Snail1 transcriptional repressor binds to its own promoter and controls its expression
The product of Snail1 gene is a transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin expression and an inductor of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in several epithelial tumour cell lines. Transcription of Snail1 is induced when epithelial cells are forced to acquire a mesenchymal phenotype. In this work we demonstrate that Snail1 protein limits its own expression: Snail1 binds to an E-box present in i...
متن کاملProhepcidin binds to the HAMP promoter and autoregulates its own expression.
Hepcidin is the major regulatory peptide hormone of iron metabolism, encoded by the HAMP (hepcidin antimicrobial peptide) gene. Hepcidin is expressed mainly in hepatocytes, but is also found in the blood in both a mature and prohormone form. Although, the function of mature hepcidin and the regulation of the HAMP gene have been extensively studied, the intracellular localization and the fate of...
متن کاملDimeric Brucella abortus Irr protein controls its own expression and binds haem.
Brucella abortus needs to synthesize haem in order to replicate intracellularly and to produce virulence in mice. Thus, to gain insight into the pathogenesis of the bacterium, regulatory proteins of the haem biosynthetic pathway were sought. An iron response regulator (Irr) from Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which is a close relative of Brucella, was previously described as being involved in the co...
متن کاملGFI1B controls its own expression binding to multiple sites.
BACKGROUND Transcription factors play essential roles in both normal and malignant hematopoiesis. This is the case for the growth factor independent 1b (GFI1B) transcription factor, which is required for erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation and over-expressed in leukemic patients and cell lines. DESIGN AND METHODS To investigate GFI1B regulation, we searched for multispecies conserved...
متن کاملEach rhodopsin molecule binds its own arrestin.
Arrestins (Arrs) are ubiquitous regulators of the most numerous family of signaling proteins, G protein-coupled receptors. Two models of the Arr-receptor interaction have been proposed: the binding of one Arr to an individual receptor or to two receptors in a dimer. To determine the binding stoichiometry in vivo, we used rod photoreceptors where rhodopsin (Rh) and Arr are expressed at comparabl...
