A new Marek's disease virus (MDV) nuclear antigen (MDNA) was identified in two MDV-transformed T-lymphoblastoid cell lines, MKT-1 and MSB-1, derived from chickens bearing tumors induced by MDV. This MDNA was not detected in MSB-1 cells maintained in iododeoxyuridine, which activates the latent MDV genome. Moreover, it was not found in chicken embryo fibroblasts undergoing productive and cytolytic infection with MDV. Expression of MDNA is not related to strain pathogenicity in chickens, because chicken embryo fibroblasts productively infected with the pathogenic RBIB strain or the nonpathogenic CV-1 strain of MDV did not express this antigen. DNA-protein immunoprecipitation studies revealed that MDNA bound to two sites in the 190,00-base-pair (bp) MDV genome. One of these loci identified by MDNA obtained from MKT-1 and MSB-1 cells corresponded to a 476-bp segment within the short unique region of BamHI-A MDV DNA. A second locus located in a 280-bp segment within the short inverted repeat region of BamHI-A was also identified by MDNA from MSB-1 cells but not by MDNA obtained from MKT-1 cells. Analyses of the nucleotide sequence by DNase digestion showed that MDNA protected a 60-bp segment spanning a 22-bp palindromic sequence of the short unique region and a 103-bp sequence encompassing a 32-bp palindrome in the short inverted repeat region of BamHI-A MDV DNA. 相似文献

A 14-bp segment in the promoter region of the tdcABC operon of Escherichia coli shows sequence identity with the consensus binding site for the E. coli integration host factor (IHF). In an himA (IHF-deficient) strain, expression of beta-galactosidase from a tdcB'-'lacZ protein fusion plasmid was about 10% of that seen with an isogenic himA+ strain. Threonine dehydratase activity from the chromosomal tdcB gene in the himA mutant was also about 10% of the wild-type enzyme level. Two different mutations introduced into the putative IHF-binding site in the fusion plasmid greatly reduced the plasmid-coded beta-galactosidase activity in cells containing IHF. In vitro gel retardation and DNase I footprinting analyses showed binding of purified IHF to the wild-type but not to the mutant promoter. IHF protected a 31-bp region between -118 and -88 encompassing the conserved IHF consensus sequence. These results suggest that efficient expression of the tdc operon in vivo requires a functional IHF and an IHF-binding site in the tdc promoter. 相似文献
