Long Range Regulation of Human FXN Gene Expression
BACKGROUND Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the most common form of hereditary ataxia characterized by the presence of a GAA trinucleotide repeat expansion within the first intron of the FXN gene. The expansion inhibits FXN gene expression resulting in an insufficiency of frataxin protein. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING In this study, computational analyses were performed on the 21.3 kb region upst...
متن کاملRNA expression analysis using an antisense Bacillus subtilis genome array.
We have developed an antisense oligonucleotide microarray for the study of gene expression and regulation in Bacillus subtilis by using Affymetrix technology. Quality control tests of the B. subtilis GeneChip were performed to ascertain the quality of the array. These tests included optimization of the labeling and hybridization conditions, determination of the linear dynamic range of gene expr...
متن کاملRepression of Integrin fa Subunit Expression by Antisense RNA
A quail cell line (QT6-c) was co-transfected with PTEX vector expressing RNAcomplementary to chicken integrin fr subunit mRNA(Anti-Int) and pRSVneo vector by a calcium phosphate method. Transfectants showing reduced expression of quail integrin fa subunit were selected with an immunoblot assay, and a few positive clones were examinedin detail. Northern blot and immunoblotanalyses revealed that ...
متن کاملExpression of antisense RNA targeted against Streptococcus thermophilus bacteriophages.
Antisense RNA complementary to a putative helicase gene (hel3.1) of a cos-type Streptococcus thermophilus bacteriophage was used to impede the proliferation of a number of cos-type S. thermophilus bacteriophages and one pac-type bacteriophage. The putative helicase gene is a component of the Sfi21-type DNA replication module, which is found in a majority of the S. thermophilus bacteriophages of...
متن کاملExpanded GAA repeats impair FXN gene expression and reposition the FXN locus to the nuclear lamina in single cells.
Abnormally expanded DNA repeats are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. In Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), expanded GAA repeats in intron 1 of the frataxin gene (FXN) reduce FXN mRNA levels in averaged cell samples through a poorly understood mechanism. By visualizing FXN expression and nuclear localization in single cells, we show that GAA-expanded repeats decrease the number of FX...
