Regulation of apoA1 gene expression with acidosis: requirement for a transcriptional repressor.
Serum apolipoprotein A(1) (apoA(1)) concentration is inversely correlated with the risk of premature atherosclerosis. Serum apoA(1) concentrations are regulated, in part, at the transcriptional level. ApoA(1) mRNA is synthesized primarily in the liver and small intestine, under the direction of a number of signaling molecules and tissue-specific regulatory elements. Previously, we demonstrated ...
متن کاملRegulation of Gene Expression through a Transcriptional Repressor that Senses Acyl-Chain Length in Membrane Phospholipids
Membrane phospholipids typically contain fatty acids (FAs) of 16 and 18 carbon atoms. This particular chain length is evolutionarily highly conserved and presumably provides maximum stability and dynamic properties to biological membranes in response to nutritional or environmental cues. Here, we show that the relative proportion of C16 versus C18 FAs is regulated by the activity of acetyl-CoA ...
متن کاملRegulation of gene expression by manipulating transcriptional repressor activity using a novel CoSRI technology
Targeted gene manipulation is a central strategy for studying gene function and identifying related biological processes. However, a methodology for manipulating the regulatory motifs of transcription factors is lacking as these factors commonly possess multiple motifs (e.g. repression and activation motifs) which collaborate with each other to regulate multiple biological processes. We describ...
متن کاملPost-Transcriptional Regulation of Papillomavirus Gene Expression
Papillomavirus genomes are transcribed as one large complex transcription unit with multiple promoters, two poly(A) sites (early and late), and considerable alternative splicing. As a result, there are multiple opportunities for post-transcriptional regulation of papillomavirus gene expression. Although this area has not been as extensively studied as transcriptional regulation, there are a few...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of CFTR gene expression.
Cystic Fibrosis results from mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The gene was identified in 1989, but more than 20 years later, the regulatory mechanisms controlling its complex expression are still not fully understood. Though the promoter binds transcription factors and drives some aspects of CFTR gene expression, it cannot alone account for tissue...
