Chicken NFI/TGGCA proteins are encoded by at least three independent genes: NFI-A, NFI-B and NFI-C with homologues in mammalian genomes.
Chicken TGGCA proteins belong to the ubiquitous, eukaryotic family of NFI-like nuclear proteins, which share an identical DNA binding specificity. They are involved in viral and cellular aspects of transcriptional regulation and they are capable of stimulating Adenovirus initiation of replication. Using microsequencing data from peptides of isolated proteins and PCR supported cloning, we have d...
متن کاملCloning and functional analysis of spliced isoforms of human nuclear factor I-X: interference with transcriptional activation by NFI/CTF in a cell-type specific manner.
Previous studies of the epithelial specificity of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) enhancer pointed out an important role of nuclear factor I (NFI). In epithelial cells, NFI proteins are derived from the NFI-C gene and referred to as NFI/CTF. In contrast, fibroblasts, where the enhancer is inactive, express high levels of NFI from the NFI-X gene. To compare NFI-C and NFI-X derived tran...
متن کاملExpression patterns of the four nuclear factor I genes during mouse embryogenesis indicate a potential role in development.
The nuclear factor I (NFI) family of site-specific DNA-binding proteins is required for both the cell-type specific transcription of many viral and cellular genes and for the replication of adenovirus DNA. Although binding sites for NFI proteins within the promoters of several tissue-specific genes have been shown to be essential for their expression, it is unclear which NFI gene products funct...
متن کاملIdentification of NFI-binding sites and cloning of NFI-cDNAs suggest a regulatory role for NFI transcription factors in olfactory neuron gene expression.
Olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection and signal transduction of odor ligands. Several genes associated with this activity are preferentially or exclusively expressed in these neurons. Among these genes are those coding for olfactory receptors, adenylyl cyclase type III, the cyclic nucleotide gated olfactory channel 1 (OcNC-1), Galpha(olf) and the olfactory marker protein...
متن کاملRegulation of the CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 promoters by members of the nuclear factor I transcription factor family.
Despite the established interindividual variability and ontogeny of the CYP3A enzymes, the most abundant phase I drug-metabolizing enzymes in human liver and intestine, the mechanisms that regulate basal expression remain poorly understood. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using nuclear proteins extracted from human prenatal and postnatal liver samples identified multiple, developmentally ...
