Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 and the
RX, a homeodomain-containing protein essential
for proper eye development (Mathers, P. H. Grinberg, A., Mahon,
K. A., and Jamrich, M. (1997) Nature 387, 603-607),
binds to the photoreceptor conserved element-1 (PCE-1/Ret 1) in the
photoreceptor cell-specific arrestin promoter and stimulates gene
expression. RX is found in many retinal cell types including
photoreceptor cells. Another homeodomain-containing protein, CRX, which
binds to the OTX element to stimulate promoter activity, is found
exclusively in photoreceptor cells (Chen, S., Wang, Q. L., Nie,
Z., Sun, H., Lennon, G., Copeland, N. G., Gillbert, D. J. Jenkins, N. A., and Zack, D. J. (1997) Neuron 19, 1017-1030; Furukawa, T., Morrow, E. M., and Cepko, C. L. (1997) Cell 91, 531-541). Binding assay and cell culture studies indicate that both PCE-1 and OTX elements and at least two
different regulatory factors RX and CRX are necessary for high level,
photoreceptor cell-restricted gene expression. Thus, photoreceptor
specificity can be achieved by multiple promoter elements interacting
with a combination of both photoreceptor-specific regulatory factors
and factors present in closely related cell lineages.
The nucleotide sequence(s) reported in this paper has been submitted to the GenBankTM/EMBL Data Bank with accession number(s) AF115392.
