چکیده

We previously reported that the TATA-less rat xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) promoter is organized with multiple initiator elements (Inr 1, 2, 3 and 4). Additionally, we identified six factor binding footprints in the upstream region of this promoter (FP 1-FP 6), two of which (FP 2 and FP 4) we showed to be C/EBP binding sites. In this report we continue our characterization of the XDH/XO promoter, detailing other cis elements which comprise the Inr and upstream binding factors. Interestingly, multiple binding domains for known initiator binding proteins, YY-1 and USF-related factor/TFII-I, have been identified which potentially play an important role in transcription initiation.

Multiple initiators and C/EBP binding sites are involved in transcription from the TATA-less rat XDH/XO basal promoter.

In the present study, we have explored further the organization of the TATA-less rat xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase gene (XDH/XO). A DNase I hypersensitive site has been identified which it colocalizes with the basal promoter reported previously [Chow et al. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res., 22, 1846-1854]. Gel mobility shift assays indicate the presence of multiple binding factors located in the prom...

Correct usage of multiple transcription initiation sites and C/EBP-dependent transcription activation of the rat XDH/XO TATA-less promoter requires downstream elements located in the coding region of the gene.

In the present study, we have shown that a downstream element located in the coding region of the TATA-less rat xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) gene (-7 to +42) plays an important role in transcription initiation and C/EBP transcriptional activation. Previous work from our laboratory has shown that the promoter is organized with multiple initiator elements (Inr 1, 2, 3 and 4) which are ...

Identification of the rat xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase promoter.

Inflammation and ischemia--reperfusion tissue injury are important pathophysiologic processes with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations; the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) is thought to play a key role in ischemia--reperfusion injury. Recent studies have shown the transcriptional regulation of XDH/XO by cytokines (Dupont et al., 1992, J. Clin. Invest. 89, 197-202). In the p...

Characterization of the human beta-globin downstream promoter region.

The human beta-globin gene is abundantly expressed specifically in adult erythroid cells. Stage-specific transcription is regulated principally by promoter proximal cis-regulatory elements. The basal promoter contains a non-canonical TATA-like motif as well as an initiator element. These two elements have been shown to interact with the TFII-D complex. Here we show that in addition to the TATA ...

The Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat promoter is regulated by TFII-I.

Many viral genes contain core promoters with two basal control elements, the TATA box and the pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr). However, the molecular mechanisms involved in transcription initiation from composite core promoters (TATA(+) Inr(+)) containing Inr elements are unclear. The Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) long terminal repeat (LTR) contains a transcriptionally potent enhancer and core promo...
