The murine urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene has been isolated from a BALB/c liver DNA cosmid library and its nucleotide sequence established. The gene is organized into 11 exons comprising 34.7% of the 6710 base pair (bp) region spanning the interval between the presumed transcription initiation and polyadenylation sites. The transcription initiation site is flanked by common RNA polymerase II promoter elements, including a TATA box and a potential transcription factor Sp1 binding site. A large polypurine tract of the structure (AG)22(AGGG)16(AG)28 is located 79 bp upstream of the 5'-terminus. It was highly sensitive to the single-strand-specific nuclease S1, suggesting a non-B-DNA conformation of unknown significance. Consistent with the well-documented influence of adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (cAMP) on uPA gene expression, there is a dodecanucleotide homologous to proposed regulatory sequences identified in other cAMP-modulated genes. Comparison of the murine uPA gene to the previously described porcine and human uPA genes revealed an unusually high degree of evolutionary (interspecies) sequence conservation that was not limited to exons but included introns and flanking sequences as well.
