Protein-DNA interactions in vivo of an erythroid-specific, human beta-globin locus enhancer.
The 5' DNase I-hypersensitive site 2 (5' HS-2) is an erythroid-specific enhancer located 11 kilobases (kb) upstream of the human beta-globin gene cluster. Presence in cis of 5' HS-2 confers a high level of erythroid cell-specific and developmentally regulated promoter activities of human globin genes in transfected cell cultures and in transgenic mice. Combining the use of the methylation prote...
متن کاملUncovering Enhancer Functions Using the α-Globin Locus
Over the last three decades, studies of the α- and β-globin genes clusters have led to elucidation of the general principles of mammalian gene regulation, such as RNA stability, termination of transcription, and, more importantly, the identification of remote regulatory elements. More recently, detailed studies of α-globin regulation, using both mouse and human loci, allowed the dissection of t...
متن کاملFunctional motifs in Escherichia coli NC101
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria can damage DNA of the gut lining cells and may encourage the development of colon cancer according to recent reports. Genetic switches are specific sequence motifs and many of them are drug targets. It is interesting to know motifs and their location in sequences. At the present study, Gibbs sampler algorithm was used in order to predict and find functional m...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of α-Parvin in vivo
The focal adhesion (FA) protein α-Parvin (αPv) has been shown to regulate integrin signalingand integrin-actin linkage. Here we report that the conditional deletion of the αPv gene inkeratinocytes leads to impaired hair follicle (HF) morphogenesis, epidermal hyperplasia andmicro-blistering. Expression of integrin α6 was reduced on αPv-deficient keratinocytes,leading to defects i...
متن کاملRoles of Dermcidin, Salusin-α, Salusin-β and TNF-α in the Pathogenesis of Human Brucellosis
Background:Brucella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens that can cause chronic infections in many tissues and organs. Objectives: To investigate serum dermcidin, salusin-alpha, salusin-beta and TNF-alpha levels and their correlation with each other in patients with acute brucellosis. Methods: From 50 patients hospitalized upon...
