Contents • Identification of ERV9 LTR • Identification of R within ERV9 LTR • Mutational Analysis of ERV9 Promoter Region • Mobilization of ERV9 during Primate Evolution • ERV9 LTR in β-globin gene and Axin gene • Evolution of ERV9 • Future study
1. Identification of ERV9 in undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells
Assay of ERV9 LTR promoter activity in different human cell lines
2. Identification of R within ERV9 LTR Identification of R within HERV9 LTR ( LTR12 )
Identification of transcription start sites - Transfection in NT2/D1 cells - Total RNA isolation - Primer extension analysis Using a primer complementary to the CAT coding region
CAT expression assay • CAT gene • Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase • counting the amount of [14C] Chloramphenicol converted to the mono-acetylated forms • Efficient promoter activity region : -70/+6, -70/-7
DNase I footprint analysis : +7 ~ -10 : -33 ~ -54 Sp1 transcription factor binds to -54 ~ -33
Sp1 transcription factor binds to -54 ~ -33
Phylogenetic tree of radiation, insertion time Insertion time of the ERV9 element
5. ERV9 LTR in β-globin gene and Axin gene ERV9 LTR is conserved during primate evolution and possess enhancer activities
β-globin gene region • A. • nuclease hypersensitive site 5,4,3,2,1 • HBE1, HBG2,1 HBBP1, HBD, HBB • B. • Human, Chimpanzee, Gorilla, Orangutan – LTR12 • Gibbon, Monkey – no LTR12
Axin gene - HESAS Result of HESAS
Identified ERV9 Elements Synapomorphic combination of character states i.e. Diagnostic nucleotide substritutions
Future study • ERV9 LTR ( LTR11, LTR12, LTR17, pTR5 ) 분석 • U5 영역의 repeat sequence 분석 • Human genome 전체에서 ERV9 LTR 삽입 상태 분석 • Gene 과 연결된 ERV9 LTR 분석 • Gene 과 연결된 상태에 따라 분석 • ERV9 LTR의 Expression 분석
