Purification and characterization of the serum amyloid A3 enhancer factor.
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute-phase protein synthesized and secreted mainly by the liver. In response to acute inflammation, its expression may be induced up to 1000-fold, primarily as a result of a 200-fold increase in the rate of SAA gene transcription. We showed previously that cytokine-induced transcription of the SAA3 gene promoter requires a transcriptional enhancer that contains...
متن کاملSerum amyloid A is a retinol binding protein that transports retinol during bacterial infection
Retinol plays a vital role in the immune response to infection, yet proteins that mediate retinol transport during infection have not been identified. Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are strongly induced in the liver by systemic infection and in the intestine by bacterial colonization, but their exact functions remain unclear. Here we show that mouse and human SAAs are retinol binding proteins. ...
متن کاملA Novel Mechanism for Regulating Activity of a Transcription Factor That Controls the Unfolded Protein Response
Cells respond to an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by increasing transcription of genes encoding ER-resident proteins. The information is transmitted from the ER lumen to the nucleus by an intracellular signaling pathway, the unfolded protein response (UPR). We have identified a basic-leucine zipper transcription factor, Hac1p, that is required for the UPR a...
متن کاملProtein related to DAN and cerberus is a bone morphogenetic protein antagonist that participates in ovarian paracrine regulation.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are important for body patterning and morphogenesis, whereas several BMP antagonists regulate the functions of BMPs during embryonic development and tissue differentiation. Protein related to DAN and cerberus (PRDC) is a secreted protein with a cystine knot structure identified by gene trapping in embryonic stem cells. Although PRDC shows sequence homology wit...
متن کاملRapid communication: cloning of bovine serum amyloid A3 cDNA.
Name of Sequence. Bovine serum amyloid A3. Genus and Species, Breed. Bos taurus, Holstein. Origin of Clone. cDNA clones that showed differentially up-regulated message in involuted mammary tissues compared with lactating tissues have been isolated by a subtractive suppression hybridization method. These clones were sequenced by a dideoxy method using ABI PRISM Big Dye Terminators (Forster City,...
