The 5'-flanking region of the human poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase gene was isolated and characterized. The nucleotide sequence of a part of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase gene completely matched that of the cDNA. The transcriptional initiation sites (cap sites) of this gene, located about 166-bp upstream from the translational initiation site, were identified by S1 mapping analysis. Neither CAAT box nor TATA box was found within 500-bp upstream from the cap sites of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase gene. The 200-bp immediately upstream of the cap site had a high G+C content (76.5%) and contained double repeats of the sequence CCGCCC, putative Sp1 binding sites, and a palindromic structure. The 5'-flanking region of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase gene also showed promoter activity in chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay and structural similarity to that of DNA polymerase beta gene.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004256 DNA Polymerase I A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in prokaryotes and may be present in higher organisms. It has both 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but cannot use native double-stranded DNA as template-primer. It is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and is active in both DNA synthesis and repair.
