Transcriptional regulation of the MHC class I HLA-A11 promoter by the zinc finger protein ZFX.
Regulation of the human MHC class I HLA-A11 promoter is governed by a complex array of regulatory elements. One of these elements, shown here to be critical for the transcriptional activity of the promoter, was used to screen a lambda gt11 library and allowed the identification of a cDNA which coded for the zinc finger protein ZFX. ZFX was shown to bind the sequences AGGGCCCCA and AGGCCCCGA, lo...
متن کاملRegulation of MHC Class I by Viruses
Originally recognized for their role in triggering T cell responses that caused the rejection of transplanted tissue, it is now known that MHC-encoded molecules are involved in immunesurveillance and antigen presentation to T lymphocytes. These MHC molecules act as “signposts” that displays fragmented pieces of an antigen (viral proteins in virus-infected cells or mutated proteins in tumor cell...
متن کاملStable Down-Regulation of HLA Class-I by Serum Starvation in Human PBMCs
Background: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching between organ donor and recipient is an acceptable strategy in clinical transplantation since 1964. However, in bone marrow transplantation, finding matched donors is often problematic. Thus new method for down regulation of HLA can be an alternative strategy to solve this problem. Objective: To examine the effect of serum starvation on HLA...
متن کاملPost-Transcriptional Regulation of the Trypanosome Heat Shock Response by a Zinc Finger Protein
In most organisms, the heat-shock response involves increased heat-shock gene transcription. In Kinetoplastid protists, however, virtually all control of gene expression is post-transcriptional. Correspondingly, Trypanosoma brucei heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) synthesis after heat shock depends on regulation of HSP70 mRNA turnover. We here show that the T. brucei CCCH zinc finger protein ZC3H11...
متن کاملRegulation of Adipocyte Differentiation by the Zinc Finger Protein ZNF638*
Zinc finger proteins constitute the largest family of transcription regulators in eukaryotes. These factors are involved in diverse processes in many tissues, including development and differentiation. We report here the characterization of the zinc finger protein ZNF638 as a novel regulator of adipogenesis. ZNF638 is induced early during adipocyte differentiation. Ectopic expression of ZNF638 ...
