摘要
A functional origin of replication was mapped to the transcriptional promoter and exon I of the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene in the mouse and human genomes. This origin was lost in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells with a spontaneous deletion (similar to36 kb) at the 5' end of the HPRT locus. Restoration of HPRT activity by homologous recombination with human/mouse chimeric sequences reconstituted replication origin activity in two independent ES cell lines. Quantitative PCR analyses of abundance of genetic markers in size-fractionated nascent DNA indicated that initiation of DNA replication coincided with the site of insertion in the mouse genome of the 335 bp of human DNA containing the HPRT exon I and a truncated promoter. The genetic information contained in the human sequence and surrounding mouse DNA was analyzed for cis-acting elements that might contribute to selection and functional activation of a mammalian origin of DNA replication.
