GATA family transcription factors activate lactase gene promoter in intestinal Caco-2 cells.
The GATA family of transcription factors regulate tissue-specific patterns of gene expression during development. We have characterized the interaction between GATA proteins and the lactase gene promoter. Nuclear protein bound to the lactase gene GATA region cis element (-97 to -73) was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and supershift assays with GATA antibodies. Lactase ...
متن کاملTranscription factors that regulate monocyte/macrophage differentiation.
Although all the cells in an organism contain the same genetic information, differences in the cell phenotype arise from the expression of lineage-specific genes. During myelopoiesis, external differentiating signals regulate the expression of a set of transcription factors. The combined action of these transcription factors subsequently determines the expression of myeloid-specific genes and t...
متن کاملPromotion of avian endothelial cell differentiation by GATA transcription factors.
In the avian embryo, endothelial cells originate from several sources, including the lateral plate and somite mesoderm. In this study, we show that Gata transcription factors are expressed in the lateral plate and in vasculogenic regions of the avian somite and are able to promote a vascular endothelial fate when ectopically expressed in somite precursors. A fusion of GATA4 to the transcription...
متن کاملGATA transcription factors as potentiators of gut endoderm differentiation.
Gene inactivation studies have shown that members of the GATA family of transcription factors are critical for endoderm differentiation in mice, flies and worms, yet how these proteins function in such a conserved developmental context has not been understood. We use in vivo footprinting of mouse embryonic endoderm cells to show that a DNA-binding site for GATA factors is occupied on a liver-sp...
متن کاملRole of the GATA family of transcription factors in andrology.
Understanding how genes get turned on or off is central to the study of biological processes in both health and disease. Several regulatory mechanisms, which can be positive or negative, have been implicated in the control of tissueand cell-specific gene expression. These include modulation of chromatin structure, DNA methylation, and the regulation of transcription and translation. Transcripti...
