We have carried out a structural and functional analysis on the human NF-L (H-NF-L) gene. It contains a methylation-free island, spanning the 5' flanking sequences and the first exon and a number of neuronal-specific DNase I hypersensitive sites have been identified in the upstream region as well as within the body of the gene. Analysis in cell lines and transgenic mice using a combination of these sites has revealed the presence of a conserved element(s) between -300bp and -190bp which is required for neuronal-specific expression.
我们对人类神经丝轻链(H-NF-L)基因进行了结构和功能分析。它包含一个无甲基化岛,跨越5'侧翼序列和第一个外显子,并且在基因上游区域以及基因内部已鉴定出多个神经元特异性DNase I超敏位点。使用这些位点的组合对细胞系和转基因小鼠进行的分析表明,在-300bp至-190bp之间存在一个保守元件,这是神经元特异性表达所必需的。
