Mutational analysis reveals separable DNA binding and trans-activation of Drosophila STAT92E.
In the canonical model of JAK/STAT signalling STAT transcription factors are activated by JAK mediated tyrosine phosphorylation following pathway stimulation by external cytokines. Activated STAT molecules then homo- or heterodimerise before translocating to the nucleus where they bind to DNA sequences within the promoters of pathway target genes. DNA-bound STAT dimers then activate transcripti...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the DNA binding, dimerization, and transcriptional activation domains of MEF2C.
There are four members of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors in vertebrates, MEF2A, -B, -C, and -D, which have homology within a MADS box at their amino termini and an adjacent motif known as the MEF2 domain. These factors activate muscle gene expression by binding as homo- and heterodimers to an A/T-rich DNA sequence in the control regions of muscle-specific g...
متن کاملDifferential trans-activation of a muscle-specific enhancer by myogenic helix-loop-helix proteins is separable from DNA binding.
The muscle creatine kinase (MCK) enhancer was used as a target to study the specificity of DNA binding and trans-activation by members of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of myogenic regulatory factors, MyoD1, myogenin, myf-5, and MRF4. Whereas all four myogenic factors bound with similar affinities to the MCK enhancer in the presence of the widely expressed HLH protein E12, only MyoD1, myogen...
متن کاملSumoylation of Drosophila transcription factor STAT92E.
STAT92E is an essential transcription factor in Drosophila melanogaster for the development of several organs and the immune system. The JAK/STAT pathway employs different evolutionary conserved regulatory mechanisms to control biological processes. Numerous transcription factors in both mammals and invertebrates have been shown to be either activated or inhibited by a covalent modification wit...
متن کاملStringent integrity requirements for both trans-activation and DNA-binding in a trans-activator, Oct3.
POU-specific and POU-homeo domains of Oct3 were produced in Echerichia coli for characterization of DNA binding to the octamer sequence. POU domain protein including A, B and H domains could bind to the octamer sequence efficiently and specifically, and DNase I footprint analysis gave an indistinguishable protection pattern between recombinant POU protein of Oct3 and native Oct3 from undifferen...
