Promoter and intronic variants affect the transcriptional regulation of the human dopamine transporter gene.
We have attempted to identify regions involved in the transcriptional regulation of the DAT1 (HUGO approved symbol SLC6A3) gene that may harbor functional variants predisposing to several neuropsychiatric disorders by examining haplotypes of various 5' and intronic regions for their effect on expression in a dopaminergic cell line. A 1.5-fold difference in regulatory activity was observed betwe...
متن کاملA distant cis acting intronic element induces site-selective RNA editing
Transcripts have been found to be site selectively edited from adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) in the mammalian brain, mostly in genes involved in neurotransmission. While A-to-I editing occurs at double-stranded structures, other structural requirements are largely unknown. We have investigated the requirements for editing at the I/M site in the Gabra-3 transcript of the GABA(A) receptor. We ide...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of the cis-acting elements of the human CD155 gene core promoter.
The CD155 protein is the founding member of a new group of related molecules within the immunoglobulin superfamily sharing a V-C2-C2 domain structure and significant amino acid identity. We have recently isolated the promoter of the CD155 gene so that we may determine the transcription factors that regulate its expression and possibly gain insight into the cell biology of this gene. Here we rep...
متن کاملIdentification and regulation of tissue-specific cis-acting elements associated with the human AP-2alpha gene.
Mice lacking transcription factor AP-2alpha exhibit defects in the formation of the head, body wall, heart, neural tube, eye, and limbs, reflecting important sites of AP-2alpha expression in the developing embryo. AP-2alpha is also expressed in the postnatal mammary gland and has been linked to tumor progression and defects in growth regulation in the breast. We have used a transgenic mouse app...
متن کاملThe identification of a cis-acting element involved in cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate regulation of bovine vasopressin gene expression.
Cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) has been implicated as an intracellular messenger mediating osmotic regulation of expression of the gene encoding the neuropeptide vasopressin (VP) in the hypothalamus. We have used a heterologous transient transfection system to demonstrate that cAMP regulates the bovine VP gene promoter following transfection into CV1 cells. Mutational analysis iden...
