Abstract:
:The promoters of mammalian striated muscle actin gene contain binding sites for a number of transcription factors. Examples are the CArG boxes, which bind a protein identical to or related to serum response factor (SRF), E boxes, which bind myogenic determination factors such as MyoD and myogenin, and -CCGCCC- motifs, which bind the transcription factor Sp1. To date, the only mammalian sequences isolated and analyzed are from rodent and human. We have now isolated and sequenced the bovine gene encoding alpha skeletal actin, including almost 3 kb of 5'-flanking region. When compared to the human and rodent genes (the only ones previously cloned and for which 5'-flanking sequences to only approximately -750 are known), there was the expected conservation in the coding region. A comparison of the promoter regions indicated that the bovine gene has three CArG boxes in the 5'-flanking region in positions identical to those in other species. The bovine proximal promoter is unique from those of human and rodent in that it has only one E box in the vicinity of the TATA box, near -350, whereas the other mammals have three. Far upstream sequences reveal clusters of E boxes near -2,500 and -1,500. A minimal promoter element, to -297, which has no E boxes, is sufficient to activate transcription in myotubes derived from rat L6 and mouse C2C12 myoblasts.
