title: [Specific interaction of a nuclear protein factor from the CTF/NF-I family with 2 different promoter regions of the rat tyrosine aminotransferase gene].
abstract: Using gel-retardation and DNase I footprinting assays, we have analysed sequence-specific DNA-protein interactions within proximal promoter fragment (from -2 to -210 bp relative to the transcription start) of the rat tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) gene. Two distinct DNase I protection regions flanked at either boundary by sites of DNase I hypersensitivity were observed with the rat-liver nuclear extracts. The internal sequence of the region I non-coding strand, (-155)TGGGCCACCTTCCAAT(-170), is highly homologous to the NF-I consensus sequence TGG(N)6-7TGCCAA and also shares a CCAAT-box; the region II noncoding strand sequence includes asymmetrically positioned (-37)AGCCAAT(-43) recognition motif. Since there have been a number of reports about multiple DNA-binding factors that recognize CCAAT homologies, both regions were likely to interact with either a single or distinct factors. Here we show that both region I and II of the TAT gene promoter are binding to the same factor related to the human CTF/NF-I. The evidence for that is based on competition experiments using the DNA fragment containing a synthetic consensus sequence for the NF-I recognition site and on the indistinguishable chromatographic properties of the activity specifically binding to each of three DNA fragments containing NF-I consensus, region I and region II sequences.
