Differential binding of human nuclear proteins to Alu subfamilies.
Several diagnostic differences that distinguish human Alu subfamilies are clustered just downstream from the B box of the RNA polymerase III promoter; we tentatively refer to this diagnostic region as the DB box. Assuming that this region might determine the relative transcriptional activity of Alu subfamilies, we examined the interaction of nuclear proteins with DB box sequences representing d...
متن کاملDispersion and insertion polymorphism in two small subfamilies of recently amplified human Alu repeats.
Newly isolated members of two recently propagated (young) Alu subfamilies were examined for sequence diversity and insertion polymorphism in primate genomes. The smaller subfamily (termed HS-2) is comprised of approximately 5 to 25 members, while the larger (termed Sb2) includes approximately 125 to 600 members. Individual members of these Alu subfamilies share distinguishing sets of diagnostic...
متن کاملSequence Analysis and Characterization of Active Human Alu Subfamilies Based on the 1000 Genomes Pilot Project
The goal of the 1000 Genomes Consortium is to characterize human genome structural variation (SV), including forms of copy number variations such as deletions, duplications, and insertions. Mobile element insertions, particularly Alu elements, are major contributors to genomic SV among humans. During the pilot phase of the project we experimentally validated 645 (611 intergenic and 34 exon targ...
متن کاملManganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...
متن کاملAffinity purification of Alu-DNA-repeat-binding proteins from human somatic cells.
A 66-kD Alu-DNA-repeat binding protein was identified in human somatic cell nucleoplasm. Gel shift assay, southwestern blotting, and affinity purification on DNA attached to a carrier were used. A 60-kD protein copurified with the 66-kD protein during affinity purification, probably due to protein--protein interactions. The gel shift assay reveals multiple complexes with exponential dependence ...
