| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a function analysis of the human type I collagen alpha1(1) chain gene (COL1A1)promoter and analyzed the DNA binding factors for the transcriptional enhancement region.A luciferase assay was carried out using DNA in which the COL1A1 promoter had gradually been deleted starting at the upstream side. A gel shift assay was performed by 32P radio-labeling DNA fragments from -401 to -332 and using fibroblastnuclear proteins.The luciferase assay showed almost the same level of activity in the deletions down to -402,but activity decreased markedly in the deletions down to -332,and the transcription regulatory region appeared to lie between them.When a gel shift assay was performed using DNA fragments from -402 to -332, a band that suggested binding of a protein was observed. AS a result of a competition assay whis DNA in which substitution mutations had been introduced,a protein thatbound to the -386 to -371 region was found.
