Promoter selective transcriptional synergy mediated by sterol regulatory element binding protein and Sp1: a critical role for the Btd domain of Sp1.
Cellular cholesterol and fatty acid levels are coordinately regulated by a family of transcriptional regulatory proteins designated sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). SREBP-dependent transcriptional activation from all promoters examined thus far is dependent on the presence of an additional binding site for a ubiquitous coactivator. In the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) recept...
متن کاملA simple promoter containing two Sp1 sites controls the expression of sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 1a (SREBP-1a).
The mammalian gene for SREBP-1 (sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 1) contains two promoters that control the production of two proteins, SREBP-1a and -1c, and each contains a unique N-terminal transcriptional activation domain, but they are otherwise identical. The relative level of each mRNA varies from tissue to tissue and they respond differently to regulatory stimuli. SREBP-1c is mo...
متن کاملSp1 and Sp3 transactivate the human lipoprotein lipase gene promoter through binding to a CT element: synergy with the sterol regulatory element binding protein and reduced transactivation of a naturally occurring promoter variant.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipoprotein and energy metabolism and, therefore, regulation of its expression could have an important bearing on these processes. We have identified an evolutionarily conserved 5'-CCTCCCCCC-3' motif (from -91 to -83, CT element) in the human LPL gene promoter, deletion or mutation of which caused approximately 70-80% decrease in promoter activity. We...
متن کاملSelective Sp1 binding is critical for maximal activity of the human c-kit promoter.
The receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit is necessary for normal hematopoiesis, the development of germ cells and melanocytes, and the pathogenesis of certain hematologic and nonhematologic malignancies. To better understand the regulation of the c-kit gene, a detailed analysis of the core promoter was performed. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and RNase protection methods showed two major tr...
متن کاملCharacterization of human involucrin promoter distal regulatory region transcriptional activator elements-a role for Sp1 and AP1 binding sites.
Human involucrin (hINV) is an important precursor of the keratinocyte cornified envelope that is specifically expressed in the suprabasal layers of stratifying epithelia. Previous truncation and mutagenesis experiments have shown that an activator protein 1 (Ap1) site, AP1-5, located 2100bp upstream of the transcription start site, is required for optimal promoter activity. These previous studi...
