A novel mouse gene,Enhancer trap locus 1(Etl-1), was identified in close proximity to alacZenhancer trap integration in the mouse genome showing a specific β-galactosidase staining pattern during development. In situ analysis revealed a widespread but not ubiquitous expression ofEtl-1throughout development with particularly high levels in the central nervous system and epithelial cells. The amino acid sequence of theEtl-1protein deduced from the cDNA shows strong similarity, over a stretch of 500 amino acids, to theDrosophilabrahma protein involved in the regulation of homeotic genes and to the yeast transcriptional activator protein SNF2/SWI2 as well as to the RAD54 protein and the recently described helicase-related yeast proteins STH1 and MOT1.Etl-1is the first mammalian member of this group of proteins that are implicated in gene regulation and/or influencing chromatin structure. The homology to the regulatory proteins SNF2/SWI2 and brahma and the expression pattern during embryogenesis suggest thatEtl-1protein might be involved in gene regulating pathways during mouse development.
