Nuclear factor I (NF) represses the transcription which is promoted by the cloned adenovirus (Ad) type 5 DNA replication origin and is reverse-oriented with respect to the direction of the replication. The mechanism of this repression by NFI was investigated. In the cell-free transcription system, the repression was observed only when NFI was present during the formation of the transcription initiation complex. From the results of DNase I protection experiments, it was indicated that NFI bound to its binding site in the Ad replication origin prevents TFIID from proper binding to the adjacent AT-rich region and consequently represses the transcription.
核因子I(NF)抑制由克隆的5型腺病毒(Ad)DNA复制起点所促进且相对于复制方向呈反向的转录。研究了NFI这种抑制作用的机制。在无细胞转录系统中,仅当在转录起始复合物形成过程中存在NFI时才观察到这种抑制作用。从脱氧核糖核酸酶I保护实验结果表明,NFI与其在腺病毒复制起点中的结合位点结合会阻止TATA盒结合蛋白(TFIID)与相邻富含AT的区域正常结合,从而抑制转录。
