DNase I hypersensitive (DH) sites in a 12-kb genomic fragment carrying the mouse EndoA gene were examined to obtain information on the changes in chromatin structure associated with activation of this gene encoding extra-endodermal cytoskeletal protein A (EndoA) during early mouse embryogenesis. Seven DH sites were found in this locus in parietal yolk-sac-like cells, PYS-2, which produce EndoA constitutively. In differentiated mouse teratocarcinoma F9 cells that produce EndoA inductively, this locus has three DH sites. In both cell lines, these sites were mapped to the upstream region of the promoter, the promoter and the 3' enhancer region. The DNA of PYS-2 cells has one more DH site within the first exon and three additional DH sites within the first intron. These DH sites are not present in DNA from BALB/c 3T3 cells and undifferentiated F9 cells that do not produce EndoA. Thus, the formation of these differentiation-dependent DH sites is required for the differentiation-specific expression of the mouse EndoA. In addition, another strong DH site, which may be associated with the B2 element expression, was detected in the third intron of the gene in undifferentiated F9 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D003850 Deoxyribonuclease I An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerized DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyzes endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA.

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).
