SIREs: searching for iron-responsive elements
The iron regulatory protein/iron-responsive element regulatory system plays a crucial role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and its disruption results in human disease. IREs are cis-acting regulatory motifs present in mRNAs that encode proteins involved in iron metabolism. They function as binding sites for two related trans-acting factors, namely the IRP-1 and -2. Amon...
متن کاملIron-regulatory proteins, iron-responsive elements and ferritin mRNA translation.
Iron plays a central role in the metabolism of all cells. This is evident by its major contribution to many diverse functions, such as DNA replication, bacterial pathogenicity, photosynthesis, oxidative stress control and cell proliferation. In mammalian systems, control of intracellular iron homeostasis is largely due to posttranscriptional regulation of binding by iron-regulatory RNA-binding ...
متن کاملMultiple determinants within iron-responsive elements dictate iron regulatory protein binding and regulatory hierarchy.
Iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) are iron-regulated RNA binding proteins that, along with iron-responsive elements (IREs), control the translation of a diverse set of mRNA with 5' IRE. Dysregulation of IRP action causes disease with etiology that may reflect differential control of IRE-containing mRNA. IREs are defined by a conserved stem-loop structure including a midstem bulge at C8 and a term...
متن کاملCombinatorial mRNA regulation: iron regulatory proteins and iso-iron-responsive elements (Iso-IREs).
Combinations of RNA elements (mRNA specific) with binding proteins give a wide range of responses to biological signals from iron, oxygen, NO, or growth factors. Combinatorial regulation of transcription to coordinate synthesis of groups of proteins is well known and is exemplified by steroid hormone-responsive genes (1). Combinatorial regulation of mRNA utilization to coordinate synthesis of g...
متن کاملOn Muthén’s Maximum Likelihood for Two-level Covariance Structure Models
Data in social and behavioral sciences are often hierarchically organized. Special statistical procedures that take into account the dependence of such observations have been developed. Among procedures for 2-level covariance structure analysis, Muthén’s maximum likelihood (MUML) has the advantage of easier computation and faster convergence. When data are balanced, MUML is equivalent to the ma...
