Tissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...
متن کاملNovel cis element for tissue-specific transcription of rat platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor gene.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors are widely expressed in several tissues in the stage of cellular growth and development. In adulthood, PDGF beta-receptor (PDGFbetaR) is mainly detected in pathological conditions such as atherosclerotic lesions and injured vascular wall. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the underlying mechanism of PDGFbetaR gene expressio...
متن کاملNovel Cis Element for Tissue-Specific Transcription of Rat Platelet-Derived Growth Factor b-Receptor Gene
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors are widely expressed in several tissues in the stage of cellular growth and development. In adulthood, PDGF b-receptor (PDGFbR) is mainly detected in pathological conditions such as atherosclerotic lesions and injured vascular wall. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the underlying mechanism of PDGFbR gene expression under p...
متن کاملThyroid hormone regulation of the transfected rat growth hormone promoter.
A region of the rat growth hormone gene and 5' flanking DNA has been identified which promotes accurate, thyroid hormone-regulated transcriptional initiation. GC rat pituitary tumor cells were transfected with chimaeric plasmids containing various lengths of rat growth hormone gene and 5' flanking DNA fused to the coding region of the dominant selectable marker gene neo. Thyroid hormone inducti...
متن کاملProstatic nerve growth factor inducible A gene binds a novel element in the retinoblastoma gene promoter.
We are investigating the role of the early response transcription factor, nerve growth factor inducible A gene (NGFI-A), as a modulator of retinoblastoma (RB) gene transcription in prostate cells. Examination of the RB promoter reveals a novel element GCGGGGGAG located at nucleotides 152-144 upstream of the methionine initiation codon. This sequence shares strong homology with the consensus NGF...
