The transcription factor p53: Not a repressor, solely an activator
The predominant function of the tumor suppressor p53 is transcriptional regulation. It is generally accepted that p53-dependent transcriptional activation occurs by binding to a specific recognition site in promoters of target genes. Additionally, several models for p53-dependent transcriptional repression have been postulated. Here, we evaluate these models based on a computational meta-analys...
متن کاملGlucose-mediated phosphorylation converts the transcription factor Rgt1 from a repressor to an activator.
Glucose, the most abundant carbon and energy source, regulates the expression of genes required for its own efficient metabolism. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glucose induces the expression of the hexose transporter (HXT) genes by modulating the activity of the transcription factor Rgt1 that functions as a repressor when glucose is absent. However, in the presence of high concentratio...
متن کاملThe NFY transcription factor functions as a repressor and activator of the von Willebrand factor promoter.
Human von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene sequences -487 to +247 function as an endothelial-specific promoter in vitro. Analysis of the activation mechanism of the VWF promoter has resulted in the identification of a number of cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors that regulate its activity. The GATA and Ets transcription factors were shown to function as activators of transcription, wherea...
متن کاملThe E2 trans-activator can act as a repressor by interfering with a cellular transcription factor.
The E2 open reading frame (ORF) of the bovine papillomavirus (BPV-1) encodes a family of site-specific DNA-binding proteins. The full-length protein is a transcriptional activator, whereas the polypeptides that contain only the carboxy-terminal domain are repressors. Here we show that the trans-activator can work as a repressor of transcription for one of the BPV-1 promoters by binding to a DNA...
متن کاملp53 is a general repressor of RNA polymerase III transcription.
p53 is a major tumour suppressor that is inactivated in a large proportion of human cancers. We show that p53 serves as a general repressor of transcription by RNA polymerase (pol) III. It can inhibit the synthesis of a range of essential small cellular RNAs including tRNA, 5S rRNA and U6 snRNA, as well as viral products such as the adenovirus VAI RNA. Fibroblasts derived from p53 knock-out mic...
