Key regulatory regions necessary for the expression of the gene encoding FcepsilonRI alpha-chain, a component of the high-affinity IgE receptor primarily responsible for IgE-dependent allergic response, were investigated. Two regions, -74/-69 and -55/-47, which contained binding motifs for proteins belonging to the Ets family and the GATA family, respectively, were shown to be necessary for the activation of the alpha-chain promoter. Both the regulatory elements enhanced the promoter activity only in alpha-chain-producing cells PT18 and RBL-2H3 (mast cell lines), indicating that the elements required specific trans-acting proteins present in the alpha-chain-producing cells. EMSA using nuclear extracts and in vitro-translated proteins revealed that Elf-1 and GATA-1 bound to the enhancer elements. This is the first report describing the regulation in the expression of the FcepsilonRI alpha-chain. 相似文献

Genomic clones containing 5'-flanking sequences, the first exon, and the entire first intron from the chicken N-CAM gene were characterized by restriction mapping and DNA sequencing. A > 600-bp segment that includes the first exon is very G + C-rich and contains a large proportion of CpG dinucleotides, suggesting that it represents a CpG island. SP-1 and AP-1 consensus elements are present, but no TATA- or CCAAT-like elements were found within 300 bp upstream of the first exon. Comparison of the chicken promoter region sequence with similar regions of the human, rat, and mouse N-CAM genes revealed that some potential regulatory elements including a "purine box" seen in mouse and rat N-CAM genes, one of two homeodomain binding regions seen in mammalian N-CAM genes, and several potential SP-1 sites are not conserved within this region. In contrast, high CpG content, a homeodomain binding sequence, an SP-1 element, an octomer element, and an AP-1 element are conserved in all four genes. The first intron of the chicken gene is 38 kb, substantially smaller than the corresponding intron from mammalian N-CAM genes. Together with previous studies, this work completes the cloning of the chicken N-CAM gene, which contains at least 26 exons distributed over 85 kb. 相似文献

A region located at kbp -3.9 to -2.6 5' to the first hematopoietic exon of the GATA-1 gene is necessary to recapitulate gene expression in both the primitive and definitive erythroid lineages. In transfection analyses, this region activated reporter gene expression from an artificial promoter in a position- and orientation-independent manner, indicating that the region functions as the GATA-1 gene hematopoietic enhancer (G1HE). However, when analyzed in transgenic embryos in vivo, G1HE activity was orientation dependent and also required the presence of the endogenous GATA-1 gene hematopoietic promoter. To define the boundaries of G1HE, a series of deletion constructs were prepared and tested in transfection and transgenic mice analyses. We show that G1HE contains a 149-bp core region which is critical for GATA-1 gene expression in both primitive and definitive erythroid cells but that expression in megakaryocytes requires the core plus additional sequences from G1HE. This core region contains one GATA, one GAT, and two E boxes. Mutational analyses revealed that only the GATA box is critical for gene-regulatory activity. Importantly, G1HE was active in SCL(-/-) embryos. These results thus demonstrate the presence of a critical network of GATA factors and GATA binding sites that controls the expression of this gene. 相似文献
