Tissue-specific variation in C4 and Slp gene regulation.
C4 and Slp are highly homologous mouse genes that differ in function and regulation. Allelic variants exist in quantitative regulation of C4 and in hormonal regulation of Slp. We have examined expression in several tissues, including liver and peritoneal macrophages which are the major sites of synthesis, using a probe that allows direct comparison of C4 and Slp mRNAs. Correctly-sized and initi...
متن کاملUnderstanding Tissue-Specific Gene Regulation.
Although all human tissues carry out common processes, tissues are distinguished by gene expression patterns, implying that distinct regulatory programs control tissue specificity. In this study, we investigate gene expression and regulation across 38 tissues profiled in the Genotype-Tissue Expression project. We find that network edges (transcription factor to target gene connections) have hig...
متن کاملTissue-Specific Effects of Genetic and Epigenetic Variation on Gene Regulation and Splicing
Understanding how genetic variation affects distinct cellular phenotypes, such as gene expression levels, alternative splicing and DNA methylation levels, is essential for better understanding of complex diseases and traits. Furthermore, how inter-individual variation of DNA methylation is associated to gene expression is just starting to be studied. In this study, we use the GenCord cohort of ...
متن کاملTissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...
متن کاملThe androgen-dependent C4-Slp gene is driven by a constitutively competent promoter.
The androgen-dependent liver protein Slp, together with its constitutively expressed closely related isoform C4, provides a model to address the question of which minimal alteration in DNA can shut off the expression of a gene in a manner reversible by testosterone or by trans-acting mutations. Previous work indicated that sequences located at -1.9, -0.45, and -0.25 kb from the transcription st...
