Developmental regulation and tissue-specific expression of the human muscle creatine kinase gene

To define mechanisms regulating expression of M creatine kinase, the human gene including 5'-flanking DNA was cloned, characterized, and partially sequenced. The gene contains 8 exons interrupted by 7 introns spanning 17.5 kilobase pairs of DNA. The intron-exon splice sites were identified and conform to the GT-AG consensus rule. The TATA and CAAT boxes are located at positions -31 and -56 upstream of the transcription start site as determined by primer extension. The 5'- untranslated region is interrupted with the translation start codon located in the second exon. To determine whether sequences within the 5'-upstream DNA confer tissue-specific expression and developmental regulation, constructs containing 2620 base pairs of human M creatine kinase 5'-flanking DNA fused upstream of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene in the promoterless plasmid pSVO-CAT were transfected into cultured C2C12 myoblasts. There was 17-fold induction of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity during differentiation as C2C12 myoblasts fused to form myotubes. The M creatine kinase fusion construct was not expressed in transfected nonmuscle cell lines, COS-7 and NIH/3T3. Thus, cis-acting sequences within 2620 base pairs of the cap site are sufficient to direct developmental regulation and tissue- specific expression of the human M creatine kinase gene.
