We report the sequences of a Bombyx mori tRNA1Gly gene, its flanking regions, and its in vitro transcription products. The 5' flanking DNA contains the sequences TATAC, TATTTT and TTC located 30, 18 and 4 nucleotides, respectively, in front of the transcription initiation site. These resemble, in both position and composition, sequences preceding other RNA polymerase III genes of B. mori. A deletion mutant retaining these conserved sequences and an additional 8 bp of flanking DNA is transcribed better than the wild-type gene in cell-free extracts from Xenopus laevis and B. mori. A mutant lacking the conserved sequences is expressed in the frog extract, but is inactive in the homologous system.
我们报道了家蚕tRNA1Gly基因的序列、其侧翼区域及其体外转录产物。5'侧翼DNA在转录起始位点前分别位于30、18和4个核苷酸处含有TATAC、TATTTT和TTC序列。这些序列在位置和组成上与家蚕其他RNA聚合酶III基因之前的序列相似。保留这些保守序列和额外8 bp侧翼DNA的缺失突变体在非洲爪蟾和家蚕的无细胞提取物中比野生型基因转录得更好。缺乏保守序列的突变体在青蛙提取物中表达,但在同源系统中无活性。
