Orphan nuclear hormone receptor Rev-erbalpha regulates the human apolipoprotein CIII promoter.
Apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) plays an important role in plasma triglyceride and remnant lipoprotein metabolism. Because hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor in coronary artery disease and the presence in plasma of triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins is correlated with atherosclerosis, considerable research efforts have been focused on the identification of factors regulating a...
متن کاملNR4A orphan nuclear receptors as mediators of CREB-dependent neuroprotection.
Induced expression of neuroprotective genes is essential for maintaining neuronal integrity after stressful insults to the brain. Here we show that NR4A nuclear orphan receptors are induced after excitotoxic and oxidative stress in neurons, up-regulate neuroprotective genes, and increase neuronal survival. Moreover, we show that NR4A proteins are induced by cAMP response element binding protein...
متن کاملXPD Mutations Prevent TFIIH-Dependent Transactivation by Nuclear Receptors and Phosphorylation of RARα
Inherited mutations in the XPD subunit of the general transcription/repair factor TFIIH yield the rare genetic disorder Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), the phenotypes of which cannot be explained solely on the basis of a DNA repair defect. In cells derived from XP-D patients, we observed a reduction of the ligand-dependent transactivation mediated by several nuclear receptors (RARalpha, ERalpha, an...
متن کاملTransactivation of human immunodeficiency virus promoter by human herpesvirus 6.
Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are often infected with a number of other heterologous viruses in addition to the initial human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and these agents could act as potential reactivating agents of latent HIV. A new antigenically distinct herpesvirus, designated human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), has recently been isolated from patients with AI...
متن کاملSynergistic activation of the human orphan nuclear receptor SHP gene promoter by basic helix-loop-helix protein E2A and orphan nuclear receptor SF-1.
The orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP; NR0B2) is an unusual orphan nuclear receptor that lacks a conventional DNA-binding domain and acts as a modulator of transcriptional activities of a number of nuclear receptors. We have previously reported that the orphan nuclear receptor ERRgamma activates the SHP promoter. In this study, we have found that basic helix-loop-helix (bHL...
