Cis-acting elements are required for selenium regulation of glutathione peroxidase-1 mRNA levels.
Classical glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) mRNA levels can decrease to less than 10% in selenium (Se)-deficient rat liver. The cis-acting nucleic acid sequence requirements for Se regulation of GPX1 mRNA levels were studied by transfecting Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with GPX1 DNA constructs in which specific regions of the GPX1 gene were mutated, deleted, or replaced by comparable regions f...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Zinc, Copper, Selenium and Glutathione Peroxidase in Different Groups of Colorectal Cancer Patients
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the fourth type of cancer that causes death in the world. Changes in levels of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), and Selenium (Se) as well as low glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity can lead to CRC and this study was aimed to evaluate their possible use as diagnostic markers. Methods: CRC patients (n=90) were divided into three groups; newly diagnosed,...
متن کاملMinimal cis-acting elements required for adenovirus genome packaging.
The design of drugs for treatment of virus infections and the exploitation of viruses as drugs for treatment of diseases could be made more successful by understanding the molecular mechanisms of virus-specific events. The process of assembly, and more specifically packaging of the genome into a capsid, is an obligatory step leading to future infections. To enhance our understanding of the mole...
متن کاملElevation of rat liver mRNA for selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase by selenium deficiency.
Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GSH-Px, GSH-H2O2 oxidoreductase EC 1.11.1.9) is the best characterized selenoprotein in higher animals, but the mechanism whereby selenium becomes incorporated into the enzyme protein remains under investigation. To elucidate the mechanism of insertion of selenium into Ge-GSH-Px further, we have systematically analyzed and compared the results of We...
متن کاملVasopressin mRNA localization in nerve cells: characterization of cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors.
mRNA localization is a complex pathway. Besides mRNA sorting per se, this process includes aspects of regulated translation. It requires protein factors that interact with defined sequences (or sequence motifs) of the transcript, and the protein/RNA complexes are finally guided along the cytoskeleton to their ultimate destinations. The mRNA encoding the vasopressin (VP) precursor protein is loc...
