Transfection of chimeric chloramphenicol acetyltransferase plasmids containing various deletions of the human gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) promoter into hamster insulinoma (HIT T15) cells indicated that the region between -180 and +14 is sufficient for basal promoter activity. Two CRE-BP1 binding sites were identified in this promoter region by DNase I footprinting with the bacterially expressed cAMP response element (CRE) binding protein, CRE-BP1. Mutation analyses showed that these two CREs are required for the basal promoter activity, and furthermore that one site, at nucleotide-158, contributed mainly to the cAMP inducibility of the GIP promoter in HIT T15 cells. Interestingly, the GIP promoter activity was repressed by the c-jun proto-oncogene product, possibly through the CREs.
将含有不同缺失的人胃抑制性多肽(GIP)启动子的嵌合氯霉素乙酰转移酶质粒转染到仓鼠胰岛素瘤(HIT T15)细胞中,结果表明 -180 至 +14 之间的区域足以支持基础启动子活性。通过用细菌表达的环磷酸腺苷反应元件(CRE)结合蛋白 CRE-BP1 进行 DNase I 足迹分析,在该启动子区域鉴定出两个 CRE-BP1 结合位点。突变分析表明,这两个 CRE 对于基础启动子活性是必需的,此外,位于核苷酸 -158 的一个位点主要促成了 HIT T15 细胞中 GIP 启动子的环磷酸腺苷诱导性。有趣的是,GIP 启动子活性可能通过 CRE 被 c-jun 原癌基因产物抑制。
