Human estrogen sulfotransferase (SULT1E1) pharmacogenomics: gene resequencing and functional genomics.
1. Estrogens are used as drugs and estrogen exposure is a risk factor for hormone-dependent diseases such as breast cancer. Sulfate conjugation is an important pathway for estrogen metabolism. The sulfotransferase (SULT) enzyme SULT1E1 has the lowest K(m) values for estrogens and catecholestrogens of the 10 known human SULT isoforms. 2. We previously cloned and characterized the human SULT1E1 c...
متن کاملTransactivation of glucocorticoid-inducible rat aryl sulfotransferase (SULT1A1) gene transcription.
The purpose of the current study was to establish the role of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and androgen receptor (AR) transcription factors in the transactivation of rat aryl sulfotransferase (SULT1A1) gene transcription and to identify the functional hormone-responsive element(s) in the SULT1A1 gene. A cis-acting inverted repeat with three intervening bases (IR3) was identified in the 5'-f...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the mouse estrogen sulfotransferase gene reveals a role of estrogen metabolism in intracrine and paracrine estrogen regulation.
Elicitation of biological responses by estrogen in target tissues requires the presence of ER as well as receptor-active ligand in the local microenvironment. Though much attention has been devoted to the study of the receptor in estrogen target tissues, the concept is emerging that tissue estrogen sensitivity may also be regulated by ligand availability through metabolic transformation in situ...
متن کاملHuman Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene: molecular characterization of its two mRNA species.
Two cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) mRNAs of about 0.7 and 0.9 kilobases (Kb.) were previously found in a variety of human cells. The two SOD-1 mRNAs are transcribed from the same gene and the major 0.7 Kb. species is approximately four times more abundant than the minor 0.9 Kb. mRNA. These two mRNAs differ in the length of their 3'-untranslated region and both have multiple 5'-ends. T...
متن کاملGene structure, promoter characterization, and basis for alternative mRNA splicing of the human CD58 gene.
The 60-kDa lymphocyte function-associated Ag-3 (LFA-3/CD58), a highly glycosylated adhesion molecule that serves as ligand for the T cell-restricted glycoprotein CD2, is encoded by a gene at the human chromosome locus 1p13. We have elucidated the exon-intron organization of the entire human CD58 gene, including approximately 2.5 kilobases (kb) of 5'-flanking DNA. Four overlapping genomic clones...
