The 5'' flanking region of human epsilon-globin gene.   总被引:10,自引:12,他引:10       下载免费PDF全文
The structural analysis of the 2.0 kb region upstream from the epsilon-globin gene has been carried out. A genomic DNA map around the gene was worked out in some detail to ensure that the cloned DNA was representative of the actual chromosomal arrangement. Furthermore, a new technique was developed to precisely map a reiterated DNA sequence present 1.5 kb to the 5' side of the gene. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 2.0 kb 5' flanking region was then determined and overlapped with the gene. The sequence included the reiterated DNA sequence which is homologous to the so-called AluI family of repeats. Unusual stretches of sequence 50 nucleotides long, where A + T represent about 90% of the bases, are present at both the 5' and 3' sides of the repeat.  相似文献

Osteocalcin, the major non-collagenous protein in bone, is transcribed in osteoblasts at the onset of extracellular matrix mineralization. In this study it was demonstrated that sequences located in the first exon of the human osteocalcin gene possess a differentiation-related osteocalcin silencer element (OSE). Osteocalcin was rendered transcribable in UMR-106 cells and proliferating normal osteoblasts after deletion of the -3 to +51 region. Site-specific mutagenesis of this region revealed that a 7 bp sequence (TGGCCCT) (+29 to +35) is critical for silencing function. Mobility shift assays demonstrated that a nuclear factor bound to the OSE. The OSE binding protein was present in proliferating normal pre-osteoblasts and in UMR-106 and ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells, but was absent from post-proliferative normal osteoblasts. The binding protein was inhibited by fragments containing the +29/+35 sequence, but not by other promoter fragments or by the consensus oligomers of unrelated nuclear factors AP-1 and Sp1. DNase 1 footprinting demonstrated that the OSE binding-protein protected the +17 to +36 portion of the first exon, consistent with the results of mapping studies and competitive mobility shift assays. It is hypothesized that this silencer is activated by complexing of the OSE binding protein to the OSE during the osteoblast proliferation stage and that the OSE binding protein is down-regulated at the onset of extracellular matrix mineralization.  相似文献

Molecular methods are being used to enforce wildlife conservation laws by identifying the species or the geographic origin of an unknown sample. However, the promising use of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this field is still widely unexplored. In the present work, we have developed a reliable and easy method based on single-base extension technology for the scoring of 3 SNPs in the epsilon-globin gene that successfully identifies the primate infraorder a sample belongs to. Since primates are of high conservation concern and different infraorders are distributed in specific parts of the world, this method will serve for an initial potentially automated screening of the taxonomy and geographic origin of an unknown primate sample arriving at customs.  相似文献

Lipiarmycin, an inhibitor of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, was shown to prevent RNA synthesis by blocking the formation of the first internucleotide bond. No effect of the drug on binding of RNA polymerase to DNA could be detected, even though preformed enzyme-DNA complexes were resistant to lipiarmycin. The drug inhibited preferentially molecules of RNA polymerase that contained σ factor. This effect did not seem to be due to inhibition of σ function, but was apparently a reflection of preferential interaction of lipiarmycin with holoenzyme. The mechanism of action of lipiarmycin is unique for RNA polymerase antagonists.  相似文献
