Regulation of the CDP-choline pathway by sterol regulatory element binding proteins involves transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms.
The synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) by the CDP-choline pathway is under the control of the rate-limiting enzyme CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) have been proposed to regulate CCT at the transcriptional level, or via the synthesis of lipid activators or substrates of the CDP-choline pathway. To assess the contributions ...
متن کاملSterol regulatory element-binding proteins: transcriptional activators of lipid synthesis.
Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate lipid homoeostasis. Three SREBP isoforms control the expression of more than 30 genes required for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, fatty acids, triacylglycerols and phospholipids. The unique regulation and activation properties of each SREBP isoform facilitates the co-ordinate regulation of ...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the ATP citrate-lyase gene by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins.
In an attempt to identify unknown target genes for SREBP-1, total RNA from a stable Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHO-487) expressing a mature form of human SREBP-1a (amino acids 1-487) with a LacSwitch Inducible Mammalian Expression System was subjected to a polymerase chain reaction subtraction method. One of the fragments was found to have 90 and 86% homology with rat and human ATP citrat...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of phagocytosis-induced membrane biogenesis by sterol regulatory element binding proteins.
In the process of membrane biogenesis several dozen proteins must operate in precise concert to generate approximately 100 lipids at appropriate concentrations. To study the regulation of bilayer assembly in a cell cycle-independent manner, we have exploited the fact that phagocytes replenish membranes expended during particle engulfment in a rapid phase of lipid synthesis. In response to phago...
متن کاملDown-regulation of lck mRNA by T cell activation involves transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms.
The p56lck tyrosine kinase is most likely to be involved in signal transduction of T lymphocyte activation. After full activation through the TcR/CD3 complex lck mRNA is transiently down-modulated. This down-modulation was due to an early decrease of both transcription and stability of the lck mRNA. To study the involvement of transcriptional and post-transcriptional factors in this regulations...
