The first intron of the 4F2 heavy-chain gene contains a transcriptional enhancer element that binds multiple nuclear proteins.
We utilized the human 4F2 heavy-chain (4F2HC) gene as a model system to study the regulation of inducible gene expression during normal human T-cell activation. Previous studies have demonstrated that 4F2HC gene expression is induced during normal T-cell activation and that the activity of the gene is regulated, at least in part, by the interaction of a constitutively active 5'-flanking houseke...
متن کاملThe 4F2 heavy chain gene: a molecular model of inducible gene expression in human T cells.
We have utilized the human 4F2 heavy chain (4F2HC) gene as a model system in studies designed to elucidate the molecular events involved in regulating inducible gene expression during normal human T-cell activation. In previous studies we have shown that steady state levels of 4F2HC mRNA are induced 50-60-fold within 6 h of T-cell activation by phytohemagluttinin (PHA) and that the induction of...
متن کاملThe gene encoding the myeloid-related protein 14 (MRP14), a calcium-binding protein expressed in granulocytes and monocytes, contains a potent enhancer element in the first intron.
Myeloid-related proteins 8 and 14 (MRP8 and MRP14) are two Ca2+-binding proteins of the S-100 family highly abundant in myelomonocytic cells. The expression is not only dependent on the developmental status of the cell but also on the inflammatory situation in the tissue. In order to identify regulatory elements responsible for the high expression of MRP14 in myeloid cells, reporter gene constr...
متن کاملPi, a pre-B-cell-specific enhancer element in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer.
We have identified a new immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer element, designated pi, between the microE2 and microE3 elements. The pi enhancer element is transcriptionally active primarily during early stages of B-cell development but becomes virtually inactive during B-cell maturation at about the stage of immunoglobulin kappa light-chain gene rearrangement. Mutational analysis suggests that t...
متن کاملAn intron transcriptional enhancer element regulates IL-4 gene locus accessibility in mast cells.
The cell type-specific expression of a gene is dependent on developmentally regulated modifications in chromatin structure that allow accessibility of basal and inducible transcription factors. In this study, we demonstrate that a cis-acting element in the second intron of the murine IL-4 gene has a dual function in regulating transcription in mast cells as well as chromatin accessibility of th...
