Deformed expression in the Drosophila central nervous system is controlled by an autoactivated intronic enhancer.
Deformed (Dfd) is a Drosophila homeotic selector gene required for normal development of maxillary segment morphology in the larval and adult head. Consistent with this function, Dfd transcripts are restricted to epidermal, mesodermal and neural cells in the embryonic mandibular and maxillary primordia. Previous studies have identified a far upstream element in Dfd sequences which functions as ...
متن کاملRegulation of renal phosphate transport by FGF23 is mediated by FGFR1 and FGFR4.
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived hormone that acts on the proximal tubule to decrease phosphate reabsorption and serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ [1,25(OH)₂ Vitamin D₃]. Abnormal FGF23 metabolism has been implicated in several debilitating hypophosphatemic and hyperphosphatemic disorders. The renal receptors responsible for the phosphaturic actions of FGF23 have not...
متن کاملIs the resistance of gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer settled only by overexpression of deoxycytidine kinase?
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer remains poor, and the standard first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine (GEM) has a response rate of less than 20%. Since expression of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) seems important for improvement of GEM sensitivity, overexpression of dCK was investigated using pancreatic cancer cell lines (Panc-1, MIAPaCa-2 and BxPC-3). dCK gene was introduced into the cell lin...
متن کاملZeste-mediated activation by an enhancer is independent of cooperative DNA binding in vivo.
It is not clear how transcription factors bound at distal enhancer and proximal promoter sequences cooperate to stimulate transcription in vivo. To distinguish between different models for the action of enhancer elements, we have directly measured DNA binding of the Drosophila activator zeste by in vivo UV crosslinking. Experiments in Drosophila embryos show that binding of zeste protein to eit...
متن کاملDirect transcriptional regulation of Gata4 during early endoderm specification is controlled by FoxA2 binding to an intronic enhancer.
The embryonic endoderm is a multipotent progenitor cell population that gives rise to the epithelia of the digestive and respiratory tracts, the liver and the pancreas. Among the transcription factors that have been shown to be important for endoderm development and gut morphogenesis is GATA4. Despite the important role of GATA4 in endoderm development, its transcriptional regulation is not wel...
