AbstractCrystallins are the major water-soluble proteins in vertebrate eye lenses. These lens-specific proteins are encoded by several gene families, and their expression is differentially regulated during lens cell differentiation. Here we show that a cloned mouse gamma-crystallin promoter is active in lens explants derived from 14-day-old chicken embryos but inactive in a variety of cells of non-lens origin. We also show that sequences required for proper utilization of this promoter are contained between nucleotide positions -392 and +47 relative to the transcription initiation site; deletion of sequences from positions -392 to -171 completely abolishes promoter activity. Since chickens do not have gamma-crystallin genes, the expression of a mouse gamma-crystallin promoter in chicken lens cells suggests that different classes of crystallin genes may be regulated by common lens tissue-specific mechanism(s) independent of species.
