The human M creatine kinase gene enhancer contains multiple functional interacting domains.

Abstract:

:Cis-elements (-933 to -641) upstream of the human M creatine kinase gene cap site contain an enhancer that confers developmental and tissue-specific expression to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene in C2C12 myogenic cells transfected in culture. Division of the enhancer at -770 into a 5' fragment that includes the MyoD binding sites (-933 to -770) and a 3' fragment that includes the MEF-2 binding site (-770 to -641) resulted in two subfragments that showed minimal activity but in combination interacted in a position- and orientation-independent fashion to enhance activity of the SV40 promoter in transient transfection experiments. A 5' enhancer construct (-877 to -832) including only one (the low affinity) MyoD binding site was active when present in multiple copies. In contrast, a 3' enhancer construct (-749 to -732) including the MEF-2 binding site was inactive even when present in multiple copies. However, if the 5' construct was extended to include the high-affinity MyoD binding site (-877 to -803) the 5' and 3' constructs interacted in a position- and orientation-independent fashion to activate the SV40 promoter. Thus, the human M creatine kinase enhancer comprises multiple functional interacting domains.
