The Ah receptor and the mechanism of dioxin toxicity.
Over the last several decades, dioxins have become the subject of intense public and scientific scrutiny. This is the result of not only their widespread presence in the environment but also their great toxicity. The environmental issue has been addressed through the study of the production, release and fate of dioxins and related substances, as well as the development of analytical techniques ...
متن کاملA Third Locus (lxd) Affecting Xanthine Dehydrogenase in Drosophila Melanogaster.
WO genes which affect xanthine dehydrogenase in Drosophila melanogaster Tare already known. These are maroon-like (ma-1) on the X chromosome, and rosy ( r y ) on the third chromosome. The phenotype of both of these mutants is a dark red-brown eye color. When either of these genes is homozygous, the mutant flies have no detectable amounts of xanthine dehydrogenase (FORREST, GLASSMAN, and MITCHEL...
متن کاملThird-generation Ah receptor-responsive luciferase reporter plasmids: amplification of dioxin-responsive elements dramatically increases CALUX bioassay sensitivity and responsiveness.
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, dioxin) and related dioxin-like chemicals are widespread and persistent environmental contaminants that produce diverse toxic and biological effects through their ability to bind to and activate the Ah receptor (AhR) and AhR-dependent gene expression. The chemically activated luciferase expression (CALUX) system is an AhR-responsive recombinant lucifer...
متن کاملA third locus (ipo) affecting pyridoxal oxidase in Drosophila melanogaster.
X A N T H I N E dehydrogenase (XDH) o€ Drosophila melamgaster is controlled by at least three loci. Electrophoretic evidence (YEN and GLASSMAN 1965) indicates that r y (rosy eye color, 3-52.4), a mutant that lacks XDH (GLASSMAN and MITCHELL 1959), is the structural gene for this enzyme. Mutants of the other two loci, ma-1 (maroon-like eye color, 1-64?) and lxd (low xanthine dehydrogenase, 3-33?...
متن کاملCH223191 is a ligand-selective antagonist of the Ah (Dioxin) receptor.
The aryl hydrocarbon (dioxin) receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that produces a wide range of biological and toxic effects in many species and tissues. Whereas the best-characterized high-affinity ligands include structurally related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the AhR is promiscuous and can also be activated by s...
