Effect of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein on expression of the gene for chicken malic enzyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The gene for malic enzyme is expressed at a high level in chick embryo-hepatocytes (CEH) treated with triiodothyronine (T3) and at a low level in the absence of T3. In chick-embryo fibroblasts (CEF), expression of the malic enzyme gene is low and not regulated by T3. Specific nuclear proteins from both CEH and CEF bound to a consensus CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) site at -335 to -327 bp of the malic enzyme gene. The level of binding was much higher in extracts from CEH than in extracts of CEF, and the complexes formed had different mobilities. C/EBPalpha was present in the complex that bound to the C/EBP site in nuclear extracts from CEH but not in those from CEF. The C/EBP element was necessary and sufficient to bestow full T3 responsiveness to 5800 bp of 5'-flanking DNA of the malic enzyme gene in CEH. C/EBPalpha was not detectable in wild-type CEF, and deletion of the C/EBP binding site had no effect on expression of transgenes containing 5800 bp of 5'-flanking DNA of the malic enzyme gene. In CEF, overexpression of C/EBPalpha stimulated promoter activity of constructs that contained the C/EBP site linked to the malic enzyme promoter or a heterologous reporter. The results suggest that C/EBPalpha or a closely related isoform is involved in the tissue-specific expression of the malic enzyme gene. 相似文献

Functional regulation of thyroid hormone receptor variant TR alpha 2 by phosphorylation. 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
The thyroid hormone (T3) receptor (TR) variant TR alpha 2 is abundant in brain but does not bind T3 because of its unique C terminus. The only known function of TR alpha 2, inhibition of TR-dependent transactivation, involves competition for T3 response elements. Paradoxically, in vitro-translated TR alpha 2 bound poorly to these sites. We report here that dephosphorylation of TR alpha 2 restored its DNA binding. Mutation of C-terminal serine residues to alanine (TR alpha 2-SA) was equally effective. The C terminus of TR alpha 2 was phosphorylated in a human cell line, whereas that of TR alpha 2-SA was not. Conversely, TR alpha 2-SA was a much better inhibitor of T3 action than was wild-type TR alpha 2. The dominant negative activity of TR alpha 2-SA was less than stoichiometric with TR concentration, possibly because it was unable to heterodimerize with retinoid X receptor, which enhances the binding of other TRs. Purified casein kinase II as well as a reticulocyte casein kinase II-like activity phosphorylated TR alpha 2 on serines 474 and 475. Mutation of these two residues to alanine was sufficient to restore DNA binding. Thus, DNA binding by TR alpha 2 is regulated by phosphorylation at a site distant from the DNA-binding domain. The increased dominant negative activity of a nonphosphorylatable form of TR alpha 2 suggests that phosphorylation may provide a rapid, T3-independent mechanism for cell-specific modulation of the expression of T3-responsive genes. 相似文献
