In recent years, some transcription factors have been observed to remain associated with mitotic chromatin. Based on these observations, it is suggested that these chromatin-bound transcription factors may serve as 'epigenetic marks' for transmission of pattern of gene expression from progenitor to progeny cells. In this context, our laboratory has reported that nuclear receptor PXR, a master regulator of xenobiotic metabolism, remains constitutively associated with mitotic chromatin. However, the region responsible for this interaction with chromatin remained unknown. In this study, we have shown, for the first time, that mitotic chromatin association of this factor is mediated by the combined action of two zinc fingers present in the DNA-binding domain of PXR. Overall, the nuclear localization signal (NLS) region appears to play a major role in this interaction with mitotic chromatin. Also, we have identified a sub-region of 11 amino acid residues within NLS region of PXR (R66-76R) essential for receptor interaction with the mitotic chromatin. Interestingly, this minimal region is sequence-specific and independent of its basic charge. We have termed this minimal sub-region as 'mitotic chromatin binding-determining region' (MCBR). It is suggested that this receptor region is essential for activation of its target genes. Additionally, we have shown that PXR remains associated with the everted repeat (ER6) region of its major target gene, CYP3A4 promoter during mitosis implying its suggested role in 'gene bookmarking'.

核受体PXR中的核定位信号区域控制着受体与有丝分裂染色质的缔合。

近年来,已观察到某些转录因子仍与有丝分裂染色质相关。基于这些观察结果,建议这些与染色质结合的转录因子可以作为“表观遗传标记”,用于将基因表达模式从祖细胞传给子代细胞。在这种情况下,我们的实验室报告说,核受体PXR(异生物代谢的主要调节剂)仍然与有丝分裂染色质组成性相关。然而,负责与染色质相互作用的区域仍然未知。在这项研究中,我们首次证明了该因子的有丝分裂染色质缔合是由存在于PXR DNA结合域中的两个锌指的联合作用介导的。总体,核定位信号(NLS)区似乎在与有丝分裂染色质的这种相互作用中起主要作用。此外,我们已经确定了PXR(R66-76R)的NLS区域内11个氨基酸残基的亚区域,该区域对于受体与有丝分裂染色质的相互作用至关重要。有趣的是,该最小区域是序列特异性的,并且与其基本电荷无关。我们将这个最小子区域称为“有丝分裂染色质结合决定区域”(MCBR)。建议该受体区域对于其靶基因的激活是必不可少的。此外,我们已经显示,PXR在有丝分裂期间仍与其主要靶标基因CYP3A4启动子的外翻重复(ER6)区相关联,暗示其在“基因书签”中的暗示作用。我们在PXR(R66-76R)的NLS区域内确定了11个氨基酸残基的亚区域,该区域对于受体与有丝分裂染色质的相互作用至关重要。有趣的是,该最小区域是序列特异性的,并且与其基本电荷无关。我们将这个最小子区域称为“有丝分裂染色质结合决定区域”(MCBR)。建议该受体区域对于其靶基因的激活是必不可少的。此外,我们已经显示,PXR在有丝分裂期间仍与其主要靶标基因CYP3A4启动子的外翻重复(ER6)区相关联,暗示其在“基因书签”中的暗示作用。我们在PXR(R66-76R)的NLS区域内确定了11个氨基酸残基的亚区域,该区域对于受体与有丝分裂染色质的相互作用至关重要。有趣的是,该最小区域是序列特异性的,并且与其基本电荷无关。我们将这个最小子区域称为“有丝分裂染色质结合决定区域”(MCBR)。建议该受体区域对于其靶基因的激活是必不可少的。此外,我们已经显示,PXR在有丝分裂期间仍与其主要靶标基因CYP3A4启动子的外翻重复(ER6)区相关联,暗示其在“基因书签”中的暗示作用。这个最小区域是序列特异性的,并且与其基本电荷无关。我们将这个最小子区域称为“有丝分裂染色质结合决定区域”(MCBR)。建议该受体区域对于其靶基因的激活是必不可少的。此外,我们已经显示,PXR在有丝分裂期间仍与其主要靶标基因CYP3A4启动子的外翻重复(ER6)区相关联,暗示其在“基因书签”中的暗示作用。这个最小区域是序列特异性的,并且与其基本电荷无关。我们将这个最小子区域称为“有丝分裂染色质结合决定区域”(MCBR)。建议该受体区域对于其靶基因的激活是必不可少的。此外,我们已经显示,PXR在有丝分裂期间仍与其主要目标基因CYP3A4启动子的外翻重复(ER6)区相关联,暗示其在“基因书签”中的建议作用。
