SummaryTissue factor (TF) is a membrane anchored glycoprotein that initiates blood coagulation by forming a complex with circulating factor VII or VIIa. TF has been identified in atherosclerotic plaques and may possibly trigger thrombosis after spontaneous plaque rupture as seen in acute myocardial infarction or angioplasty. We have previously developed an atherosclerotic rabbit model for study of the acute and chronic outcomes following angioplasty. As a first step in developing inhibitors of TF, we have isolated and characterized a rabbit cDNA coding for the mature TF. The sequence comparison of rabbit TF cDNA with those of human and mouse TFs show considerable similarity at both the nucleotide and amino acid levels. The TF cDNA when expressed in E. coli demonstrates a procoagulant activity comparable to that of native rabbit brain TF. The TF activity can be blocked by a polyclonal antibody against rabbit TF.

Abstract Cis-element identification is a prerequisite to understand transcriptional regulation of gene loci. From analysis of a limited number of conserved gene loci, sequence comparison has proved a robust and efficient way to locate cis-elements. Human and mouse GATA1 genes encode a critical hematopoietic transcription factor conserved in expression and function. Proper control of GATA1 transcription is critical in regulating myeloid lineage specification and maturation. Here, we compared sequence and systematically mapped position of DNase I hypersensitive sites, acetylation status of histone H3/H4, and in vivo binding of transcription factors over approximately 120 kilobases flanking the human GATA1 gene and the corresponding region in mice. Despite lying in approximately 10 megabase (Mb) conserved syntenic segment, the chromatin structures of the 2 homologous loci are strikingly different. The 2 previously unidentified hematopoietic cis-elements, one in each species, are not conserved in position and sequence and have enhancer activity in erythroid cells. In vivo, they both bind the transcription factors GATA1, SCL, LMO2, and Ldb1. More broadly, there are both species- and regulatory element–specific patterns of transcription factor binding. These findings suggest that some cis-elements regulating human and mouse GATA1 genes differ. More generally, mouse human sequence comparison may fail to identify all cis-elements.
