The core promoter region of human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A has been identified in the two 90 bp repeat sequences, which can be further divided into four imperfect tandem repeats, each containing an Sp 1 binding site in the reversed orientation. Gel retardation and DNase 1 footprinting assays identified Sp 1 to be the major transcription factor binding to MAO A core promoter. In addition, posit...
Mutations in the core promoter and precore regions are frequently found in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients, but precore stop codon mutation is restricted to hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes that have T at nucleotide 1858. The aims of this study were to determine the role of core promoter and/or precore mutations in HBeAg seroconversion and their impact on the subsequent course ...
Activating mutations in the core promoter of the TERT gene have been described in many different tumor entities. In vitro models showed a two- to fourfold increase in transcriptional activity of the TERT promoter through creation of a consensus binding motif for Ets/TCF transcription factors caused by these mutations. TERT core promoter mutations are the most common mutations in bladder cancer ...
The events leading to transcription of eukaryotic protein-coding genes culminate in the positioning of RNA polymerase II at the correct initiation site. The core promoter, which can extend ~35 bp upstream and/or downstream of this site, plays a central role in regulating initiation. Specific DNA elements within the core promoter bind the factors that nucleate the assembly of a functional preini...
We have investigated the core promoter structure of the oomycete Phytophthora infestans. The transcriptional start sites (TSS) of three previously characterized P. infestans genes, Piexo1, Piexo3, and Piendo1, were determined by primer extension analyses. The TSS regions were homologous to a previously identified 16-nucleotide (nt) core sequence that overlaps the TSS in most oomycete genes. The...
The present study aimed to investigate neural stem cell (NSC)-specific regulatory promoter elements. PCR was employed to amplify the full sequence (4,000 bp) and core sequence (400 bp) of the promoter and intron-2 of the mouse nestin gene. pcDNA3.1 was used as a template to construct 6 different recombinant plasmids. CMV, CMV + intron-2, the full sequence of the nestin gene promoter, the full s...
Transcriptional regulation is pivotal for development and differentiation of organisms. Transcription of eukaryotic protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) initiates at the core promoter. Core promoters, which encompass the transcription start site, may contain functional core promoter elements, such as the TATA box, initiator, TCT and downstream core promoter element. TRF2 (TATA-box...
Chromatin is a formidable barrier to transcription. Nucleosome density is lowest over the regulatory regions of active genes, and many repressed genes have a tightly positioned nucleosome over their core promoter. However, it has not been shown that nucleosome positioning is sufficient for repression or whether disrupting a core promoter nucleosome specifically can activate gene expression in t...
The glial cell specificity of the human papovavirus JC (JCV), an etiologic agent for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, is thought to be due to the presence of both positive and negative regulatory elements upstream of the TATA region within the JCV promoter. Here we report that the JCV minimal core promoter, containing only the TATA box and an 8-bp poly(T) region immediately upstream,...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA clones were propagated from 57 carriers with antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and sequenced within nucleotides (nt) 1685 to 1926 including the core promoter (nt 1742 to 1849) and the pre-C region (nt 1814 to 1900). Mutations in the core promoter or those in the pre-C region, or both, were detected in 328 (97.9%) of 335 clones from them. Five carriers were in...
