Analysis of possible silencer elements of ovine interferon-tau gene.
During the peri-implantation period significant production of ovine interferon-tau (olFNtau) by the trophectoderm is detected in day 13-16 conceptuses, but its level rapidly declines thereafter. To understand molecular mechanisms by which oIFNtau gene expression is down-regulated, a variety of deletion constructs were prepared from upstream sequences of the oIFNtau gene and examined for possibl...
متن کاملRecruitment of Histone Deacetylase 3 to the Interferon-A Gene Promoters Attenuates Interferon Expression
BACKGROUND Induction of Type I Interferon (IFN) genes constitutes an essential step leading to innate immune responses during virus infection. Sendai virus (SeV) infection of B lymphoid Namalwa cells transiently induces the transcriptional expression of multiple IFN-A genes. Although transcriptional activation of IFN-A genes has been extensively studied, the mechanism responsible for the attenu...
متن کاملDifferential regulation by multiple promoters of the gene encoding the neuron-restrictive silencer factor.
NRSF/REST is a protein that silences transcription of a number of genes that contain a DNA element called the neuron-restrictive silencer element (NRSE). During embryogenesis, REST is expressed ubiquitously in nonneural cells, but is down-regulated during differentiation of neural progenitors into neurons. REST is also up-regulated in adult neurons by activity, suggesting a possible role for th...
متن کاملPolymorphism in the First Intron of Interferon-Gamma Gene (+874T→A) in Iranian Patients with Brucellosis
Background: Brucella is a gram-negative bacterium, causing acute and chronic infection in humans and animals. Cell-mediated immunity is the main protective immune response against Brucella spp. Activation of macrophages by IFN-γ and generation of reactive oxygen intermediates and nitric oxide are the main immunologic mechanisms responsible for control of Brucella infection. Objective: To invest...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF A HUMAN INTERFERON a2 GENE IN E. COLI
The plasmid pALCA1SIFN containing cDNA that encodes the human interferon a-2b was obtained from the ATCC(no. 531667). In this system the expression of the gene is under the control of an alcA promoter. alcA p is a specific promoter for expression of different genes in Aspergillusfilamentous. In this plasmid the coding region of IFN?-2b is preceded by the coding region of a synthetic signal ...
