BCL-6, a POZ/zinc-finger protein, is a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor.
Approximately 40% of diffuse large cell lymphoma are associated with chromosomal translocations that deregulate the expression of the BCL6 gene by juxtaposing heterologous promoters to the BCL-6 coding domain. The BCL6 gene encodes a 95-kDa protein containing six C-terminal zinc-finger motifs and an N-terminal POZ domain, suggesting that it may function as a transcription factor. By using a DNA...
متن کاملZBTB20 is a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor of alpha-fetoprotein gene
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) represents a classical model system to study developmental gene regulation in mammalian cells. We previously reported that liver ZBTB20 is developmentally regulated and plays a central role in AFP postnatal repression. Here we show that ZBTB20 is a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor of AFP. By ELISA-based DNA-protein binding assay and conventional gel shift assa...
متن کاملDEC1 is a downstream target of TGF-beta with sequence-specific transcriptional repressor activities.
To identify genes that mediate transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling, a colorectal cancer cell line that was sensitive to the growth inhibitory effects of this cytokine was created. We then determined the global gene expression profiles of these cells, and those of HaCaT human keratinocytes, in the presence and absence of TGF-beta. Of the several genes identified in this screen, ...
متن کاملDrosophila CRYPTOCHROME Is a Circadian Transcriptional Repressor
BACKGROUND Although most circadian clock components are conserved between Drosophila and mammals, the roles assigned to the CRYPTOCHROME (CRY) proteins are very different: Drosophila CRY functions as a circadian photoreceptor, whereas mammalian CRY proteins (mCRY1 and 2) are transcriptional repressors essential for molecular clock oscillations. RESULTS Here we demonstrate that Drosophila CRY ...
متن کاملREST is a hypoxia-responsive transcriptional repressor
Cellular exposure to hypoxia results in altered gene expression in a range of physiologic and pathophysiologic states. Discrete cohorts of genes can be either up- or down-regulated in response to hypoxia. While the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) is the primary driver of hypoxia-induced adaptive gene expression, less is known about the signalling mechanisms regulating hypoxia-dependent gene repr...
