT box sequences; the -117 HPFH mutation increases the affinity of interaction between gamma CAAT and its cognate site. Two proteins, gamma CAC1 and gamma CAC2, bind the CACCC sequence. These proteins require divalent cations for binding. The -175 HPFH mutation interferes with the binding of a fourth protein, gamma OBP, which binds an octamer sequence (ATGCAAAT) in the normal gamma-globin promoter. The HPFH phenotype of the -175 mutation indicates that the octamer-binding protein may play a negative regulatory role in this setting. A fifth protein, EF gamma a, binds to sequences which overlap the octamer-binding site. The erythroid-specific distribution of EF gamma a and its close approximation to an apparent repressor-binding site suggest that it may be important in gamma-globin regulation. 相似文献

We report the discovery of a new B-lymphocyte-specific enhancer-binding protein. A series of gel retardation assays using fragments that scan the -2172 to -1180 region of the major histocompatibility complex class II gene E alpha reveal a site (W) that serves as the recognition sequence for two nuclear proteins, one B-cell restricted and the other ubiquitously occurring. Certain characteristics of the NF-W1 and NF-W2 pair recall the OTF-2/NF-A2 and OTF-1/NF-A1 pair that binds to the immunoglobulin octamer, but we demonstrate that the two protein pairs are distinguishable by several criteria. NF-W1 and NF-W2 interact differentially with their common GTTGCATC binding site, display a different affinity for it, and have molecular weights that differ by about 20,000. Yet, proteolysis experiments and cross-linking analyses indicate that the two W complexes show structural relatedness. 相似文献

Using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay and the footprinting technique, we studied the binding of nuclear proteins from erythroid and non erythroid human cells to the promoter region of the human gamma-globin gene. Two regions (A and B) of the promoter are bound by proteins present in uninduced K562 cells, but not in induced K562 cells nor in fetal liver erythroblasts; a protein binding to region A is also present in a variety of lymphoid and myeloid cells. Region B is centered on an octamer sequence identical to that present in immunoglobulin promoter and enhancers and other eukaryotic promoters; a B region binding protein common to K562 and other cells efficiently binds the octamer containing region of the histone H2B gene, while different B region proteins are more specific for uninduced K562 cells and the gamma-globin octamer containing fragment. The possible role of these nuclear proteins in gamma-globin gene regulation and/or cell differentiation is discussed. 相似文献
