The effect of methylation of an enhancer on transcription was studied. A 245 bp enhancer-containing a fragment of the LTR of the avian sarcoma virus was methylated in vitro and ligated back into a vector which lacked the upstream enhancer sequence. The transient expression in QT6 cells indicated that methylation of the enhancer-containing sequence severely reduced the extent of transcription.
研究了增强子甲基化对转录的影响。一个含有禽肉瘤病毒长末端重复序列片段的245 bp增强子在体外进行甲基化,然后重新连接到一个缺乏上游增强子序列的载体中。QT6细胞中的瞬时表达表明,含增强子序列的甲基化严重降低了转录程度。
