CC chemokine receptor 5 gene promoter activation by the cyclic AMP response element binding transcription factor.
The chemokine receptor CCR5 is implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), atherosclerosis, transplant rejection, and autoimmunity. In previous studies, we have shown that MS lesions are characterized by enhanced expression of transcription factors associated with stress responses, ie, IRF-1, NF-kappaB, and CREB-1, which modulate expression ...
متن کاملActivation of transcription of the human cytomegalovirus early UL4 promoter by the Ets transcription factor binding element.
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) early UL4 promoter has served as a useful model for studying the activation of early viral gene expression. Previous transient-transfection experiments detected cis-acting elements (the NF-Y site and site 2) upstream of the transcriptional start site (L. Huang and M. F. Stinski, J. Virol. 69:7612-7621, 1995). The roles of two of these sites, the NF-Y site and si...
متن کاملGenomic Promoter Analysis Predicts Functional Transcription Factor Binding
Background. The computational identification of functional transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) remains a major challenge of computational biology. Results. We have analyzed the conserved promoter sequences for the complete set of human RefSeq genes using our conserved transcription factor binding site (CONFAC) software. CONFAC identified 16296 human-mouse ortholog gene pairs, and of thos...
متن کاملMapping regions of yeast transcription factor IIIA required for DNA binding, interaction with transcription factor IIIC, and transcription activity.
TFIIIA, a site-specific DNA-binding protein containing nine zinc finger motifs, is an RNA polymerase III transcription factor responsible for the assembly of a transcription complex on the 5 S RNA gene. We have analyzed the effect of deleting various regions of yeast TFIIIA on its ability to bind to the internal control region of the yeast 5 S RNA gene, to recruit TFIIIC into the TFIIIA.DNA com...
متن کاملAn involucrin promoter AP1 transcription factor binding site is required for expression of involucrin in the corneal epithelium in vivo.
PURPOSE Cell division of corneal limbal stem cells gives rise to transient amplifying cells that ultimately differentiate to form the multilayered corneal epithelium. The mechanisms that regulate changes in gene expression during this process are not well understood. In the present study, the involucrin gene was used as a model to study this regulation. METHODS Regulation of human involucrin ...
