Abnormal Dosage Compensation of Reporter Genes Driven by the Drosophila Glass Multiple Reporter (GMR) Enhancer-Promoter
In Drosophila melanogaster the male specific lethal (MSL) complex is required for upregulation of expression of most X-linked genes in males, thereby achieving X chromosome dosage compensation. The MSL complex is highly enriched across most active X-linked genes with a bias towards the 3' end. Previous studies have shown that gene transcription facilitates MSL complex binding but the type of pr...
متن کاملResolving systematic errors in widely-used enhancer activity assays in human cells enables genome-wide functional enhancer characterization
The identification of transcriptional enhancers in the human genome is a prime goal in biology. Enhancers are typically predicted via chromatin marks, yet their function is primarily assessed with plasmid-based reporter assays. Here, we show that two previous observations relating to plasmid-transfection into human cells render such assays unreliable: (1) the function of the bacterial plasmid o...
متن کاملLiver-specific Liver-specific Glucocorticoid enhancer enhancer inducible cAMP-regulation enhancer Promoter
Fig. 18 Shown are the regulatory elements characterized so far, which control the transcription of the tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) gene. The TAT gene may be induced either by glycocorticoids or by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which activates the protein kinase A. All distances are given in kilobases (kb) and refer to the starting point of the TAT gene transcription (arrow). mediat...
متن کاملEnhancer elements
Defining transcriptional regulatory signals represents an essential step toward our understanding of eucaryotic gene expression. Analysis of genes transcribed by polymerase II has revealed a complex and interrelated set of “promoter elements.” Enhancers or activators are among the set of eucaryotic promoter elements that appear to increase transcriptional efficiency in a manner relatively indep...
متن کاملTargeting of Somatic Hypermutation by Enhancer and Enhancer-Like Sequences
Somatic hypermutation (SH) generates point mutations within rearranged immunoglobulin (Ig) genes of activated B cells, providing genetic diversity for the affinity maturation of antibodies. SH requires the activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) protein and transcription of the mutation target sequence, but how the Ig gene specificity of mutations is achieved has remained elusive. We show h...
