  • 摘要:The levels of thymidine kinase (TK; EC 2.7.1.21 ) mRNA were determined in nine established cell lines derived from TK-ts13, a temperature-sensitive mutant cell line that arrests in late G1 phase of the cell cycle at the restrictive temperature. The derivative cell lines carried either a cDNA or a minigene of human TK under the control of TK promoters of different lengths. A tenth cell line carried a human TK cDNA under the control of a simian virus 40 promoter. Two different assays were used to determine the S-phase-specific regulation of human TK mRNA levels in quiescent cells stimulated to proliferate. Results from these two assays indicated that (i) the first two introns of the human TK gene had no effect on the S-phase-specific regulation of TK mRNA levels, although the presence of introns increased the amount of TK mRNA; (ii) similar amounts of TK mRNA were present in cells containing constructs with an 83-base-pair (bp) promoter as with other TK promoters comprising up to approximately 4000 bp of 5' flanking sequence; (iii) a 456-bp promoter was fully S-phase-regulated, whereas the 83-bp promoter was only partially regulated; (iv) a 63-bp promoter was much less regulated than an 83-bp promoter; and (v) the crucial element in the 20-bp fragment comprising bp -83 to -64 has been localized, by site-directed mutagenesis, to the CCAAT element at -70.
