[Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency].
We examined the enzyme protein and biosynthesis of human trifunctional protein harboring enoyl-CoA hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase activity in cultured skin fibroblasts from two patients with longchain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. The following results were obtained. (a) In cells from patient 1, immunoblot analysis and pulse-chase experimen...
متن کاملAlternate activation of two divergently transcribed mouse genes from a bidirectional promoter is linked to changes in histone modification.
Thymidine kinase (TK) is a growth factor-inducible enzyme that is highly expressed in proliferating mammalian cells. Expression of mouse TK mRNA is controlled by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms including antisense transcription. Here we report the identification of a novel gene that is divergently transcribed from the bidirectional TK promoter. This gene encodes kynurenine fo...
متن کاملAssessing TF regulatory relationships of divergently transcribed genes.
Ambiguously located transcription factor (TF) binding sites may introduce a large number of potentially erroneous regulatory associations into models of transcriptional regulatory networks. We have used a two-step expression similarity strategy to distinguish between likely and unlikely regulatory associations for TFs located between divergently transcribed genes in the yeast genome. Most regul...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Attenuates Mitochondrial Lipid β-Oxidation by Downregulating Mitochondrial Trifunctional-Protein Expression
UNLABELLED The course of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and disease progression involves alterations in lipid metabolism, leading to symptoms such as hypocholesterolemia and steatosis. Steatosis can be induced by multiple mechanisms, including increases in lipid biosynthesis and uptake, impaired lipoprotein secretion, and/or attenuation of lipid β-oxidation. However, little is known about th...
متن کاملcis-acting sequences required for expression of the divergently transcribed Drosophila melanogaster Sgs-7 and Sgs-8 glue protein genes.
The Sgs-7 and Sgs-8 glue genes at 68C are divergently transcribed and are separated by 475 bp. Fusion genes with Adh or lacZ coding sequences were constructed, and the expression of these genes, with different amounts of upstream sequences present, was tested by a transient expression procedure and by germ line transformation. A cis-acting element for both genes is located asymmetrically in the...
