ATF3 rSNPs, transcriptional factor binding sites and human etiology
نویسنده
چکیده
Three rSNPs (rs3125289, rs1877474 and rs11119982) in one intron of the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) gene have been significantly associated with the human etiology of hypospadias and may be associated with human disease. These rSNP alleles alter the DNA landscape for potential transcriptional factors (TFs) to attach resulting in changes in transcriptional factor binding sites (TFBS). These TFBS changes are examined with respect to the human etiology of hypospadias which has been found to be significantly associated with the rSNPs.

متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of activating transcription factor 3 involves the early growth response-1 gene.
Previously, our laboratory identified activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) as up-regulated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs using microarray analysis of mRNA from human colorectal cancer cells treated with sulindac sulfide. ATF3 is a transcription factor involved in cell growth, apoptosis, and invasion and is induced by a variety of anticancer and dietary compounds. However, the regu...

Transcription factor binding specificity is crucial for proper target gene regulation. Motif discovery algorithms identify the main features of the binding patterns, but the accuracy on the lower affinity sites is often poor. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a ubiquitous redox-activated transcription factor having a key protective role against endogenous and exogenous oxidant and el...
متن کاملIdentification of candidate regulatory SNPs by combination of transcription-factor-binding site prediction, SNP genotyping and haploChIP
UNLABELLED Disease-associated SNPs detected in large-scale association studies are frequently located in non-coding genomic regions, suggesting that they may be involved in transcriptional regulation. Here we describe a new strategy for detecting regulatory SNPs (rSNPs), by combining computational and experimental approaches. Whole genome ChIP-chip data for USF1 was analyzed using a novel motif...
