Tissue-specific promoters regulate aromatase cytochrome P450 gene expression in human ovary and fetal tissues
Abstract
The formation of estrogens from C19 steroids is catalyzed by a specific form of cytochrome P450, aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450AROM; the product of the CYP19 gene). Previous studies have demonstrated that aromatase activity in human adipose and ovarian granulosa cells is subject to complex multifactorial regulation and that changes in activity are correlated with changes in the levels of mRNA encoding P450AROM. We have previously isolated the human CYP19 gene. Two unique untranslated first exons (exons I.1 and I.2) have been identified in mRNA specific for P450AROM in human placenta. Although the proportion of transcripts encoding exon I.2 is very small, genomic clones encoding the sequences of both exons I.1 and I.2 have recently been isolated. The corpus luteum of human ovary differs in that promoters I.1 and I.2 are completely inactive. Sequence analysis of the DNA immediately 5' of exon II (which contains the start site of translation) demonstrates the presence of a TATAA sequence beginning 149 basepairs 5' of the ATG initiation codon identified in placental exon II. Using a combination of primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analysis, it appears that the initiation site of ovarian P450AROM transcripts aligns 26 basepairs down-stream of the sequence TATAA. It appears, therefore, that the expression of P450AROM-specific mRNA in corpus luteum is regulated by an additional promoter (promoter II), which is located just 5' of exon II. Consistent with these observations, Northern analysis of poly(A)+ RNA isolated from placenta and corpus luteum demonstrates that the major promoter of placental P450AROM is promoter I.1, while the major promoter in the corpus luteum is promoter II.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
