چکیده

background:class ii transactivator (ciita) is a dominanttranscriptional element, controlling numerous genes in theimmune system. ciita is expressed in a constitutive pattern inantigen presenting cells although its expression can occur inother cell types. since the revelation of ciita, there have beenconsiderable advances toward understanding its role as anactivator of mhc ii genes in humans and mice; nonetheless,there is a lack of published data for this gene in other animals suchas chickens. objectives: the goals of this study were todetermine the expression of class ii transactivator (ciita) inchicken and analysis of the ciita gene sequence between fouriranian indigenous chicken ecotypes. methods:after securingthe research accuracy and optimization of reaction conditions,cdna and dna samples of gene were obtained from fouriranian indigenous chicken ecotypes. the pcr and rt-pcrproducts were sequenced and the data were analyzed bybioinformatics software. results: comparison of thesequencing results with the reference sequence of the red junglefowl revealed that these sequences belonged to the predictedciita gene. there was a high conservation rate in the sequenceof ciita. conclusions: our results indicated that like otherspecies, ciita is transcripted in chickens' immune system cells.further studies on chickens must be done to reveal ciitaroles inimmune responses of chickens.

Detection of gene expression and sequence analysis of chicken class II trans activator (CIITA)

BACKGROUND:Class II transactivator (CIITA) is a dominanttranscriptional element, controlling numerous genes in theimmune system. CIITA is expressed in a constitutive pattern inantigen presenting cells although its expression can occur inother cell types. Since the revelation of CIITA, there have beenconsiderable advances toward understanding its role as anactivator of MHC II genes in humans and...

The class II trans-activator CIITA interacts with the TBP-associated factor TAFII32.

The class II trans- activator (CIITA) is the main transcriptional co-activator for the expression of MHC class II proteins. Its N-terminal 125 amino acids function as an independent transcriptional activation domain. Analyses of the primary amino acid sequence of the activation domain predict the presence of three alpha-helices, each with a high proportion of acidic residues. Using site-directe...

Methylation of class II trans-activator promoter IV: a novel mechanism of MHC class II gene control.

Inhibition of class II trans-activator (CIITA) expression prevents embryonic trophoblast cells from up-regulating MHC class II genes in response to IFN-gamma. This is thought to be one mechanism of maternal tolerance to the fetal allograft. The CIITA gene is regulated by four distinct promoters; promoter III directs constitutive (B cell) expression, and promoter IV regulates IFN-gamma-inducible...

Suppression of MHC class II expression by human class II trans-activator constructs lacking the N-terminal domain.

The class II trans-activator (CIITA) is a bi- or multi-functional domain protein which plays a critical role in the expression of MHC class II genes. We report that removal of the N-terminal 151 amino acids, encompassing all of the acidic domain but leaving intact the proline/serine/threonine-rich domain, results in a mutant protein with potent suppressive properties for MHC class II expression...

Class II major histocompatibility complex transactivator (CIITA) inhibits matrix metalloproteinase-9 gene expression.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of structurally related proteins with the collective capability to degrade all components of the extracellular matrix. Although MMP-mediated degradation of the extracellular matrix occurs physiologically, numerous pathological conditions exhibit increased MMP levels and excessive matrix degradation. Previous work from our laboratory has shown that i...
