We cloned and analyzed the 5'-flanking region of the human thiamin pyrophosphokinase gene (hTPK1). Truncation analysis using transiently transfected HepG2 cells revealed the minimal region required for basal activity of the hTPK1 promoter, which was encoded in a sequence between -105 and +441 relative to the transcription start site. In an electrophoretic mobility shift assay using the nuclear extracts from HepG2 cells and the synthetic oligonucleotide containing the Sp1 site, specific DNA-protein complexes were identified. These findings indicate the importance of the Sp1 cis-element in regulating the hTPK1 gene expression.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
