Description
  • Abstract en The promoter of the rat aldolase B (AldB) gene functions in vivo as an origin of DNA replication in the cells in which transcription of the gene is repressed. Previously, we identified two closely related DNA-binding proteins, AlF-C1 and AlF-C2, which repressed the AldB gene promoter. We also reported that the binding site of these proteins, site C, is one of the required DNA elements of the AldB gene origin/promoter for autonomously replicating activity in transfected cells. In the present study, we show that AlF-C1 and AlF-C2 bind directly to Orc1, a subunit of the origin recognition complex (ORC). Deletion analyses revealed a functional domain in AlF-C2 for binding to Orc1, which is located separately from the DNA-binding domain. In addition, we found a novel protein-interacting domain in Orc1 required for the binding of AlF-C2, which was conserved in human, mouse and Chinese hamster, but not in Drosophila, frog and yeast. Thus, it is assumed that in mammalian cells, sequence- specific DNA-binding proteins are involved in recruiting ORC to regulate replication initiation and/or transcription repression.
