SOX3 gen je èlan SOX familije gena koji ima znaèajnu ulogu u procesima neurogeneze i<br />

diferencijacije neurona. Poznato je da je ekspresija humanog SOX3 gena indukovana<br />

retinoiènom kiselinom (RA). U cilju definisanja elemenata odgovrnih za ovu indukciju<br />

napraviljena je serija delecionih konsrukata u okviru 5’ nekodirajuæeg regiona SOX3<br />

gena. Funkcionalna analiza pokazala je da je najmanji od ovih konstrukata duine 31 bp<br />

zadrao sposobnost inducibilnosti RA. Na osnovu rezultata dobijenih u eksperimentima<br />

kotransfekcije sa ovim regionom zakljuèeno je da je dejstvo RA na ekspresiju SOX3 gena<br />

posredovano RXRa nuklearnim receptorom. U eksperimentima smanjene elektroforetske<br />

pokretljivosti pokazano je da se rekombinantni humani RXR protein vezuje za ovaj region.<br />

Mutacionom analizom ovog regiona tj. nizom eksperimenata smanjene<br />

elektroforetske pokretljivosti u kojima je poreðen afinitet vezivanja RXR nuklearnog<br />

receptora za mutirane probe u odnosu na wild type, definisan je RXR vezivni region.<br />

Analiza je pokazala da se ovaj vezivni region sastoji od 2 polumesta razdvojena sa 4bp.<br />

RXR vezivni region okarakterisan u ovom radu razlkuje se po svojoj sekvenci kao i po<br />

strukturi od RXR vezivnih mesta veæ opisanih u literaturi.<br />

MUTATION ANALYSIS OF THE POTENTIAL RXRa RESPONSE ELEMENT<br />

WITHIN REGULATORY REGION OF SOX3 GENE<br />

SOX3 gene is member of SOX gene family which has an important role in the process of<br />

neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation. It is known that the expression of the human<br />

SOX3 gene is induced by retinoic acid (RA). In order to deffine elements responsible for<br />

this induction a series of various deletion constracts of the 5’ noncoding region of the<br />

SOX3 gene has been made. Functional analysis has showed that the shortest of these<br />

constracts 31 bp in length is able to hold RA inducibility. Cotransfection experiments<br />

have indicated that the effect of RA on SOX3 gene expession is mediated by RXR nuclear<br />

receptor. Gelshift and supershift experiments have shown that the human recombinant<br />

RXR protein binds to this region. By comparation of the abiluty of RXR nuclear<br />

receptor to bind to wild type and serious of mutated oligonucleotides using gelshifts experiments,<br />

the RXR respnse region has been determined. Detailed analysis has shown<br />

that this response region consists of two halfsites separated with 4 bp. RXR response region,<br />

caracterised in this study differs by its sequence, as well as its structure, from already<br />

described RXR response elements.
