We have purified a protein from uninfected monkey CV1 cells that binds specifically in vitro to the late-coding simian virus 40 DNA strand in the region of transcription control without any detectable binding to the complementary single strand. Nuclease protection experiments detected two binding sites in the 21-base-pair repeat region. The protein did not bind to this region in the double-stranded form, nor did it bind to RNA synthesized in vitro by using either DNA strand as a template. This protein, and perhaps other DNA single-strand-sequence-specific proteins, may play a role in the control of gene expression in higher organisms.
我们已从未感染的猴CV1细胞中纯化出一种蛋白质,该蛋白质在体外可特异性结合转录控制区域中猿猴病毒40晚期编码DNA链,而与互补单链无任何可检测到的结合。核酸酶保护实验在21个碱基对的重复区域检测到两个结合位点。该蛋白质不以双链形式结合此区域,也不与以任何一条DNA链为模板体外合成的RNA结合。这种蛋白质,或许还有其他DNA单链序列特异性蛋白质,可能在高等生物的基因表达调控中发挥作用。
