Transcription of a human transposon-like sequence is usually directed by other promoters
The transcriptional activity of a human transposon-like family of repeats, called the THE-1 family, has been studied in cell culture and in human tissue. Both strands of THE-1 are present in several discrete length poly A plus RNAs. Primer extension studies and the structures of cDNA clones show that these THE-1 transcripts are usually the product of other transcription units. The THE-1 LTR pro...
متن کاملTranscription of a silkworm tRNA(cAla) gene is directed by two AT-rich upstream sequence elements.
A region within 35 nucleotides upstream of the transcription initiation site of a variety of silkworm Class III templates is absolutely required for transcription in vitro. To determine whether the activity of this region can be attributed to a particular sequence element, we systematically replaced 4-5 bp segments of the region upstream of a silkworm tRNA(cAla) gene. We show that replacement o...
متن کاملRegulation of internal promoters in a zinc-responsive operon is influenced by transcription from upstream promoters.
In the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 (also known as Nostoc sp. strain PCC 7120), a zinc-responsive operon (all4725-all4721) has been described, which contains 4 distinct promoters. The two most upstream ones bind Zur with high affinity, whereas the other two do not or do so with a very low affinity. In this paper, a detailed characterization of the four promoters is presented, sho...
متن کاملSite-directed transposon integration in human cells
The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon is a promising gene transfer vector that integrates nonspecifically into host cell genomes. Herein, we attempt to direct transposon integration into predetermined DNA sites by coupling a site-specific DNA-binding domain (DBD) to the SB transposase. We engineered fusion proteins comprised of a hyperactive SB transposase (HSB5) joined via a variable-length link...
متن کاملNtr-like promoters and upstream regulatory sequence ftr are required for transcription of a developmentally regulated Caulobacter crescentus flagellar gene.
The flbG (hook operon or transcription unit II) and flaN (transcription unit I) operons of Caulobacter crescentus have a -12, -24 nucleotide sequence motif that is very similar to those of the Nif and Ntr promoters of enteric bacteria and Rhizobium spp. and a conserved ftr (flagellar gene transcription regulation) sequence, previously designated II-1 (D. A. Mullin, S. A. Minnich, L.-S. Chen, an...
