Functional Analysis of Drosophila HSP70 Promoter with Different HSE Numbers in Human Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activation of genetic constructs including the Drosophila hsp70 promoter with four and eight HSE sequences in the regulatory region has been described in human cells. The promoter was shown to be induced at lower temperatures compared to the human hsp70 promoter. The promoter activity increased after a 60-min heat shock already at 38 °C in human cells. The promoter activation was observed 24 h after heat shock for the constructs with eight HSEs, while those with four HSEs required 48 h. After transplantation of in vitro heat-shocked transfected cells, the promoter activity could be maintained for 3 days with a gradual decline. The promoter activation was confirmed in vivo without preliminary heat shock in mouse ischemic brain foci. Controlled expression of the Gdnf gene under a Drosophila hsp70 promoter was demonstrated. This promoter with four and eight HSE sequences in the regulatory region can be proposed as a regulated promoter in genetic therapeutic systems.

Regulation of human heme oxygenase-1 gene expression under thermal stress.
Heme oxygenase-1 is an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, and its human gene promoter contains a putative heat shock element (HHO-HSE). This study was designed to analyze the regulation of human heme oxygenase-1 gene expression under thermal stress. The amounts of heme oxygenase-1 protein were not increased by heat shock (incubation at 42 degrees C) in human alveolar macrophages and in a huma...
متن کاملCoordinate changes in heat shock element-binding activity and HSP70 gene transcription rates in human cells.
Activation of human heat shock gene transcription by heat shock, heavy metal ions, and amino acid analogs required the heat shock element (HSE) in the HSP70 promoter. Both heat shock- and metal ion-induced HSP70 gene transcription occurred independently of protein synthesis, whereas induction by amino acid analogs required protein synthesis. We identified a HSE-binding activity from control cel...
متن کاملStructure and regulation of the SSA4 HSP70 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
SSA4 is the only one of five heat-inducible HSP70 genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae whose expression is restricted to conditions of stress. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of the SSA4 gene with other HSP70 genes indicates that it diverged from its most closely related yeast homologues hundreds of millions of years ago. However, a high degree of identity has been maintained between Ssa4p ...
متن کاملMaximal stress-induced transcription from the human HSP70 promoter requires interactions with the basal promoter elements independent of rotational alignment.
Transcription of the human HSP70 gene is regulated by a complex array of cis-acting promoter elements that respond to conditions that include normal conditions of cell growth and induction following physiological stress. We have examined the requirements of the basal and inducible promoter elements by using promoter mutations and a transient transfection assay. Multiple forms of stress-induced ...
متن کاملNaturally occurring transposable elements disrupt hsp70 promoter function in Drosophila melanogaster.
Naturally occurring transposable element (TE) insertions that disrupt Drosophila promoters are correlated with modified promoter function and are posited to play a significant role in regulatory evolution, but their phenotypes have not been established directly. To establish the functional consequences of these TE insertions, we created constructs with either TE-bearing or TE-lacking hsp70 prom...
