초록

MCM 단백질의 암세포내에서 과발현 되는 원인을 규명하기 위하여 mcm7, 2 promoter영역의 전사인자 결합 부위의 역할을 조사하였다. 암세포에서 promoter 활성은 정상세포보다 8배정도 높은 활성을 나타내 특유 전사인자의 존재를 시사하였다. Promoter영 역 에는 E2F 결합부위 와 Myc/Max/Mad단백질 결합 부위로 알려진 I-box가 존재한다. 이들 각각의 변이체 promoter를 작성하여 암세포와 정상세포에서 luciferase reporter 활성을 측정하는 것으로 각 영역의 역할을 검토하였다. 그 결과 정상세포 내에서는 강한 repressor존재 또는 활성을 negative로 조절 할 수 있는 complex의 존재로 promoter활성이 조절되는 반면 암세포 내에서는 I-box에 결합하여 promoter를 활성화시키는 특유 단백질의 존재가 시사되었다.

MCM proteins are essential for eukaryotic DNA replication, playing roles in the initiation and elongation of DNA replication. MCM proteins expression is much higher in malignant tissues than normal tissues. Several reports have indicated the usefulness of MCM proteins as markers of cancer cells in histopathological diagnosis. However, the cause of enhanced expression of MCM proteins in cancer cells remain to be clarified. The purpose of this study is to examine the relative transcriptional activities of human mcm gene promoters in cancer and normal cells. The minimal promoter region required for transcription of a luciferase reporter gene was contained an E-box and one E2F site. In addition, luciferase activities from mcm7 and mcm2 promoter/luciferase gene reporter constructs were significantly increased in cancer cells at 8 times compared with normal cells. E-box and E2F binding site in the promoter of mcm genes are responsible for different mechanism of transcription regulation on the cellular environment.
