Identification of the regulatory elements controlling the transmission stage-specific gene expression of PAD1 in Trypanosoma brucei
Trypanosomatid parasites provide an extreme model for the posttranscriptional control of eukaryotic gene expression. However, most analysis of their differential gene regulation has focussed on comparisons between life-cycle stages that exist in the blood of mammalian hosts and tsetse flies, the parasite's vector. These environments differ acutely in their temperature, and nutritional, metaboli...
متن کاملIdentifying Transcription Regulatory Elements in the Human and Mouse Genomes Using Tissue-specific Gene Expression Profiles
Revealing the complex interaction between transand cis-regulatory elements and identifying these potential binding sites are fundamental problems in understanding gene expression. The progresses in ChIP-chip technology facilitate identifying DNA sequences that are recognized by a specific transcription factor. However, protein-DNA binding is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for transc...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of regulatory elements controlling the expression of the ecdysone-regulated Drosophilang-1 gene
The steroid hormone ecdysone controls multiple aspects of insect development, including larval moults and metamorphosis, and can induce specific genetic responses in different tissues. The definition of the molecular mechanisms able to mediate this tissue-specific responsiveness may greatly contribute to understanding how such an accurate genetic response is achieved. In this work we have ident...
متن کاملIdentification and Functional Characterization of Cis-Regulatory Elements Controlling Expression of the Porcine ADRB2 Gene
The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (beta-2 AR) modulates metabolic processes in skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue in response to catecholamine stimulation. We showed previously that expression of the porcine beta-2 AR gene (ADRB2) is affected by cis-regulatory polymorphisms. These are most likely responsible for the association of ADRB2 with economically relevant muscle-related traits in p...
متن کاملDynamic organisation of prolactin gene expression in living pituitary tissue.
Gene expression in living cells is highly dynamic, but temporal patterns of gene expression in intact tissues are largely unknown. The mammalian pituitary gland comprises several intermingled cell types, organised as interdigitated networks that interact functionally to generate co-ordinated hormone secretion. Live-cell imaging was used to quantify patterns of reporter gene expression in disper...
