CpG methylation has differential effects on the binding of YY1 and ETS proteins to the bi-directional promoter of the Surf-1 and Surf-2 genes.
The divergently transcribed Surf-1 and Surf-2 housekeeping genes are separated by a bi-directional, TATA-less promoter which lies within a CpG-rich island. Here we show that CpG methylation severely reduces transcription in the direction of both Surf-1 and Surf-2. Previous work has identified three promoter elements (Su1, Su2 and Su3) which are conserved between the human and mouse Surf-1/Surf-...
متن کاملAlternate activation of two divergently transcribed mouse genes from a bidirectional promoter is linked to changes in histone modification.
Thymidine kinase (TK) is a growth factor-inducible enzyme that is highly expressed in proliferating mammalian cells. Expression of mouse TK mRNA is controlled by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms including antisense transcription. Here we report the identification of a novel gene that is divergently transcribed from the bidirectional TK promoter. This gene encodes kynurenine fo...
متن کاملCan't surf, won't surf: The digital divide in mental health
BACKGROUND New health information technology (HIT) increasingly plays a role in health care as technology becomes cheaper and more widespread. However, there is a danger that those who do not use or have access to technology will not benefit from HIT innovations, thus creating a "digital divide". AIMS To assess the extent to which mental health service users have access to, skills in using an...
متن کاملThe surf is up
still remember that brief moment that revealed the astonishment of everyone in the audience. Andrew Cleland had just concluded his talk at the conference ‘Quantum Optics of Nanoand Micromechanical Systems’, which was held last July in Bad Honnef, Germany. He had taken us all by surprise. Andrew’s talk had begun as a review of recent results of his and John Martinis’ team — they had achieved an ...
متن کاملCharacterization of SURF-1 expression and Surf-1p function in normal and disease conditions.
Loss-of-function mutations of the SURF-1 gene have been associated with Leigh syndrome with cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency. Mature Surf-1 protein (Surf-1p) is a 30 kDa hydrophobic polypeptide whose function is still unknown. Using antibodies against a recombinant, hemagglutinin-tagged Surf-1p, we have demonstrated that this protein is imported into mitochondria as a larger precursor, whi...
