Identification of a nuclear DNA binding protein associated with the interferon-beta upstream regulatory region. 1987

S Xanthoudakis, and J Hiscott

Nuclear protein extracts were prepared from uninduced myeloid leukemic KG-1 cells and analyzed for interferon-specific DNA binding by a gel electrophoresis DNA binding assay. A protein was detected that bound specifically to a 163-base pair upstream region of the IFN-beta promoter. A series of competition studies were performed to assess whether this was a general DNA binding protein; binding of this factor was competed from radiolabeled beta 163 fragment only by an excess of cold unlabeled beta 163 or a 67-base pair fragment (beta 67) derived from beta 163. Other promoter and enhancer transcriptional domains including 1) c-fos serum responsive element, 2) c-fos promoter, 3) SV40 enhancer, 4) IFN-alpha 1 promoter, and 5) plasmid pAT153 did not compete effectively for binding of the protein. These results indicate that this protein is not a general enhancer or promoter binding factor and may be unique to IFN-beta. Analysis of beta 67 DNA sequences revealed no homology to known recognition sequences for Sp1 or CTF transcription factors.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
