ABSTRACT Previous studies characterized macromolecular differences between Xenopus and Rana transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA) (Gaskins et al.,1989, Nucl. Acids Res. 17, 781 - 794). In the present study, cDNAs for TFIIIA from Xenopus borealis and Rana catesbeiana (American bullfrog) were cloned and sequenced in order to gain molecular insight into the structure, function, and species variation of TFIIIA and the TFIIIAtype zinc finger. X. borealis and R. catesbeiana TFIIIAs have 339 and 335 amino acids respectively, 5 and 9 fewer than X. laevis TFIIIA. X. borealis TFIIIA exhibited 84% sequence homology (55 amino acid differences) with X. laevis TFIIIA and R. catesbeiana TFIIIA exhibited 63% homology (128 amino acid changes) with X. Iaevis TFIIIA. This sequence variation is not random; the Cterminal halves of these TFIIIAs contain substantially more non-conservative changes than the N-terminal halves. In particular, the N-terminal region of TFIIIA (that region forming strong DNA contacts) is the most conserved and the C-terminal tail (that region involved in transcription promotion) the most divergent. Hydropathy analyses of these sequences revealed zinc finger periodicity in the N-terminal halves, extreme hydrophilicity in the C-terminal halves, and a different C-terminal tail hydropathy for R. catesbeiana TFIIIA. Although considerable sequence variation exists in these TFIIIA zinc fingers, the Cys/His, Tyr/Phe and Leu residues are strictly conserved between X. laevis and X. borealis. Strict conservation of only the Cys/His motif is observed between X. laevis and R. catesbeiana TFIIIA. Overall, Cys/His zinc fingers in TFIIIA are much less conserved than Cys/Cys fingers in erythroid transcription factor (Eryf 1) and also less conserved than homeo box domains in segmentation genes. The collective evidence indicates that TFIIIA evolved from a common precursor containing up to 12 finger domains which subsequently evolved at different rates.

INTRODUCTION Transcription of 5S ribosomal RNA genes in Xenopus oocytes requires RNA polymerase HI and at least three additional factors (1,2). One of these proteins, transcription factor IHA (TFIIHA), has a mass of about 40,000 Daltons and promotes transcription by binding to the 50 bp internal control region (ICR) of the 5S

RNA gene (1,3,4). TFIHA contains zinc and requires the metal for function (5). The amino acid sequence of Xenopus laevis TFIIIA (6) contains at least nine repetitive domains (fingers), each with the potential to coordinate a zinc ion between two cysteine and two histidine residues (7,8). In vitro mutagenesis studies suggest a region comprising the N-terminal fingers has a major role in forming DNA contacts with the 3' portion of the 5S RNA gene ICR (9,10,1 1) whereas the C-terminal tail has a major role in promoting transcription (9). Although TFIIIA was the first DNA binding protein shown to require zinc for function and contain zinc fingers, many other gene regulatory proteins containing amino acid repeats similar to those found in TFIIIA have since been described in a wide variety of organisms (12). Types of zinc fingers found in eukaryotic gene regulatory proteins include the Cys/His motif exemplified by TFIIIA and the Cys/Cys motif exemplified by steroid hormone receptors (13) and the erythroid transcription factor (14). Zinc fingers are common evolutionary threads connecting major classes of eukaryotic DNA binding proteins. Recently, the examination of species variation in the erythroid transcription factor revealed that the Cys/Cys zinc fingers in this protein are evolving at an extremely slow rate, comparable to some histone genes (14). Earlier work documented high degrees of conservation in homeo box domains of segmentation genes (15,16). Species variation in TFIHA was previously examined at the macromolecular level and differences were observed in the immunological, DNA binding, and transcription promotion properties of Xenopus and Rana TFIHIA (17). In the present study, the sequences of fulllength, TFIIHA cDNAs from X. borealis and R. catesbeiana are reported. Similarities and differences in these amino acid sequences provide insight into TFiIA structure and function and indicate a high rate of evolution for the TFIA-type zinc finger.

METHODS AND MATERIALS RNA isolation and northern blotting Poly(A) RNA was isolated from the ovarian tissue of immature Xenopus borealis (4-5 cm frogs, Nasco, WI) and Rana catesbeiana (6-7 cm frogs, W. Lemberger, Oshkosh, WI) by the guanidinium isothiocyanate-SDS-proteinase K method (18) utilizing the Invitrogen (La Jolla, CA) Fast Track mRNA isolation system. The tissue was homogenized in lysis buffer and the homogenate was applied directly to an oligo(dT) cellulose column for selection of poly(A) RNA. Poly(A)+ RNA was eluted off the column in low ionic strength buffer, ethanol precipitated, and quantitated by absorbance at 260 nm. Approximately 100 ,ug of

Isolation of cDNA inserts and DNA sequence analysis Lambda gtlO bacteriophage clones containing cDNA inserts that cross-hybridized with the X. laevis TFIIIA cDNA were purified as described previously (23). Phage DNAs were digested with EcoRI or NotI and electrophoresed through a 1 % agarose gel. Insert cDNAs were electroeluted and ligated into Phagescript M13 bacteriophage RF (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) that had been digested with EcoRI or NotI. Single-stranded phage DNA containing inserts were purified and partially sequenced by the dideoxy chain termination method (24) using a modified form of T7 DNA polymerase (Sequenase, United States Biochemical, Cleveland, OH). One cDNA insert was sequenced completely on both strands utilizing a series of complementary oligonucleotides as primers (obtained from K. Jackson, St. Francis Research Facility of Tulsa, OK). Nucleotide and amino acid sequences were analyzed with software packages from Genetics Computer Group (Madison, WI, ref. 25) and Beckman Instruments (Palo Alto, CA, ref. 26).

poly(A)+ selected)

RNA was isolated from 1 g ovarian tissue. Total RNA (not was also isolated from Xenopus laevis ovarian tissue and liver. 5 jig of the respective RNAs were glyoxylated and electrophoresed on 1 % agarose gels and transferred to a nylon membrane (19,20). Xenopus laevis TFIIJA cDNA (a generous gift from William Jack and Robert Roeder) was nick-translated with [&32P] dATP to a specific activity of 108 cpm4Lg DNA. Probe hybridization to the northern filter was performed in 0.1IM PIPES, 0.8M NaCl, 5 X Denhardt's, 0.1I% sarkosyl, and 200 ug/mi denatured salmon sperm DNA at 550C for 24 hours. After washing in 0. 2 X SSC, 0. 05 % sarkosyl, and 0.02 % sodium pyrophosphate for 2 hours at 50'C the filters were exposed to Kodak X-OMAT AR5 film.

RESULTS Identification of TFIIIA mRNA from X. borealis and R. catesbeiana Ovarian tissue RNA from immature X. borealis and R. catesbeiana was examined for the presence of transcripts which cross-hybridize with the 32P-labeled Xenopus laevis TFIIIA cDNA (6). Fig. 1 is a northern blot of X. laevis liver RNA (lane 1) or ovarian tissue RNA (lane 2), X. borealis ovarian tissue RNA that had been poly(A)+ selected (lane 3), and R. catesbeiana poly(A) + RNA (lane 4) all probed with X. laevis TFIIIA cDNA. X. borealis ovarian tissue contains a major poly(A)+ RNA species (lane 3) migrating in similar fashion to the 1.5 kb X. laevis TFIIIA mRNA present in total ovarian RNA (lane 2). R. catesbeiana ovarian tissue also contains a similarly migrating mRNA that cross-hybridizes with this TFIIIA probe (lane 4). The X. laevis TFIIIA probe did not detect under these conditions any cross-hybridizing RNA species in X. laevis liver (lane 1) because of the high selectivity of this probe and the extremely low abundance of TFIIIA mRNA in this organ compared to ovarian tissue. The greater abundance of the TFIIIA mRNA in the X. borealis ovarian RNA compared with X. laevis ovarian RNA is due to poly(A)+ enrichment. The weakly hybridizing R. catesbeiana mRNA is most likely due to sequence diversity.

cDNA library construction and screening cDNA was synthesized from X. borealis and R. catesbeiana poly(A)+ RNA using a modified version (Invitrogen's Lambda Librarian) of the Gubler and Hoffman procedure (21). After first strand synthesis by reverse transcriptase, the RNA template was degraded with RNase H and second strand synthesis was performed by E. coli DNA polymerase I and ligase. Following ligation of EcoRI-NotI adapters, the cDNA was size-fractionated by electrophoresis through a 1 % agarose gel. The 0.5-3 kb fraction was electroeluted and ligated to EcoRI-digested lambda gtlO DNA (22) and packaged with Packagene extract (Promega, Madison, WI). The unamplified library was plated directly on C600hfl E. coli cells and 1.2 x 105 recombinants were screened with nick-translated X. laevis TFIIIA cDNA under conditions similar to that described for the northern analysis. Subsequent secondary and tertiary screenings of initial positives were performed in a similar fashion.

Sequence of X. borealis and R. catesbeiana TFIIIA cDNA cDNA libraries were constructed from the same preparations of X. borealis or R. catesbeiana polyA+ RNA electrophoresed in Fig. 1. After screening about 1 x 105 lambda gtlO recombinants from each library with the X. laevis TFIIIA cDNA probe, seven positive X. borealis clones and two positive R. catesbeiana clones were isolated. Four of the X. borealis clones and two of the R. catesbeiana clones contained inserts of about 1.4 kb, the approximate size of the respective TFIIIA mRNAs (Fig. 1). One clone from each species was chosen for complete sequencing on both strands using a series of complementary oligonucleotides as sequencing primers. The sequences of the non-coding strands (minus the majority of the poly(A) tail) and the predicted amino acid sequence (numbered on left margin) are given in Figs. 2 and 3. The X. borealis cDNA (Fig. 2) consists of 1363 bp plus a EcoRI-NotI linker at the 5' end and a poly(A) tail. An open reading frame, coding for a protein of 339 amino acids, begins at position 67 and extends to a TAA termination codon at position
