To study the liver-specific trans activation of the rat phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene, the PEPCK promoter was linked to a reporter gene and was microinjected into Xenopus laevis oocytes alone or in conjunction with rat liver poly(A)+ RNA. The rat liver mRNA markedly enhanced the expression of the PEPCK-chimeric construct. This effect appeared to be sequence specific, as it was dependent on the presence of the intact promoter. Moreover, the RNA effect was limited to mRNA preparations from PEPCK-expressing tissues only. Finally, microinjection of size-fractionated liver mRNA revealed that the trans-acting factor(s) is encoded by RNA of 1,600 to 2,000 nucleotides, providing a direct bioassay for the gene(s) involved in this tissue-specific trans-activation process.
