Structural homologies and functional similarities between mammalian origins of replication and amplification promoting sequences

Abstract: MuNTS2, a 423 bp sequence isolated from the non-transcribed spacer of murine rDNA stimulates the amplification of cis-linked plasmid DNA in mouse cells under selective conditions. Here we demonstrate that a 180 bp subdomain of muNTS2 is highly homologous (approximately 70%) to three domains of the first well-characterized origin of replication of mammalian chromosomes, i.e. the origin of bidirectional replication (OBR) of the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) locus in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. When subcl… Show more

“…Substituting the aux-2 sequences by APS1 (lane 3) or APS2 (lane 4) at the late side increases replication efficiency to approximately 50% and 70%, respectively, as compared with the full-length origin (lane 1). On the other hand, insertion of a fragment of the DH-FR origin, which shares 73% homology with APS2 (Stolzenburg et al 1994) or of a fragment from the 28S rRNA coding region does not restore replication (lanes 5, 6, respectively). This result demonstrates that both APS elements specifically reactivate the core 1 origin of SV40 DNA replication.…”
