Identification of a Coordinate Regulator of Interleukins 4, 13, and 5 by Cross-Species Sequence Comparisons

G. G. Loots, 12 R. M. Locksley, 3 C. M. Blankespoor, 1 Z. E. Wang, 3 W. Miller, 4 E. M. Rubin, 1* K. A. Frazer 1*

Long-range regulatory elements are difficult to discover experimentally; however, they tend to be conserved among mammals, suggesting that cross-species sequence comparisons should identify them. To search for regulatory sequences, we examined about 1 megabase of orthologous human and mouse sequences for conserved noncoding elements with greater than or equal to 70% identity over at least 100 base pairs. Ninety noncoding sequences meeting these criteria were discovered, and the analysis of 15 of these elements found that about 70% were conserved across mammals. Characterization of the largest element in yeast artificial chromosome transgenic mice revealed it to be a coordinate regulator of three genes, interleukin-4, interleukin-13, and interleukin-5, spread over 120 kilobases.
