Intron-mediated enhancement of gene expression independent of unique intron sequences and splicing.
Either of the first two introns of the Arabidopsis tryptophan pathway gene PAT1 elevates mRNA accumulation from a PAT1:beta-glucuronidase (GUS) fusion roughly 5-fold without affecting the rate of PAT1:GUS transcription. To further explore the mechanism of this intron-mediated enhancement of gene expression, we wanted to determine whether splicing or specific intron sequences were necessary. In-...
متن کاملYin Yang 1 Intronic Binding Sequences and Splicing Elicit Intron-Mediated Enhancement of Ubiquitin C Gene Expression
In a number of organisms, introns affect expression of the gene in which they are contained. Our previous studies revealed that the 5'-UTR intron of human ubiquitin C (UbC) gene is responsible for the boost of reporter gene expression and is able to bind, in vitro, Yin Yang 1 (YY1) trans-acting factor. In this work, we demonstrate that intact YY1 binding sequences are required for maximal promo...
متن کاملSplicing enhancement in the yeast rp51b intron.
Splicing enhancement in higher eukaryotes has been linked to SR proteins, to U1 snRNP, and to communication between splice sites across introns or exons mediated by protein-protein interactions. It has been previously shown that, in yeast, communication mediated by RNA-RNA interactions between the two ends of introns is a basis for splicing enhancement. We designed experiments of randomization-...
متن کاملRole for gene looping in intron-mediated enhancement of transcription.
Intron-containing genes are often transcribed more efficiently than nonintronic genes. The effect of introns on transcription of genes is an evolutionarily conserved feature, being exhibited by such diverse organisms as yeast, plants, flies, and mammals. The mechanism of intron-mediated transcriptional activation, however, is not entirely clear. To address this issue, we inserted an intron in I...
متن کاملTesting the IMEter on rice introns and other aspects of intron-mediated enhancement of gene expression
In many eukaryotes, spliceosomal introns are able to influence the level and site of gene expression. The mechanism of this Intron Mediated Enhancement (IME) has not yet been elucidated, but regulation of gene expression is likely to occur at several steps during and after transcription. Different introns have different intrinsic enhancing properties, but the determinants of these differences r...
