Mouse Oct-1 contains a composite homeodomain of human Oct-1 and Oct-2.
Members of the Oct family of transcription factors specifically interact with the octamer motif, ATGC-AAAT, a regulatory element important for tissue- and cell-specific transcription as well as for the expression of housekeeping genes. Except for Oct-1, all Oct factors are expressed in a temporally and spatially restricted mode during murine development and their number varies in a given cell t...
متن کاملThe tales of two organic cation transporters, OCT-1 and OCT-2, in Caenorhabditis elegans
Solute carrier transporters, previously thought to perform roles in the transport of ions and various nutrients are now assigned broader functions. These transporters have recently been shown to permit entry of therapeutic drugs into cells. There is growing interest to understand the broad spectrum of drugs and chemical compounds that are recognized by these transporters such that specific liga...
متن کاملDNA-dependent conversion of Oct-1 and Oct-2 into transcriptional repressors by Groucho/TLE
POU domain proteins contain a bipartite DNA-binding element that can confer allosteric control of coactivator recruitment. Dimerization of Oct-1 and Oct-2 on palindromic response elements results in the conformational dependent inclusion or exclusion of the transcriptional coactivator OBF-1. In this paper, we demonstrate that Oct-1 and Oct-2 can function as transcriptional repressors by recruit...
متن کاملDifferential positive control by Oct-1 and Oct-2: activation of a transcriptionally silent motif through Oct-1 and VP16 corecruitment.
Transcriptional regulation by the ubiquitous human POU homeo domain protein Oct-1 and the related B-cell protein Oct-2 is a model for understanding how proteins that recognize the same regulatory site elicit different programs of gene transcription. Here, we describe a mechanism for differential promoter activation whereby only Oct-1, through selective corecruitment with the herpesvirus trans-a...
متن کاملTranscriptional Regulation of the HMGA1 Gene by Octamer-Binding Proteins Oct-1 and Oct-2
The High-Mobility Group AT-Hook 1 (HMGA1) protein is an architectural transcription factor that binds to AT-rich sequences in the promoter region of DNA and functions as a specific cofactor for gene activation. Previously, we demonstrated that HMGA1 is a key regulator of the insulin receptor (INSR) gene and an important downstream target of the INSR signaling cascade. Moreover, from a pathogeni...
