We report on the molecular characterization of the porcine slow-myosin heavy chain (HC) beta gene and the isolation of its 5′ end cDNA. In vivo expression study, by in situ hybridization and histochemistry, revealed a highly regular rosette pattern of fiber arrangement, with a slow fiber occupying the central core, in all the skeletal muscles examined. This feature can be advantageous in the distinction of primary and secondary fibers in myogenic lineage studies. In the neonatal heart, beta isoform expression is diffuse, with higher expression occurring in the ventricle than in the atrium. Transient transfection assays showed the porcine promoter functions in a muscle- and differentiation stage-specific manner. In the 5′ regulatory region are several putative positive and negative regulatory elements, including a positive and a negative element in close proximity to each other in intron 1.

Homeotic (or Hox) genes are key determinants in specifying the anteroposterior axis of most animals. The temporal and spatial expression of these genes requires the presence of large and complex cis-regulatory regions. The Abdominal-B Hox gene of the bithorax complex ofDrosophila is regulated by several infraabdominal domains,which determine Abdominal-B expression in abdominal segments A5 to A9(parasegments 10 to 14). Some of the infraabdominal domains have been characterized, including an infraabdominal-8 domain, which has been located 3′ to the Abdominal-B transcription unit. We have analyzed the expression and mutant phenotype of a P-lacZ element inserted close to the Abdominal-B m origin of transcription and of derivatives of this transposon. Some of these derivatives represent a particular class of mutations in the bithorax complex, because they transform the eighth and ninth abdominal segments without affecting more anterior metameres. The analysis of these mutations and of transformants carrying sequences upstream the Abdominal-B m transcription unit has allowed us to define a new infraabdominal-8 regulatory region, located 5′ to the Abdominal-B transcription unit, and has helped to characterize better the complex regulation of the Abdominal-Bgene.

Mouse t haplotypes contain several mutant alleles that disrupt spermatogenesis. Their phenotypes include sterility, reduced fertility and transmission ratio distortion (TRD). The substantial genetic analyses of these mutant alleles, coupled with intensive physical characterization of the t complex, provides a fertile ground for identifying and understanding genes essential to male gametogenesis. The t complex responder (Tcr) locus plays a central role in this process, interacting with other t haplotype-encoded genes to mediate TRD. A candidate responder gene, Tcp-10bt, has been cloned and subjected to molecular characterization. Here, we define the transcriptional regulatory regions of this gene in transgenic mice. A 1.6 kb (but not 0.6 kb) DNA fragment upstream of the transcription start site contains all the regulatory signals for appropriate temporal and germ cell-specific expression of this gene. Two smaller fragments within this region bound specifically to nuclear factor(s) from germ cell protein extracts in gel shift assays. This work is a step towards understanding the mechanism of Tcp-10bt regulated expression and may ultimately help reveal a common regulatory pathway shared by other similarly expressed spermatogenic genes.
