The 62-kb upstream region of Bombyx mori fibroin heavy chain gene is clustered of repetitive elements and candidate matrix association regionsq☆
Gene 312(2003)189-195,-0001,():
We sequenced an 80kb DNA region containing the complete sequence of the silkworm Bombyx mori fibroin gene and its flanking, especially the upstream, regions (262kb). About 30% of the 62kb upstream region is composed of repetitive elements including short interspersed elements Bm1, long interspersed elements L1Bm and mariner-like elements Bmmar1 which are widespread over the silkworm genome. This 62kb region is also enriched of commonly considered matrix association region (MAR) motifs. A total of 25 individual MAR recognition signatures (MRSs) were identified, with 24 at the upstream and one at the downstream region. Combining two newly developed MAR prediction programs (MAR-finder and Chrclass), ten candidate MARs were predicted, with five containing MRS and seven related to the repetitive elements. The wide distribution of nested repetitive elements, candidate MARs, DNase I hypersensitive sites and other potential regulatory factors recognition sites indicates this region is probably a unique huge cis-acting element contributing to the regulation of the spatial and temporal specificity and efficiency of fibroin gene expression.
