pp52 (LSP1) is a leukocyte-speci®c phosphoprotein that binds the cytoskeleton and has been implicated in affecting cytoskeletal remodeling in a variety of leukocyte functions, including cell motility and chemotaxis. The expression of pp52 is restricted to leukocytes by a 549 bp tissue-speci®c promoter. Here, we show that promoter fragments smaller than the 549 bp pp52 promoter have activity in ...
متن کاملSelectable Marker Gene Removal and Expression of Transgene by Inducible Promoter Containing FFDD Cis-Acting elements in Transgenic plants
Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...
متن کاملSilencer elements controlling the B29 (Igbeta) promoter are neither promoter- nor cell-type-specific.
The murine B29 (Igbeta) promoter is B cell specific and contains essential SP1, ETS, OCT, and Ikaros motifs. Flanking 5' DNA sequences inhibit B29 promoter activity, suggesting this region contains silencer elements. Two adjacent 5' DNA segments repress transcription by the murine B29 promoter in a position- and orientation-independent manner, analogous to known silencers. Both these 5' segment...
متن کاملRegulation of protocadherin gene expression by multiple neuron-restrictive silencer elements scattered in the gene cluster
The clustered protocadherins are a subfamily of neuronal cell adhesion molecules that play an important role in development of the nervous systems in vertebrates. The clustered protocadherin genes exhibit complex expression patterns in the central nervous system. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanism underlying neuronal expression of protocadherin genes using the protocadh...
متن کاملCis-acting elements in the antigenomic promoter of Nipah virus.
Genome synthesis in paramyxoviruses, including Nipah virus (NiV), is controlled by sequence elements that reside in the non-coding nucleotides at the 5'-trailer (3'-antigenomic) end that make up the antigenomic promoter (AGP). Using a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase-based plasmid-driven minigenome system, the terminal 96 nt of NiV AGP were first mutagenized in blocks of three hexamers to ena...
