STUDY QUESTION Do women with endometriosis have a different endometrial gene expression profile at the time of embryo implantation than women without endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER The endometrial gene expression profile of women with endometriosis differs from that of women without endometriosis at the mid-secretory phase, although the differences are small. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY About 50% of women with endometriosis suffer infertility. Several molecular studies have suggested impaired endometrial receptivity in women with endometriosis, while others have detected no dysregulation of endometrial receptivity. Nevertheless, the previous endometrial transcriptome studies comparing women with and without endometriosis have been performed in small sample size with limited statistical power. We set out to systematically search and compile data of endometrial gene expression signatures at the receptive phase in women with endometriosis versus control women. Based on the obtained data, we conducted a meta-analysis of differentially expressed genes in order to raise the power of the analysis for identifying the molecular profiles of receptive phase endometria in endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A systematic literature search was conducted up to February 2022 following PRISMA criteria and included PubMed, Cochrane and Web of Science databases. For the systematic search, the term 'endometriosis' was paired with the terms 'transcriptomics', 'transcriptome', 'gene expression', 'RNA-seq', 'sequencing' and 'array', by using the Boolean operator 'AND' to connect them. Articles written in English were screened and interrogated for data extraction. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS A meta-analysis was performed on the selected studies to extract the differentially expressed genes described at the mid-secretory phase in women with endometriosis versus women without endometriosis in natural cycles, using the robust rank aggregation method. In total, transcriptome data of 125 women (78 patients and 47 controls) were meta-analysed, with a special focus on endometrial receptivity-specific genes based on commercial endometrial receptivity tests. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE In total, 8 studies were eligible for the quantitative meta-analysis, gathering transcriptome data from the mid-secretory phase endometria of 125 women. A total of 7779 differentially expressed transcripts between the study groups were retrieved (3496 up-regulated and 4283 down-regulated) and were meta-analysed. After stringent multiple correction, there was no differential expression of any single molecule in the endometrium of women with endometriosis versus controls, while enrichment analysis detected that the pathways of chemotaxis and locomotion are dysregulated in endometriosis. Further analysis of endometrial receptivity-specific genes highlighted dysregulation of C4BPA , MAOA and PAEP and enrichment of immune and defence pathways in women with endometriosis. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Most of the studies included into the meta-analysis were relatively small and had different study designs, which might have contributed to a bias. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The current meta-analysis supports the hypothesis that endometrial receptivity is altered in women with endometriosis, although the changes are small. The molecules and pathways identified could serve as future biomarkers and therapeutical targets in detecting and treating endometriosis-associated infertility.

- Abstract
Successful embryo implantation depends on the quality of the embryo, as well as on the receptivity of the endometrium. The aim of this study was to investigate the endometrial gene expression profile in women with unexplained infertility in comparison with fertile controls at the time of embryo implantation in order to find potential predictive markers of uterine receptivity and to identify the molecular mechanisms of infertility. High-density oligonucleotide gene arrays, comprising 44 000 gene targets, were used to define the endometrial gene expression profile in infertile (n = 4) and fertile (n = 5) women during the mid-secretory phase (day LH +7). Microarray results were validated using real-time PCR. Analyses of expression data were carried out using non-parametric methods. Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis showed a clear distinction in endometrial gene expression between infertile and fertile women. In total we identified 145 significantly (>3-fold change) up-regulated and 115 down-regulated genes in infertile women versus controls. Via Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery functional analysis we detected a substantial number of dysregulated genes in the endometria of infertile women, involved in cellular localization (21.1%) and transport (18.8%) and transporter activity (13.1%) and with major localization in extracellular regions (19.2%). Ingenuity Pathways Analysis of the gene list showed dysregulation of gene pathways involved in leukocyte extravasation signalling, lipid metabolism and detoxification in the endometria of infertile women. In conclusion, endometrial gene expression in women with unexplained infertility at the time of embryo implantation is markedly different from that in fertile women. These results provide new information on genes and pathways that may have functional significance as regards to endometrial receptivity and subsequent embryo implantation.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the impact of early pregnancy events and complications as predictors of adverse obstetric outcome. METHODS We conducted a literature review on the impact of first trimester complications in previous and index pregnancies using Medline and Cochrane databases covering the period 1980-2008. RESULTS Clinically relevant associations of adverse outcome in the subsequent pregnancy with an odds ratio (OR) > 2.0 after complications in a previous pregnancy are the risk of perinatal death after a single previous miscarriage, the risk of very preterm delivery (VPTD) after two or more miscarriages, the risk of placenta praevia, premature preterm rupture of membranes, VPTD and low birthweight (LBW) after recurrent miscarriage and the risk of VPTD after two or more termination of pregnancy. Clinically relevant associations of adverse obstetric outcome in the ongoing pregnancy with an OR > 2.0 after complications in the index pregnancy are the risk of LBW and very low birthweight (VLBW) after a threatened miscarriage, the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, preterm delivery (PTD), small for gestational age and low 5-min Apgar score after detection of an intrauterine haematoma, the risk of VPTD and intrauterine growth restriction after a crown-rump length discrepancy, the risk of VPTD, LBW and VLBW after a vanishing twin phenomenon and the risk of PTD, LBW and low 5-min Apgar score in a pregnancy complicated by severe hyperemesis gravidarum. CONCLUSIONS Data from our literature review indicate, by finding significant associations, that specific early pregnancy events and complications are predictors for subsequent adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome. Though, some of these associations are based on limited or small uncontrolled studies. Larger population-based controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings. Nevertheless, identification of these risks will improve obstetric care.

Infertility is an increasing problem all over the world, and it has been estimated that 10–15% of couples in fertile age have fertility problems. Likewise induced unsafe abortion is a serious threat to women’s health. Despite advances made in assisted reproduction techniques, little progress has been made in increasing the success rate during fertility treatment. This document describes a wide range of projects carried out to increase the understanding in the field of embryo implantation research. The ‘Fruitful’ research network was created to encourage collaborations within the consortium and to describe our different research potentials to granting agencies or private sponsors.

Implantation is a crucial moment in the reproduction process that requires perfect synchronization between the embryo and the material endometrium. The embryo must reach the blastocyst stage and the endometrium must be prepared to receive it. An appropriate and specific molecular dialogue must also take place between them. There is ample evidence to show that the leptin system is implicated in this cross-talk. Examples are described. Although there is some controversy surrounding the data, they are supported by the presence of leplin receptor mRNA in mouse and human oocytes and embryos throughout preimplantation development. Otherwise, the leptin mRNA is only detected at the blastocyst stage in both human and mouse. Furthermore, leptin is found at higher concentrations in the conditioned media from competent human blastocysts than in those from arrested embryos, suggesting that this molecule is a marker for blastocyst viability. Given that expression of the leptin receptor increases in the human endometrium during the luteal phase, the secreted leptin could trigger its activation. Finally, leptin and the leptin receptor have been detected in implantation sites. All these findings point to the involvement of the leptin system in the molecular mechanism of the implantation process and embryo development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) used in assisted reproduction techniques (ART) produces lower implantation rates per embryo transferred as compared to natural and ovum donation cycles, suggesting a suboptimal endometrial development. Endometrial alterations have been observed by histological and biochemical techniques during decades. The recent developments in functional genomics have provided objective tools to analyze the endometrium in natural cycles and evaluate the impact of COS protocols in endometrial development. COS cycles that use GnRH agonists and antagonists have been analyzed in detail during the window of implantation to establish the differences with respecting to the natural cycle [1-5]. Even more, it has been demonstrated that endometria from natural cycles follow different genomic patterns compared to COS cycles in the transition from the pre-receptive (days LH/hCG+1 until LH/hCG+5) to the receptive phase (day LH+7/hCG+7). Specifically, it has been demonstrated the existence of a two-day delay in the activation/repression of two clusters composed by 218 and 133 genes on day hCG+7 versus LH+7 [6]. To further increase our understanding of the pathways governing endometrial receptivity, we have expanded these studies by comparing the gene expression profile of the human endometrium troughout the early-mid secretory phase in natural cycles vs controlled ovarian stimulated (COS) cycles. We have analyzed endometrial samples collected from healthy fertile cycling ovum donors (aged 23-39), that underwent either a natural cycle (n = 25) or stimulated cycles (n = 25) at days LH+1, LH+3, LH+5, LH +7 and LH+9 (n = 5 per time point), no progesterone (P) supplementation was administered. RNA was extracted and labeled cDNA were hybridized onto the GeneChip HG_U133A (Affymetrix) for the comparisons. Gene expression data were analysed using different methods such as clustering or selection of differentially expressed genes, as implemented in the GEPAS (http://www.gepas.org). We analyzed their corresponding temporal functional profiles. For that end, we used the first day as reference and we compared each subsequent day to this reference time by a gene set enrichment analysis, as implemented in the FatiScan tool of Babelomics. This method allows us to trace the functional blocks (GO, KEGG pathways, etc.) that were significantly up- and down-regulated on each day of the WOI. Our results demonstrate that the receptivity transition from pre-receptive (LH+1, LH+3 and LH+5) to receptive (LH+7, LH+9) endometria displayed a differential profile of biological processes over and under expressed, pathways statistically over and under represented and differential gene clustering. Furthermore, these results indicate that gene expression profiling of the endometrium at the time of implantation is different between natural cycles specifically at LH+7 and COH cycles at hCG+7 and similarities are recovered thereafter. Based on this basic data, influences of endometrial function on IVF outcomes will be reviewed as well state of the art of human endometrial receptivity markers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Elevated serum progesterone levels at the end of the follicular phase in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) leads to a poorer ongoing pregnancy rate in IVF cycles due to reduced endometrial receptivity. The objective of this study was to use microarray technology to compare endometrial gene expression profiles at the window of implantation according to the levels of circulating progesterone., Methods: For this prospective cohort study, microarray data were obtained from endometrial biopsies from 12 young healthy oocyte donors undergoing COS with pituitary suppression by either gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or antagonists, and recombinant FSH. On the day of recombinant chorionic gonadotrophin (rCG) administration, six women had serum progesterone levels (P) >1.5 ng/ml (study group) and six had serum P levels <1.5 ng/ml (control group). Endometrial samples were collected using a Pipelle catheter 7 days after the rCG injection., Results: Using the parametric test, we identified 140 genes significantly dysregulated (64 up- and 76 down-regulated) in the study group endometria compared with the control endometria, regardless of the GnRH analogue employed. These genes are related to cell adhesion, developmental processes, the immune system and others, which are all required for normal endometrial function development. Of the 25 gene targets previously proposed as markers for endometrial receptivity, 13 appeared over-regulated in the study group., Conclusions: Our results reveal that elevated progesterone levels on the day of rCG administration can induce significant alterations in the gene expression profile of the endometrium.

- Abstract
Eutopic endometrium in endometriosis has molecular evidence of resistance to progesterone (P(4)) and activation of the PKA pathway in the stromal compartment. To investigate global and temporal responses of eutopic endometrium to P(4), we compared early (6-h), intermediate (48-h), and late (14-Day) transcriptomes, signaling pathways, and networks of human endometrial stromal fibroblasts (hESF) from women with endometriosis (hESF(endo)) with hESF from women without endometriosis (hESF(nonendo)). Endometrial biopsy samples were obtained from subjects with and without mild peritoneal endometriosis (n = 4 per group), and hESF were isolated and treated with P(4) (1 μM) plus estradiol (E(2)) (10 nM), E(2) alone (10 nM), or vehicle for up to 14 days. Total RNA was subjected to microarray analysis using a Gene 1.0 ST (Affymetrix) platform and analyzed by using bioinformatic algorithms, and data were validated by quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA. Results revealed unique kinetic expression of specific genes and unique pathways, distinct biological and molecular processes, and signaling pathways and networks during the early, intermediate, and late responses to P(4) in both hESF(nonendo) and hESF(endo), although a blunted response to P(4) was observed in the latter. The normal response of hESF to P(4) involves a tightly regulated kinetic cascade involving key components in the P(4) receptor and MAPK signaling pathways that results in inhibition of E(2)-mediated proliferation and eventual differentiation to the decidual phenotype, but this was not established in the hESF(endo) early response to P(4). The abnormal response of this cell type to P(4) may contribute to compromised embryonic implantation and infertility in women with endometriosis.

- Abstract
Background: In vitro culture (IVC) and IVF of preimplantation mouse embryos are associated with changes in gene expression. It is however not known whether ICSI has additional effects on the transcriptome of mouse blastocysts., Methods: We compared gene expression and development of mouse blastocysts produced by ICSI and cultured in Whitten's medium (ICSI(WM)) or KSOM medium with amino acids (ICSI(KSOMaa)) with control blastocysts flushed out of the uterus on post coital Day 3.5 (in vivo). In addition, we compared gene expression in embryos generated by IVF or ICSI using WM. Global pattern of gene expression was assessed using the Affymetrix 430 2.0 chip., Results: Blastocysts from ICSI fertilization have a reduction in the number of trophoblastic and inner cell mass cells compared with embryos generated in vivo. Approximately 1000 genes are differentially expressed between ICSI blastocyst and in vivo blastocysts; proliferation, apoptosis and morphogenetic pathways are the most common pathways altered after IVC. Unexpectedly, expression of only 41 genes was significantly different between embryo cultured in suboptimal conditions (WM) or optimal conditions (KSOM(aa))., Conclusions: Our results suggest that fertilization by ICSI may play a more important role in shaping the transcriptome of the developing mouse embryo than the culture media used.

- Abstract
Successful embryo implantation depends on the quality of the embryo, as well as on the receptivity of the endometrium. The aim of this study was to investigate the endometrial gene expression profile in women with unexplained infertility in comparison with fertile controls at the time of embryo implantation in order to find potential predictive markers of uterine receptivity and to identify the molecular mechanisms of infertility. High-density oligonucleotide gene arrays, comprising 44 000 gene targets, were used to define the endometrial gene expression profile in infertile (n = 4) and fertile (n = 5) women during the mid-secretory phase (day LH + 7). Microarray results were validated using real-time PCR. Analyses of expression data were carried out using non-parametric methods. Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis showed a clear distinction in endometrial gene expression between infertile and fertile women. In total we identified 145 significantly (>3-fold change) up-regulated and 115 down-regulated genes in infertile women versus controls. Via Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery functional analysis we detected a substantial number of dysregulated genes in the endometria of infertile women, involved in cellular localization (21.1%) and transport (18.8%) and transporter activity (13.1%) and with major localization in extracellular regions (19.2%). Ingenuity Pathways Analysis of the gene list showed dysregulation of gene pathways involved in leukocyte extravasation signalling, lipid metabolism and detoxification in the endometria of infertile women. In conclusion, endometrial gene expression in women with unexplained infertility at the time of embryo implantation is markedly different from that in fertile women. These results provide new information on genes and pathways that may have functional significance as regards to endometrial receptivity and subsequent embryo implantation.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the impact of early pregnancy events and complications as predictors of adverse obstetric outcome. METHODS We conducted a literature review on the impact of first trimester complications in previous and index pregnancies using Medline and Cochrane databases covering the period 1980-2008. RESULTS Clinically relevant associations of adverse outcome in the subsequent pregnancy with an odds ratio (OR) > 2.0 after complications in a previous pregnancy are the risk of perinatal death after a single previous miscarriage, the risk of very preterm delivery (VPTD) after two or more miscarriages, the risk of placenta praevia, premature preterm rupture of membranes, VPTD and low birthweight (LBW) after recurrent miscarriage and the risk of VPTD after two or more termination of pregnancy. Clinically relevant associations of adverse obstetric outcome in the ongoing pregnancy with an OR > 2.0 after complications in the index pregnancy are the risk of LBW and very low birthweight (VLBW) after a threatened miscarriage, the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, preterm delivery (PTD), small for gestational age and low 5-min Apgar score after detection of an intrauterine haematoma, the risk of VPTD and intrauterine growth restriction after a crown-rump length discrepancy, the risk of VPTD, LBW and VLBW after a vanishing twin phenomenon and the risk of PTD, LBW and low 5-min Apgar score in a pregnancy complicated by severe hyperemesis gravidarum. CONCLUSIONS Data from our literature review indicate, by finding significant associations, that specific early pregnancy events and complications are predictors for subsequent adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome. Though, some of these associations are based on limited or small uncontrolled studies. Larger population-based controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings. Nevertheless, identification of these risks will improve obstetric care.

- Abstract
Sperm analysis following World Health Organization guidelines is unable to explain the molecular causes of male infertility when basic sperm parameters are within a normal range and women do not present gynecologic pathology. Consequently, there is a need for accurate diagnostic tools in this area, and microarray technology emerges as promising. We present, for the first time, preliminary results of a comparison of sperm mRNA expression profiles between fertile and infertile men with normal semen parameters, discovering profound discrepancies between groups, with potential diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.

- Abstract
The investigation of trophoblast chemoattractive molecules in humans is of high interest for the reproductive field. Current evidence in ruminants demonstrates that CXCL10, formerly the interferon-gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), is a potent chemotactic molecule implicated in the migration of trophoblast cells during early gestation. The aim of this work was to explore the existence of CXCL10/CXCR3 in the human model. Furthermore, chemotaxis assays were performed to demonstrate CXCL10 chemotactic activity in the human trophoblast cell lines JEG-3 and AC-1M88. Surprisingly, the conditioned media from epithelial endometrial cells (EEC) induced the highest trophoblast migration rate. Cytokine and chemokine membrane protein arrays were used to identify the secreted protein profile of EEC-conditioned media, and IL-6 was found to be the most abundant and CXCL13 the second most abundant molecule. Using a chemotaxis assay on AC-IM88, IL-6 antibody blocked the effect of EEC, indicating IL-6 to be an effective chemoattractive factor for trophoblast cells in the human model.

- Abstract
Background: The endometrium, lining of the uterus, is a highly active organ that is remodelled periodically during the lifespan. Different studies suggest the presence of an adult or progenitor stem cell (PSC) population in this tissue because of its cyclic regenerative capacity., Methods: In this study, we aim at identifying and localizing the putative PSC population in the murine uterus using the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labelling method to detect label-retaining cells (LRCs) that cycle slowly. Uteri from BrdU-treated mice were analysed via single and double immunohistochemistry to co-localize them with the markers of undifferentiation already described such as c-KIT and POU5F1 (also known as OCT-4). Finally, we confirmed the presence of the indicated markers at mRNA level., Results: We observed the presence and gradual decrease of LRCs in the endometrium during the lifespan of the mice. In adulthood, the LRC population decreased notably and remained in the lower region of the stroma in the murine endometrium. Some of the endometrial LRCs co-localized with c-KIT and POU5F1. PCR and nested-PCR confirmed the presence of these undifferentiated markers., Conclusions: We demonstrated that the murine endometrium possesses LRCs with the features of a putative PSC population localized at the lower region of the stroma.

- Abstract
Microarray technology has broadened the insight into many research fields allowing scientists to analyse the expression of many genes in quick and efficient experiments aimed at translating these findings into clinical applications. In reproductive medicine, researchers have exploited microarrays to increase understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in endometrial receptivity and how a possible therapeutic translation can be feasible. In the last 4 years, several studies have focused on the genomics of the human endometrium in different physiological and pathological conditions, and these studies have generated a large amount of information about the regulation and dysregulation of the window of implantation (WOI) genes in fertile, subfertile and refractory conditions. However, the key molecules/mechanisms in endometrial receptivity remain to be elucidated. In this comprehensive review, we have analysed the available results obtained in our own and other laboratories, defining the genomic profile of the receptive endometrium in different situations and its possible clinical application.

- Abstract
Background: This descriptive study evaluates the impact on endometrial development of standard and high doses of a GnRH antagonist in stimulated cycles compared with GnRH agonist and natural cycles., Methods: Thirty-one oocyte donors were treated with a combination of rFSH and 0.25 mg/day ganirelix (standard dose), 2 mg/day ganirelix (high dose) or 0.6 mg/day buserelin (long protocol). Vaginal progesterone (200 mg/day) was administered in the luteal phase. Endometrial biopsies were performed 2 and 7 days after HCG administration. Additional biopsies were carried out in a subset of 12 subjects, 2 and 7 days following the LH peak of their previous natural cycle. Biopsies were evaluated histologically and by scanning electron microscopy. Gene expression profiles were also studied., Results: At HCG +2, all the parameters studied were similar in all the groups and comparable to those observed in the natural cycle. At HCG +7, endometrial dating, steroid receptors and the presence of pinopodes were comparable in both GnRH antagonist groups and in the natural cycle. In buserelin group, endometrial dating and pinopode expression suggested an arrested endometrial development. For window of implantation genes, expression patterns were closer to those in the natural cycle following standard- or high-dose ganirelix than after buserelin administration., Conclusion: No relevant alteration was observed in the endometrial development in the early and mid-luteal phases in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation for oocyte donation following daily treatment with a standard- or high-dose GnRH antagonist. In addition, the endometrial development after GnRH antagonist mimics the natural endometrium more closely than after GnRH agonist.

- Abstract
Bacteriophage GA-1, which infects Bacillus sp. strain G1R, is evolutionarily related to phage phi29, which infects Bacillus subtilis. We report the characterization of several GA-1 promoters located at either end of its linear genome. Some of them are unique for GA-1 and drive the expression of open reading frames that have no counterparts in the genome of phi29 or related phages. These unique promoters are active at early infection times and are repressed at late times. In vitro transcription reactions revealed that the purified GA-1-encoded protein p6 represses the activity of these promoters, although the amount of p6 required to repress transcription was different for each promoter. The level of protein p6 produced in vivo increases rapidly during the first stage of the infection cycle. The protein p6 concentration may serve to modulate the expression of these early promoters as infection proceeds.

- Abstract
Continuous research spanning more than three decades has made the Bacillus bacteriophage phi29 a paradigm for several molecular mechanisms of general biological processes, such as DNA replication, regulation of transcription, phage morphogenesis, and phage DNA packaging. The genome of bacteriophage phi29 consists of a linear double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which has a terminal protein (TP) covalently linked to its 5' ends. Initiation of DNA replication, carried out by a protein-primed mechanism, has been studied in detail and is considered to be a model system for the protein-primed DNA replication that is also used by most other linear genomes with a TP linked to their DNA ends, such as other phages, linear plasmids, and adenoviruses. In addition to a continuing progress in unraveling the initiation of DNA replication mechanism and the role of various proteins involved in this process, major advances have been made during the last few years, especially in our understanding of transcription regulation, the head-tail connector protein, and DNA packaging. Recent progress in all these topics is reviewed. In addition to phi29, the genomes of several other Bacillus phages consist of a linear dsDNA with a TP molecule attached to their 5' ends. These phi29-like phages can be divided into three groups. The first group includes, in addition to phi29, phages PZA, phi15, and BS32. The second group comprises B103, Nf, and M2Y, and the third group contains GA-1 as its sole member. Whereas the DNA sequences of the complete genomes of phi29 (group I) and B103 (group II) are known, only parts of the genome of GA-1 (group III) were sequenced. We have determined the complete DNA sequence of the GA-1 genome, which allowed analysis of differences and homologies between the three groups of phi29-like phages, which is included in this review.

- Abstract
The transcription program of the Bacillus phage GA-1, a distant relative of phage Phi29, has been studied. Transcription of the GA-1 genome occurred in two stages, early and late. Early genes were expressed from two promoters equivalent to the Phi29 A2b and A2c promoters, whereas late transcription started at a site equivalent to the Phi29 late A3 promoter. The activity of the GA-1 early A2b and A2c promoters diminished 10 minutes after infection, a time at which expression of the late promoter increased significantly. The switch from early to late transcription required protein synthesis, suggesting the need for viral protein(s). An open reading frame was found in the GA-1 genome coding for a protein showing a 53 % similarity to Phi29 regulatory protein p4, and was named p4G. In Phi29, protein p4 represses the early A2b and A2c promoters and activates the late A3 promoter by recruiting RNA polymerase to it. A binding site for protein p4Gwas localized upstream from the GA-1 late A3 promoter, overlapping with the early A2b promoter. In vitro, protein p4Gprevented the binding of RNA polymerase to the GA-1 early A2b promoter but, unlike in Phi29, had no effect on the expression of the late A3 promoter: RNA polymerase could efficiently bind and initiate transcription from the A3 promoter in the absence of protein p4G. Therefore, activation of late transcription occurs differently in GA-1 and Phi29. We propose that protein p4Gis an anti-repressor which inhibits the binding to the late promoter of an unknown repressor factor present in the host strain., (Copyright 1999 Academic Press.)
