Interaction of highly purified glucocorticoid receptor complex (GIRC) with synthetic DNA-fragment of mouse metallotionein 1 gene promoter from -209 to -252 b.p. (MTwt) was investigated. By means of nitrocellulose filter binding assay this fragment was shown to contain specific GIRC-binding site. In order to analyse the fine structure of the site, two variants of this DNA-fragment were synthesized and used in gel retardation assay. GIRC specific binding was shown to retain throughout interaction with the fragment in which all base pairs in the surroundings of generally accepted GIRC-binding site consensus G--ACA---TGTTCT C--TGT---ACAAGA were substituted by means of transitions, but it was weaker than the GIRC-binding with MTwt, where the mentioned consensus was situated in the natural surroundings. Complete loss of the GIRC-binding ability was observed when five CG pairs were substituted by AT ones. Two of the CG pairs belonged to the mentioned consensus. Comparison of the data obtained with results of computer analysis allows to consider the consensus as a "core" of GIRC-binding site, flanked with additional elements, interacting with GIRC.

D011965 Receptors, Glucocorticoid Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.

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).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016384 Consensus Sequence A theoretical representative nucleotide or amino acid sequence in which each nucleotide or amino acid is the one which occurs most frequently at that site in the different sequences which occur in nature. The phrase also refers to an actual sequence which approximates the theoretical consensus. A known CONSERVED SEQUENCE set is represented by a consensus sequence. Commonly observed supersecondary protein structures (AMINO ACID MOTIFS) are often formed by conserved sequences. Consensus Sequences,Sequence, Consensus,Sequences, Consensus
