Discrete positive and negative thyroid hormone-responsive transcription regulatory elements of the rat growth hormone gene.
We have recently shown that a thyroid hormone-responsive transcription stimulatory element exists in the 5'-flanking DNA near the rat growth hormone (rGH) gene (Crew, M. D., and Spindler, S. R. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 5018-5022). Progressive deletion-transfection analysis of the 5' end of the gene has led to the identification of two genetic elements responsive to thyroid hormone. The first ...
متن کاملDistance-dependent interactions between basal, cyclic AMP, and thyroid hormone response elements in the rat growth hormone promoter.
Developmental stage- and tissue-specific expression of the rat growth hormone (rGH) gene is conferred by DNA sequences within 237 base pairs of the transcription start site. Although binding of a number of transcription factors including Pit-1, Sp1, GHF3, and thyroid hormone receptor (T3R) stimulates rGH expression, several studies have suggested that interactions between these factors are impo...
متن کاملThe thyroid hormone receptor binds to multiple domains of the rat growth hormone 5'-flanking sequence.
Gel shift assays have been employed to examine the association of the thyroid hormone receptor with specific DNA sequences in the 5'-flanking DNA of the rat growth hormone (rGH) gene. This DNA is known to have structure(s) that mediate thyroid hormone effects on the rGH promoter. The receptors used were obtained from preparations purified 300-500-fold from rat liver nuclear extracts and contain...
متن کاملThyroid hormone regulation of the transfected rat growth hormone promoter.
A region of the rat growth hormone gene and 5' flanking DNA has been identified which promotes accurate, thyroid hormone-regulated transcriptional initiation. GC rat pituitary tumor cells were transfected with chimaeric plasmids containing various lengths of rat growth hormone gene and 5' flanking DNA fused to the coding region of the dominant selectable marker gene neo. Thyroid hormone inducti...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of the rat growth hormone promoter elements required for induction by thyroid hormone with and without a co-transfected beta type thyroid hormone receptor.
We have extensively characterized the sequences of the rat growth hormone (rGH) promoter required for induction by T3 (thyroid hormone, 3,5,3'-L-triiodothyronine) in a transient transfection system. Oligonucleotides containing portions of the rGH promoter sequence with various deletions and point mutations were placed upstream of the first 137 base pairs of the rGH promoter or the heterologous ...
