Cell-specific Transcription of Leukotriene C4Synthase Involves a Kruppel-like Transcription Factor and Sp1

Transcription Factor IID Recruitment and Sp1 Activation

Cyclin D1 is an oncogene that regulates progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. A temperaturesensitive missense mutation in the transcription factor TAF1/TAFII250 induces the mutant ts13 cells to arrest in late G1 by decreasing transcription of cell cycle regulators, including cyclin D1. Here we provide evidence that TAF1 serves two independent functions, one at the core promoter an...

The thromboprotective effect of bortezomib is dependent on the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2).

Multiple myeloma confers a high risk for vascular thrombosis, a risk that is increased by treatment with immunomodulatory agents. Strikingly, inclusion of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reduces thrombotic risk, yet the molecular basis for this observation remains unknown. Here, we show that bortezomib prolongs thrombosis times in the carotid artery photochemical injury assay in normal mice...

metabolic syndrome and mitochondrial transcription factor a

The embryonal carcinoma stem cell Ela-like activity involves a differentiation-regulated transcription factor.

Murine F9 embryonal carcinoma (EC) stem cells have an Ela-like transcription activity that is undetectable in F9 cells differentiated to parietal endoderm-like cells (F9-PE). The Ela-inducible adenovirus E2A promoter has been used to further define this activity and we show that in vitro the transcription of this promoter in F9 EC and F9-PE cell extracts reflects the regulation in vivo. In EC c...
