From DNA fragments in vivo attached to the nuclear matrix in silkglands of Bombyx mori 5th instar larvae, we have screened a matrix association region (M-AR), termed BmMAR1, by means of in vitro binding assay. BmMAR1 was identified to be specifically in vivo attached to the nuclear matrix only in the silkglands, neither in other tissues nor in the silkworm cell line Bm5, indicating its silkgland-relatedness. This 1983-bp DNA fragment contains a 1.1-kb core necessary for the effective in vitro binding although it is of relatively lower A/T composition (61%) compared to the 5' and 3' flanking regions (73 and 69%, respectively). Two degenerate sequences derived from Bm1 and L1Bm repetitive elements are located in the core region. BmMAR1 shares the widely considered typical MAR's features, DNA unwinding motif, A-box, T-box, H-box, replication origin, MAR recognition signature (MRS), the 90%AT box and Drosophila topoisomerase III consensus sequence. Furthermore we compared the occurrences of these patterns in BmMAR1 and some MARs from other organisms. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
