Abstract
p53-binding consensus-like sequence (T3SF) is located in the murine promoter region of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 gene. To identify the genes that encode proteins that bind to T3SF DNA sequence, we screened a cDNA library using the Southwestern technique. The SMRT gene was cloned as one of the candidates. Addition of antibody against SMRT reduced the intensity of a band that is supposed to contain SMRT in electrophoresis mobility shift assay, although antibody against p53 had no effect. Ultraviolet (UV)-irradiation reduced the intensity of the SMRT complex whereas p53 complex was stabilized by UV-irradiation. These results suggest that SMRT may bind to T3SF sequence in p53-independent manner and dissociate from the sequence by UV irradiation.
