N-myc down-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1/Cap43) is inducible by a variety of environmental stressors, including hypoxia. The present study identified a cis-acting element mediating the transactivation of the NDRG1 gene in murine RAW264.7 macrophage cells treated with hypoxia or deferoxamine, an iron chelator mimicking hypoxia. Through a series of deletions of the promoter of NDRG1 luciferase construc...
Estrogen upregulates cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) expression in endothelial cells. To determine the basis of this process, studies were performed in ovine endothelial cells transfected with the human COX-1 promoter fused to luciferase. Estradiol (E2) caused activation of the COX-1 promoter with maximal stimulation at 10(-8) mol/L E2, and the response was mediated by either ERalpha or ERbeta. Mutage...
Since c-src overexpression increases colonic cell invasiveness and because both Src activity and urokinase receptor protein are elevated in invasive colon cancers, the present study was undertaken: 1) to determine if a constitutively active Src regulates urokinase receptor expression and 2) to identify required cis-elements and trans-acting factors. SW480 colon cancer cells transfected with an ...
Zinc finger proteins acquire DNA-binding ability by Zn (II) complexation. In the zinc finger domain of the Cys2His2 type, each finger is approximately 30 amino acid residues long and consists of a simple ββα–fold stabilized by chelation of a zinc ion with the conserved Cys2His2 residues. A zinc finger motif of Cys2His2 offers an attractive framework for the design of a novel DNA-binding protein...
Genomic Southern blots showed there are only 14 to 20 copies of U3 snRNA genes per somatic genome in Xenopus laevis, unlike the highly repetitive, tandem arrangement of other snRNA genes in this organism. Sequencing of two U3 snRNA genes from lambda clones of a genomic library revealed striking similarity upstream, but much more divergence downstream. Consensus motifs common to other U snRNA ge...
Comparative genomics is a promising approach to the challenging problem of eukaryotic regulatory element identification, because functional noncoding sequences may be conserved across species from evolutionary constraints. We systematically analyzed known human and Saccharomyces cerevisiae regulatory elements and discovered that human regulatory elements are more conserved between human and mou...
Purpose: Studies on the transactivation of genes via promoter elements have mostly been done on cell lines rather than resected tissues. This, however, is essential to address an in vivo or clinical relevance.We have previously shown tumor-specific binding of Sp1and an activator protein (AP)-2^ related factor to promoter region 152/ 135 of the metastasis-related u-PAR gene in 60% of in vivo ^ r...
استیلاسیون پروتئینهای هیستونی یکی از مهمترین فرآیندهای اپیژنتیکی است که به منظور تنظیم بیان ژنها رخ میدهد. کروماتین به واسطهی اتصال گروه استیل به دنبالهی هیستونی نوکلئوزومهایش، رشتهی DNA را در دسترس فاکتورهای رونویسی و دیگر پروتئینهای تنظیمکنندهی بیان ژن قرار میدهد. مطالعات نشان داده که نوع استیلاسیون نوکلئوزومها میتواند در شناسایی جایگاه پیوند فاکتورهای رونویسی یک سیگنال مهم باش...
Plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a phospholipase that inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like lipids to generate products with little or no biological activity. The levels of circulating PAF-AH correlate with several disease syndromes. We previously reported that mediators of inflammation regulate the expression of the human PAF-AH gene at the tran...
Robo4, a member of the roundabout family, is expressed exclusively in endothelial cells and has been implicated in endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis. Here we report the cloning and characterization of the human Robo4 promoter. The 3-kb 5'-flanking region directs endothelial cell-specific expression in vitro. Deletion and mutation analyses revealed the functional importance of two 12-b...
