The 3' terminal region of the Prague strain of Rous sarcoma virus (PrRSV) contains at least three distinct domains that comprise two functional enhancer elements. Two of these domains (designated B and C) are found in the U3 region of the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) while the third (designated A) is located in the sequences immediately preceding the LTR termed XSR sequences. Combinations of adjacent domains [e.g., (A + B or B + C)] are capable of activating the expression of the SV40 early promoter (21 bp repeats and TATA box) coupled to coding sequences from the prokaryotic gene chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) while a single domain is inactive. Furthermore, duplication or triplication of the central domain B restores activity. The related, Schmidt-Ruppin, strain of RSV, contains an almost identical 3' LTR element, but differs in the enhancer sequences immediately preceding the 3' LTR. A model is presented in which the sequence differences may contribute to the difference in disease spectrum of transformation defective (td) variants of these viruses. 相似文献

Limited T1 RNase digestion of subfragments of the SV40 DNA restriction endonuclease fragment EcoRII-G were prepared and analyzed. The fragments were separately labeled with 32P at their 5' terminus and the terminal sequences analyzed with limited snake venom diesterase digestion. The data permitted us to deduce the nucleotide sequence for EcoRII-G. The sequence contains a stretch of 17 A-T base pairs preceding the DNA complementary to the 5' end of "early" message RNA, a stretch of 27 bases with a perfect 2-fold rotational symmetry near the origin of DNA replication and a perfect tandem repeat of 21 nucleotides. 相似文献

The cloned genomic DNA containing the human activin beta A subunit gene were analyzed by restriction endonuclease mapping, Southern blotting and DNA sequencing. The activin gene is composed of two exons interrupted by the 9-kb intron. The TATA, CCAAT and CT-stretch sequences were found in the 5'-flanking region of the gene. An intronic sequence contained SV40 enhancer core element in the vicinity of the exon 1. In the 3'-flanking region, we identified eight consensus polyadenylation sequences, five ATTTA motifs, CA element consisting of (CA)14, AP-1 binding site and two SV40 enhancer core elements. A dot matrix analysis revealed the high degree of conservation between the human and rat sequences within the 3'-flanking region, suggesting a possible functional significance. 相似文献

The 3' ends of the mRNA coding for the early and late proteins of SV40 DNA overlap. We have analyzed the restriction endonuclease fragment of SV40 DNA complementary to the 3' untranslated ends of the mRNA and the codons for the COOH-terminal amino acids of early and late protein. The sequence of this DNA fragment is presented. 相似文献

We have determined the recognition sequence of the restriction endonuclease KpnI, previously isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae. The enzyme cleaves the twofold rotationally symmetric sequence (see book for formula) at the positions indicated by the arrows, producing 3' protruding cohesive ends, four nucleotides in length. The specific cleavage site was unambiguously deduced using both 3' and 5' end analyses of KpnI generated restriction fragments of simian-virus 40 (SV40) DNA (1 site), adenovirus-2 (Ad-2) DNA (8 sites), and a plasmid (pCRI) DNA (2 sites). 相似文献

We have previously shown that element(s) mediating a light-induced increase in the abundance of Fed-1 mRNA in the leaves of transgenic tobacco plants are located within the transcribed portion of the gene. As part of an effort to define the mechanism of this effect, we report here that cis-acting elements capable of mediating a 5-fold light-induced increase in the abundance of this mRNA are located within a region comprising the 5' leader and first third of the Fed-1 coding sequence. No activity was detected in the 3' untranslated region of the gene. In a gain-of-function assay, the 5' region was found to be capable of conferring light responsiveness on three different reporter sequences, although experiments with the gusA reporter were complicated by an apparent negative light effect on the stability of this mRNA. Deletion experiments show that at least one essential light regulatory element is located in the 5' untranslated region of Fed-1 between nucleotides +19 and +57. Additional Fed-1 sequences, including a portion of the protein coding region, are required to confer positive responsiveness on the gusA reporter. These additional sequences may include specific light regulatory elements or simply provide an environment in which the leader element can function normally. 相似文献

The genomes of the two nondefective adenovirus 2/simian virus 40 (Ad2/SV 40) hybrid viruses, nondefective Ad2/SV 40 hybrid virus 1 (Ad2+ND1) and nondefective hybrid virus 3 (Ad2+ND3), WERE FORMED BY A DELETION OF ABOUT 5% OF Ad2 DNA and insertion of part of the SV40 genome. We have compared the cytoplasmic RNA synthesized during both the early and late stages of lytic infection of human cells by these hybrid viruses to that expressed in Ad2-infected and SV40-infected cells. Separated strands of the six fragments of 32P-labeled Ad2 DNA produced by cleavage with the restriction endonuclease EcoRI (isolated from Escherichia coli) and the four fragments of 32P-labeled SV40 DNA produced by cleavage with both a restriction nuclease isolated from Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Hpa1, and EcoRI were prepared by electrophoresis of denatured DNA in agarose gels. The fraction of each fragment strand expressed as cytoplasmic RNA was determined by annealing fragmented 32P-labeled strands to an excess of cellular RNA extracted from infected cells. The segment of Ad2 DNA deleted from both hybrid virus genomes is transcribed into cytoplasmic mRNA during the early phase of Ad2 infection. Hence, we suggest that Ad2 codes for at least one "early" gene product which is nonessential for virus growth in cell culture. In both early Ad2+ND1 and Ad2+ND3-infected cells, 1,000 bases of Ad2 DNA adjacent to the integrated SV40 sequences are expressed as cytoplasmic RNA but are not similarly expressed in early Ad2-infected cells. The 3' termini of this early hybrid virus RNA maps in the vicinity of 0.18 on the conventional SV40 map and probably terminates at the same position as early lytic SV40 cytoplasmic RNA. Therefore, the base sequence in this region of SV40 DNA specifies the 3' termini of early messenger RNA present in both hybrid virus and SV40-infected cells. 相似文献

Short DNA sequence motifs have been identified in viral and cellular enhancers which represent the binding sites for a variety of trans- acting factors. One such HeLa cell factor, EBP1, has been purified and shown to bind to sequences in the SV40 enhancer. The PRDII element in the human beta-interferon gene regulatory element (IRE) shows strong sequence similarity to the EBP1 binding site in the SV40 enhancer. We demonstrate here that EBP1 binds to its sites in the SV40 enhancer and IRE in a similar manner, making base specific contacts over one complete turn of the DNA double helix. Mutational analysis of the EBP1 sites in the IRE and SV40 enhancer has identified the DNA sequence requirements necessary for specific EBP1/DNA complex formation. In addition, 34 DNA sequences related to the EBP1 binding site were analysed for their ability to bind EBP1. Sequences constituting high affinity binding sites possess the sequence 5'-GG(N)6CC-3'. Single base pair changes in the region between the conserved Gs and Cs can generally be tolerated although it is clear that these intervening bases contribute to binding affinity. Mutations in the recognition site which could lead to gross structural changes in the DNA abolish EBP1 binding. 相似文献
