Multiple regulatory elements control transcription of the peripheral myelin protein zero gene.
The gene encoding protein zero (P0), the most abundant protein of peripheral nervous system myelin, is expressed uniquely in Schwann cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that much of the cell type specificity of this expression is due to transcriptional control elements in the 1.1-kilobase pair 5'-regulatory region of the gene. We have now analyzed this region and have identified a set of ...
متن کاملThe proximal cis-acting elements Sp1, Sp3 and E2F regulate mouse mer gene transcription in Sertoli cells.
Mer belongs to the Tyro 3 family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Together with Axl and Rse, the three RTKs are believed to play important functional roles in the male gonads because gene knockout male mice lacking all of these receptors are infertile. In the present study, postnatal expression of Axl and Rse in mouse testes decreased during maturation while expression of Mer increased age-...
متن کاملPLACE: a database of plant cis-acting regulatory DNA elements
PLACE (http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp/htdocs/PLACE/) is a database of motifs found in plant cis -acting regulatory DNA elements, all from previously published reports. It covers vascular plants only. In addition to the motifs originally reported, their variations in other genes or in other plant species reported later are also compiled. The PLACE database also contains a brief description of each m...
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 کاملIdentification of cis-elements and transcription factors regulating neuronal activity-dependent transcription of human BDNF gene.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important mediator of activity-dependent functions of the nervous system and its expression is dysregulated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Regulation of rodent BDNF neuronal activity-dependent transcription has been relatively well characterized. Here, we have studied regulation of human BDNF (hBDNF) transcription by membrane depolarization...
