چکیده

The human GH family consists of five genes, including the placental chorionic somatomammotropins (CS), within a single locus on chromosome 17. Based on nuclease sensitivity, the entire GH/CS locus is accessible in pituitary chromatin, yet only GH-N is expressed. Previously, we reported a P sequence element (263P) capable of repressing placental CS promoter activity in transfected pituitary (GC) cells. Regions of protein binding within 263P include P sequence elements A and B (PSE-A and PSE-B), and we reported nuclear factor-1 (NF-1) recognition of PSE-B. We now provide evidence for multiple interactions on PSE-A, including binding of the regulatory factor X (RFX) family. Disruption of the RFX site within 263P blunts repressor activity in transfected GC cells; however, repression is only abolished when both PSE-A/RFX and PSE-B/NF-1 sites are mutated. The capacity of RFX and NF-1 to participate in a novel common complex is further suggested by coimmunoprecipitation of RFX1 and epitope-tagged NF-1 family members. Finally, we confirm the association of NF-1 and RFX1 with P sequences in human pituitary tissue by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Taken together, our data suggest that an inverse relationship exists between 263P and CS promoter histone hyperacetylation and the association of these factors in vivo.

A member of the nuclear factor-1 family is involved in the pituitary repression of the human placental growth hormone genes.

The human growth hormone (GH) gene family consists of five tandemly arranged and highly related genes, including the chorionic somatomammotropins (CSs), at a single locus on chromosome 17. Despite striking homologies in promoter and flanking DNA sequences, the genes within this locus have different tissue-specific patterns of expression: GH-N is expressed almost exclusively in the somatotrophs ...

P-127: The Effect of Beta Globin Intron on Human FSH Hormone Expression in CHO Cells

Background Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)- a hetrodimeric glycoprotein- is secreted by pituitary gland. This hormone stimulates growth and maturation of the follicles in females and sperms in male. Up to now, glycoprotein hormones such as FSH have produced in different cell lines. Among of the mammalian expression systems, the Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) have taken into consideration ...

The human growth hormone gene family: structure and evolution of the chromosomal locus.

The structure of the human growth hormone gene cluster has been determined over a 78 kilobase region of DNA by the study of two overlapping cosmids. There are two growth hormone genes interspersed with three chorionic somatomammotropin genes, all in the same transcriptional orientation. One of the growth hormone genes lies in an active chromatin conformation in the pituitary and at least one of...

The human growth hormone gene is regulated by a multicomponent locus control region.

The five-member human growth hormone (hGH)/chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) gene cluster encodes the pituitary-specific hGH-N gene and four highly related genes (hGH-V, hCS-A, hCS-B, and hCS-L) that are expressed only in the placenta. When the hGH-N or hCS-A gene, together with all previously identified cis-acting regulatory sequences, was integrated into the mouse genome, it was expressed onl...

Patterns of histone acetylation suggest dual pathways for gene activation by a bifunctional locus control region.

The five genes of the human growth hormone (hGH) cluster are expressed in either the pituitary or placenta. Activation of the cluster is dependent on a locus control region (LCR) comprising pituitary- specific (HSI,II, -15 kb), placenta-specific (HSIV, -30 kb) and shared (HSIII, -28 kb; HSV, -32 kb) DNase I hypersensitive sites. Gene activation in the pituitary is paralleled by acetylation of a...
