Genome-Wide Identification of the Target Genes of AP2-O, a Plasmodium AP2-Family Transcription Factor
Stage-specific transcription is a fundamental biological process in the life cycle of the Plasmodium parasite. Proteins containing the AP2 DNA-binding domain are responsible for stage-specific transcriptional regulation and belong to the only known family of transcription factors in Plasmodium parasites. Comprehensive identification of their target genes will advance our understanding of the mo...
متن کاملGenome-wide identification of transcription factor target genes
Recent high-throughput techniques have allowed the identification of many DNA target sequences specifically bound by transcription factors at a genomic scale. UV or formaldehyde X-ChIP experiments performed on Drosophila embryos using Engrailed or Trithorax-like antibodies have led to the cloning and sequencing of in vivo Engrailed or Trl-recognized DNA fragments. The mining of such datasets ha...
متن کاملIdentification of ERF-1 as a member of the AP2 transcription factor family.
The ERF-1 transcription factor was previously shown to be involved in the regulation of estrogen receptor (ER) gene transcription in hormonally responsive breast and endometrial carcinomas. In this study we sought to identify the gene for ERF-1. ERF-1 activates ER gene transcription by binding to the imperfect palindrome CCCTGCGGGG within the promoter of the ER gene. ERF-1 protein was purified ...
متن کاملAP2/ERF Transcription Factor in Rice: Genome-Wide Canvas and Syntenic Relationships between Monocots and Eudicots
The transcription factor family intimately regulates gene expression in response to hormones, biotic and abiotic factors, symbiotic interactions, cell differentiation, and stress signalling pathways in plants. In this study, 170 AP2/ERF family genes are identified by phylogenetic analysis of the rice genome (Oryza sativa l. japonica) and they are divided into a total of 11 groups, including fou...
متن کاملThe Apicomplexan AP2 family: integral factors regulating Plasmodium development.
Malaria is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium and involves infection of multiple hosts and cell types during the course of an infection. To complete its complex life cycle the parasite requires strict control of gene regulation for survival and successful propagation. Thus far, the Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) family of DNA-binding proteins is the sole family of proteins to have...
