S1-hypersensitive sites in eukaryotic promoter regions

Received August 8, 1984. Revised October 4, 1984. Accepted October 4, 1984.

We have examined by fine mapping the S1 nuclease-hypersensitivity of the 5' flanking regions of the human ß-globin and rat preproinsulin II genes and of the SV40 origin/enhancer region. In all cases S1-hypersensitive sites are located in known or presumed promoter/regulatory regions. Though a consensus DNA sequence is not evident, all of these sites reside in predominantly homopurine-homopyrimidine stretches. The alternate (non-B) DNA structure which is revealed by the enzymatic probe is a sequence-dependent feature of a short stretch of DNA, which is retained upon transplantation into a foreign environment. The alternate structure exhibits S1-nicking patterns uniquely different from those associated with the presence of Z-DNA.
