The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the genomic clone, spanning at least the first two exons of the rat Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 2 subunit-encoding gene and 6.5 kb of the 5'-flanking region, has been determined. S1 nuclease mapping analysis of the 5' end of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase mRNA indicated that the transcription start point (tsp) is located 105 bp upstream from the start codon. The tsp was identical among three adult-rat tissues (brain, skeletal muscle and heart) which produce the alpha 2 isoform. A TATA-like sequence was found 33 bp upstream from the tsp. In addition, multiple consensus binding sites for a wide variety of regulatory proteins were present throughout the upstream and downstream tsp-flanking regions. A remarkable conservation in the nt sequence of the 5'-flanking region was confirmed between the rat and human genes.

We have isolated and analyzed the genes encoding the human and rat gastric H,K-ATPase catalytic subunits. The complete sequence of the human gene, including 2.2 kb of 5'-flanking sequence, and the 5' end of the rat gene, including exons 1-4 and 2.5 kb of 5'-flanking sequence, have been determined. The human gene contains 22 exons. Its intron-exon organization is identical to that of the Na,K-ATPase gene, except that exon 6 corresponds to a fusion of exons 6 and 7 of the Na,K-ATPase gene. The transcription initiation sites of both the human and rat genes were determined by primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analyses. Comparison of the 5'-flanking regions of the human and rat genes revealed three extended regions of high sequence similarity, one of which includes a potential TATA box and other basic promoter elements beginning about 30 nucleotides upstream of the transcription start site. Other conserved sequences, including possible response elements for Ca2+ and cAMP, which are known intracellular mediators of acid secretion, are located up to 2 kb 5' to the transcription initiation site.

Genomic clones containing the 5'-flanking region and exon 1 of the human and rat Na,K-ATPase alpha 3 isoform gene have been isolated and characterized. The nucleotide sequences of 1.6 kb of the rat gene and 2.8 kb of the human gene in the 5'-flanking region were determined. Mapping of transcription initiation sites by primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analyses indicates that transcription is initiated in the same region in both genes although the rat gene has a greater number of initiation sites. Neither gene has a canonical TATA box, having instead a ATAT sequence preceding the transcription initiation sites. There is a perfect CCAAT sequence, in the reverse orientation, approximately 30 bp upstream of the potential TATA box in both genes. We have identified potential binding sites for transcription factors Sp-1, AP-1, AP-2, and AP-4, as well as for glucocorticoid and thyroid hormone receptors in the 5'-flanking regions. These are conserved in both human and rat alpha 3 isoform genes.

We have determined the structure of the gene that encodes the alpha 2 isoform of the human Na,K-ATPase. The gene contains 23 exons and spans approximately 25 kilobases. The amino acid sequence of the human alpha 2 isoform deduced from the genomic sequence exhibits 99% identity to the rat alpha 2 isoform. One of the nine amino acid differences between the human and rat sequences occurs at an amino acid position which is known to be involved in species differences in sensitivity of the alpha 1 isoform to cardiac glycosides. Approximately 1500 base pairs of sequence flanking the 5' end of the alpha 2 gene have been determined. This region contains numerous potential AP-1, AP-2, and NF-1-binding sites, a potential Sp1 recognition site, and several sequences that are similar to the glucocorticoid receptor-binding site. The transcription start site was mapped by primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analyses of RNA from human brain, skeletal muscle, and heart. Multiple transcription initiation sites are clustered between residues -104 to -99 relative to the translation initiation codon. A potential TATA box is located 29 base pairs upstream of the first transcription initiation site. Immediately 5' to the apparent TATA box is a 35-base pair polypurine.polypyrimidine tract containing an imperfect mirror repeat which resembles sequences that form triple-stranded structures. Two intragenic DNA probes which detect restriction fragment length polymorphisms associated with the alpha 2 gene have been identified. These probes will be useful in genetic linkage analyses designed to define the possible role of the Na,K-ATPase in certain hereditary disorders.

In the accompanying paper, RecA142 protein was found to be completely defective in DNA heteroduplex formation. Here, we show that RecA142 protein not only is defective in this activity but also is inhibitory for certain activities of wild-type RecA protein. Under appropriate conditions, RecA142 protein substantially inhibits the DNA strand exchange reaction catalyzed by wild-type RecA protein; at equimolar concentrations of each protein, formation of full-length gapped duplex DNA product molecules is less than 7% of the amount produced by wild-type protein alone. Inhibition by RecA142 protein is also evident in S1 nuclease assays of DNA heteroduplex formation, although the extent of inhibition is less than is observed for the complete DNA strand exchange process; at equimolar concentrations of wild-type and mutant proteins, the extent of DNA heteroduplex formation is 36% of the wild-type protein level. This difference implies that RecA142 protein prevents, at minimum, the branch migration normally observed during DNA strand exchange. RecA142 protein does not inhibit either the single-strand (ss) DNA-dependent ATPase activity or the coaggregation activities of wild-type RecA protein. This suggests that these reactions are not responsible for the inhibition of wild-type protein DNA strand exchange activity by RecA142 protein. However, under conditions where RecA142 protein inhibits DNA strand exchange activity, RecA142 protein renders the M13 ssDNA-dependent ATPase activity of wild-type protein sensitive to inhibition by single-strand DNA-binding protein, and it inhibits the double-strand DNA-dependent ATPase activity of wild-type RecA protein. These results imply that these two activities are important components of the overall DNA strand exchange process. These experiments also demonstrate the applicability of using defective mutant RecA proteins as specific codominant inhibitors of wild-type protein activities in vitro and should be of general utility for mechanistic analysis of RecA protein function both in vitro and in vivo.

To delineate the role of the vaccinia virus-encapsidated DNA-dependent ATPase I in the life cycle of the virus, we performed a detailed study of two temperature-sensitive mutants with lesions in the gene encoding the enzyme. Profiles of viral DNA and protein accumulation during infection showed the mutants to be competent for DNA synthesis but deficient in late protein synthesis, confirming their defective late phenotype (R. C. Condit and A. Motyczka, Virology 113:224-241, 1981: R. C. Condit, A. Motyczka, and G. Spizz, Virology 128:429-443, 1983). In vitro translation of viral RNA and S1 nuclease mapping of selected mRNAs demonstrated that the deficit in late protein synthesis stemmed from a defect in the transcriptional machinery. Intermediate and late gene expression appeared to be most affected. The transcriptional defect was of unequal severity in the two mutants. However, their phenotypes were indistinguishable and their respective lesions were mapped to the same 300 nucleotides at the 5' end of the gene. DNA sequence analysis assigned a single nucleotide and amino acid change to one of the mutants.

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the Drosophila DNA topoisomerase II gene. Data from primer extension and S1 nuclease protection experiments were combined with comparisons of genomic and cDNA sequences to determine the structure of the mature messenger RNA. This message has a large open reading frame of 4341 nucleotides. The length of the predicted protein is 1447 amino acids with a molecular weight of 164,424. Topoisomerase II can be divided into three domains: (1) an N-terminal region with homology to the B (ATPase) subunit of the bacterial type II topoisomerase, DNA gyrase; (2) a central region with homology to the A (breaking and rejoining) subunit of DNA gyrase; (3) a C-terminal region characterized by alternating stretches of positively and negatively charged amino acids. DNA topoisomerase II from the fruit fly shares significant sequence homology with those from divergent sources, including bacteria, bacteriophage T4 and yeasts. The location and distribution of homologous stretches in these sequences are analyzed.

A total of 29 human genomic DNA clones that hybridize with cDNAs for the sheep and rat Na,K-ATPase beta subunits have been isolated, classified by restriction endonuclease mapping and Southern blot hybridization analysis, and sequenced. One class of clones, designated ATP1BL1, represents a processed pseudogene for the beta subunit. The second class, designated ATP1B, includes 15 overlapping genomic clones and represents a functional gene for the human Na,K-ATPase beta subunit. ATP1B spans about 26.7 kb of genomic DNA and includes 24 kb of intron sequence. The complete mRNA transcript for the human beta subunit is encoded by six exons, ranging in size from 81 to 1427 bp. Primer extension and S1 nuclease protection experiments with human kidney RNA indicate the presence of two major transcription initiation sites at -510 and -201 to -191, with minor initiation sites at -268, -182 to -174, and -142. The distal initiation site at -510 is preceded by consensus sequences for CAAT and TATA boxes. The DNA sequence preceding the proximal heterogeneous initiation sites contains a CAAT box, but no TATA box. Two of the 12 GC boxes (GGCGGG and CCCGCC) located in the 5' region of ATP1B are located between this CAAT box and the proximal clusters of transcription initiation sites.

We have investigated some characteristics of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-dependent ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase) mRNA from smooth muscle using specific cDNA probes isolated from a rat heart cDNA library. RNA blot analysis has shown that the Ca2+-ATPase mRNA expressed in smooth muscle is identical in size to the cardiac mRNA but differs from that of fast skeletal muscle. S1 nuclease mapping has moreover shown that the cardiac and smooth muscle isoforms possess different 3'-end sequences. These results indicate that a distinct sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase mRNA is present in smooth muscle.

We have isolated two genomic clones which together encode the Ca2+-ATPase of rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. One of the two 16.5 kilobase (kb) genomic inserts in the lambda phage vector Charon 4A contains 23 exons extending from the polyadenylation site at the 3' end of the ATPase gene to within 38 nucleotides of the translation initiation codon in the 5' exon. An overlapping genomic insert of 16.5 kb contains the remainder of the 5' exon and a further 8 kb of upstream sequence. S1 nuclease mapping and primer extension analysis of the 5' end of the Ca2+-ATPase mRNA indicate that the transcription initiation site is located 185 base pairs (bp) upstream of the translation initiation codon. A "TATA" box (CA-TAAA) was found at position -30 and the sequence CCAAT was found at position -78 relative to the transcription initiation site. In a previous study (Brandl, C. J., de Leon, S., Martin, D. R., and MacLennan, D. H. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 3768-3774) cDNAs for neonatal and adult forms of the fast-twitch Ca2+-ATPase were shown to encode different carboxyl-terminal sequences, presumably as a result of alternative splicing. We have now found that these different DNA sequences encoding different carboxyl-terminal sequences are located in different exons. Exon boundaries of the Ca2+-ATPase gene did not correlate well with proposed domain boundaries for the Ca2+-ATPase protein. The locations of exon/intron boundaries were only partially conserved between the Ca2+-ATPase gene and a Na+/K+-ATPase gene (Ovchinnikov, Y. A., Monastyrskaya, G. S., Broude, N. E., Allikmets, R. L., Ushkaryov, Y. A., Melkov, A. M., Smirnov, Y. V., Malyshev, I. V., Dulubova, I. E., Petrukhin, K. E., Gryshin, A. V., Sverdlov, V. E., Kiyatkin, N. I., Kostina, M. B., Modyanov, N. N., and Sverdlov, E. D. (1987) FEBS Lett. 213, 73-80) and they did not follow closely the boundaries of amino acid sequences that are highly conserved among a group of ion transport ATPases.
