Preferential association of a transcriptionally active gene with the nuclear matrix of rat fibroblasts transformed by a simian-virus-40–pBR322 recombinant plasmid

Abstract: To study the relationship between the structural organization and function of the eukaryotic genome, DNA associated with nuclear matrix was analysed by using a transformed rat fibroblast cell line. The nuclear matrices were prepared from the isolated nuclei of pSV1-FR, a rat fibroblast cell line transformed by a pBR322-based recombinant plasmid containing an early gene region, which codes for large T-antigen, of simian virus 40. This transformed cell contained a single copy of the plasmid sequence integrated i… Show more

“…Rather, they appear to integrate more frequently than does wtSV40. The mechanism(s) of SV40 (and, by extension, rSV40) integration is unknown: the degree of homology between viral and cellular DNA sequences at the integration sites is low [Gilbert and Cohen, 1990;Ogata, 1990]. SV40 DNA is known to associate with nuclear matrix, which brings it into proximity with open chromatin.…”

“…There are also data demonstrating that actively transcribed genes are preferentially associated with the nuclear matrix (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). However, information describing the sequence specificity and the protein components of these MARs is limited.…”

“…(ii) Since colon tumor cell lines are all derived from epithelial adenocarcinoma and not stromal cells, the nuclear matrix proteins from cell lines help to rule out significant stromal protein contamination of the nuclear matrix preparation. Each of the tumorspecific proteins CC-1 through CC-6 can be detected in one or more colon tumor cell lines ( (1994) matrix protein structures are associated with actively transcribed genes (29,30) and serve as sites for processing and transport of heterogeneous nuclear RNA (31,32). Tissuespecific nuclear matrix proteins have been identified in the rat, mouse, and human (21)(22)(23), and changes in the presence or absence of specific nuclear matrix proteins have been associated with cellular transformation and differentiation (29,33,34).…”
