Transcription of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-chain gene is activated in cells exposed to growth factors. We now have identified a homopurine/homopyrimidine domain in the promoter region of the PDGF A-chain gene that exhibits S1 nuclease sensitivity in vitro and that contains a novel binding site (5'-TCCTCCTCCTCCTC-3') for the growth factor inducible transcription factor EGR-1 as demonstrated in gel mobility shift assays. Sequences similar to this novel EGR-1 binding site were observed also in five growth-related genes and shown to bind to EGR-1 in competition assays, suggesting that EGR-1 may influence the transcriptional regulation of these growth-related genes.
血小板衍生生长因子(PDGF)A链基因的转录在暴露于生长因子的细胞中被激活。我们现已在PDGF A链基因的启动子区域鉴定出一个同嘌呤/同嘧啶结构域,该结构域在体外表现出对S1核酸酶敏感,并且含有一个新的生长因子诱导转录因子EGR-1的结合位点(5'-TCCTCCTCCTCCTC-3'),凝胶迁移率变动分析证明了这一点。在五个与生长相关的基因中也观察到与这个新的EGR-1结合位点相似的序列,并且在竞争分析中显示它们能与EGR-1结合,这表明EGR-1可能影响这些与生长相关基因的转录调控。
