Analysis of transcriptional regulatory sequences in the human endogenous retrovirus W long terminal repeat.
The U3 region of the human endogenous retrovirus W long terminal repeat (HERV-W LTR) contains several putative regulatory sequences that might not only regulate transcription of viral genes but also influence the expression of neighbouring cellular genes. In this study, we analysed the U3 region in detail in order to understand the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of HERV-W. Two transcripti...
متن کاملCloning of GT box-binding proteins: a novel Sp1 multigene family regulating T-cell receptor gene expression.
Analysis of a T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) alpha promoter from a variable gene segment (V) revealed a critical GT box element which is also found in upstream regions of several V alpha genes, TCR enhancer, and regulatory elements of other genes. This element is necessary for TCR gene expression and binds several proteins. These GT box-binding proteins were identified as members of a novel Sp1 ...
متن کاملDifferent Sp1 family members differentially affect transcription from the human elongation factor 1 A-1 gene promoter.
The GC box is an important transcriptional regulatory element present in the promoters of many mammalian genes. In the present study we examine the effect of known GC-box-binding proteins on the promoter of the human elongation factor 1 A-1 (hEF1A-1) gene in human HeLa cells and Drosophila SL2 cells. In HeLa cells co-transfection with the GC-box-binding protein BTEB resulted in a 4-10-fold incr...
متن کاملIsolation of three kinds of human endogenous retrovirus-like sequences using tRNA(Pro) as a probe.
Three kinds of human endogenous retrovirus-like sequences (HuERS-P1, 2 and 3) were isolated from a HeLa cell genomic library using the 3'-half fragment of proline tRNA as a hybridization probe. These elements contained putative primer binding sites complementary to the 3'-terminus of proline tRNA and long terminal repeats (LTRs) characteristic of retrovirus provirus. The LTR sequence of HuERS-P...
متن کاملCloning and Characterization of the Murine and Rat mrp1 Promoter Regions.
The ATP-binding cassette transporter multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) confers resistance to a number of clinically important chemotherapeutic agents. The proximal promoter region of MRP1 is GC-rich and contains binding sites for members of the Sp1 family of trans-acting factors that seem to be important for basal expression. As an approach to searching for other elements that may contribut...
